How to Get Reverb in Cubase

Cubase comes with several useful effects, including reverb

Cubase is a full-featured digital audio workstation that allows you to record, edit and apply effects to sounds. You can create your own music, soundscape or any other audio production using only this software and its effects. Just about anything you record will need some reverb applied here and there. Reverb gives a track a sense of atmosphere, and when tastefully applied can greatly enhance the sound of a recording.

Things You'll Need

• Track that needs reverb
• Reverb plug-in (included)

Instructions

1. Click the desktop icon for Cubase to launch it. Alternatively, click "Start," then "All Programs" and select Cubase from the programs list.

2. Click "Project," then "Add Track," then "FX Channel."

3. Click "Configuration" and select your preferred output configuration. In most cases, "Stereo" should be fine.

4. Click "Effect" and select "Reverb." Click "OK." A new track will now appear in your workspace, with "Reverb" set as an insert effect.

5. Click one of the "Send" slots to the left of the track that needs reverb, and select the track to which you have just added reverb as an insert.

6. Repeat step 5 for any tracks to which you wish to apply reverb. Using one reverb for multiple tracks is much easier on your computer's processor than loading a separate reverb for each track.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the track's send level slider to adjust the reverb effect's input level, and use the effect track's fader to adjust how much reverb is returned to the original signal.
