An effect that simulates the acoustic reflections of a physical space, adding depth and a sense of room or hall to a sound.
Reverb models the way sound bounces off walls and surfaces before reaching the listener, wrapping a signal in a tail of decaying reflections. On a DJ mixer, it is typically applied as a send effect and controlled by a wet/dry knob.
Why it matters
A well-placed reverb tail can smooth a transition by washing out the outgoing track and creating space before the drop of the incoming one. Overuse blurs the low end and muddies the mix.
