I am just starting to learn about reverb, and what exactly it is. I knew before somewhat, but am trying to learn what it truly is and how to apply it to string and piano like stuff.
Right now I have a beautiful string part I have made. I use EastWest Symphonic Orchestra, and in the reverb part of the interface it has a few options. They have over one hundred different preset reverb effects to choose from, such as cathedral, large hall, small hall etc.
I am trying to get the strings in my song to sound like they are in a large hall or cathedral, so basically lots of reverb I guess is what I am looking for. So I have chosen the cathedral effect, but there are also two more options, volume and pre-delay.
I read online that pre-delay is the time it takes for the first reflections to be heard after the initial sound has been produced...? Assuming this is correct, how does volume work into this? And how do I combine the two to emulate that cathedral/large hall sound I am looking for?
