Reverberation and Delay - **The Difference and Similarities between Reverberation and Delay** - **Delay Uses:** - Echo effect - Distributed sound systems (large spaces with different loudspeaker clusters) - **Reverb Chamber:** - A highly live sound room with a speaker (input) and mic (output) - May experience various noise issues, but produces a very natural sound - Known for its luxurious reverb quality - **Duct-Type Reverbs:** - Speaker → Pipe/Tube → Mic - **Spring-Type Reverbs:** - Transducer → Metal Coils/Springs (in parallel) → Transducer - May produce metallic glitch sounds; to fix, reduce gain or insert compression - The spring may also be excited directly by another source, like a speaker - **Plate-Type Reverbs:** - Transducer → Large Suspended Plate (3x5 feet) → Transducer - **Digital Reverberation:** - Anti-aliasing filter and Nyquist Theorem
