Convolution Reverb Explained

Normal reverb works by simulating echoes or sound reflections that might occur in a space, it’ more like an estimate.

On the other hand, convolution reverb actually uses a real sample or recording from a specific place.

This means it can make the sound feel like it’s coming from that exact place, whether it’s a cathedral, a small room, or any other location.

This makes convolution reverb more realistic and detailed compared to normal reverb.

A great free plug-in for this is Melda’s MConvolutionEZ.

The next time that you need a realistic-sounding reverb plugin, load up a convolution reverb!

Another great free convolution reverb is convology xt

[SergeantButters]

how does the convolution really work though? like are the signals being mixed somehow or are both playing at the same time?

Are you implying you have an IR of AR Studio 2? :)

Don't they just sound the same if you get parameters right on the Algorithmic verb?

A pamplution reverb is when a pineapple is used in the delicate reverb or fancy cocktail process

Not a real reverb, it’s based on IR of the room, and lacks of randomness of the real space
