Reverb in Audacity?

[rudjarl]

I've been messing with Audacity. Trying to help my recordings just that little bit to make it sound a bit better. Reverb I thought. Just throw in some reverb and Bob's your uncle. Fat chance... The best reverb I could get out of Audacity was rubbish: Willow Weep For Me

Do I need some kind of plugin for Audacity, or (most likely) is it just me having no capabilities what so ever when it comes to mixing sound?

Hey there, I found there are some threads on SOTW with gverb settings.

Personally, I prefer using delay vs reverb, mainly because gverb keeps forgetting its settings Perhaps try a delay of 0.15? Could work

Thank's Gallen. I'll play around with it and see what comes up

Rune, try using these settings for your Audacity reverb.

40 - 4 - .9 - .75 - 0 - -22 - -28

They were recommended to be by c9off and I think on the whole they do a great job!
Have a play and see what you think.

Thank's Pete, I'll have a go with those settings.

I think it was much better. Me happy

Some nice ideas there, sounds though as if some of your low notes don't want to come out.
Which backing track is this?

That sounds much easier on the ears than the first version. Very nicely played Rune.

Thanks Pete

Backing track is Hal Leonard. Low notes are trouble because I have to avoid loud playing. (Having trouble rigging the mic and Audacity so that I can play normally. I'm about 10 feet away from the mic but still can hardly make any sound at all... no worry... I learn how to in a lifetime or two )

"Backing track is Hal Leonard" can you please tell me the exact book title?

OK found it, Vol.27

To play quietly, use a soft reed and relax the embouchure. I of course recommend sanding until low D blows easily/quietly ;}
