Plugins1 - Reverb Assignment

For this exercise, we want you to experiment with the different parameters and settings of a reverb plugin. While the settings we use in this exercise may not be typical for the given instrument, it gives us a chance to have fun and be creative. Explore the different types of reverb plugins as well as their settings and parameters.
