Reverb, short for reverberation, is the persistence of sound in a space after the original sound has stopped. It occurs when sound waves reflect off surfaces like walls, floors, and ceilings, creating a series of echoes that blend together. This effect can make a sound seem fuller and more immersive, as it mimics how we naturally hear sounds in different environments. In music production, reverb is often added to recordings to enhance the listening experience. Different types of reverb, such as hall, plate, or spring, can simulate various acoustic environments, allowing artists to create specific atmospheres in their work.
