Chapter 40: RealVerb Pro

Note:

While materials are used to control decay rates as a function of fre-

quency, the overall decay rate of the late-field reverberation is controlled from
the Timing panel (see

Figure 126 on page 405

).

To configure the room material and thickness:

1.

Select a room material from the first (left) pop-up menu. The selected mate-
rial appears in the left side of the Material circle.

2.

Adjust the thickness for the first material with the top horizontal slider:

• A default thickness of +100% yields normal, real-world decays for the ma-

terial.

• Thicknesses beyond the default (up to +200%) exaggerate how the frequen-

cies are absorbed and reflected.

• Negative thicknesses invert the response of the material. If the material nor-

mally absorbs high frequencies (causing them to decay quickly) and reflects
low frequencies (causing them to decay slowly), a negative thickness will in-
stead absorb low frequencies (causing them to decay quickly) and reflect
high frequencies (causing them to decay slowly).

• A thickness of 0% yields decay rates that are not affected by the material.

3.

Select a material from the second (right) pop-up menu. The selected mate-
rial appears in the right side of the Material circle. Adjust the material thick-
ness with the bottom horizontal slider.
