A film's soundtrack would not be successful without the use of reverb. This is because reverb is a natural occurrence which we experience everyday, and its absence would be noticed right away. Reverb helps ground and blend the sound elements of a film by “putting them in the space” and setting of cinematic scenes. There are dozens of reverb's on market today; plate, spring, digital/algorithmic reverbs, linear reverbs, non-linear reverbs, and convolution reverbs, but how do they really work?

Sound artist Matt Yocum (Pet Sematary, The Cloverfield Paradox) focuses on the two main types of reverb that we often hear and use in post workflows: Algorithmic and Convolution Reverbs, and guides us through examples and the best uses to help augment our mixes.
