Adding Reverb

jamieh

Hey all,

I don't know much about recording and stuff.

Just wondering....is there any easy way of adding reverb to an mp3. I have a few songs that were recorded directly from a sound board at a concert but they badly need a small bit of reverb.

Is there any free software out there that can do it or do i have to get fancy softwarre??

Should take care of your needs.

Dose each instrument need reverb added?, or the whole track in general?

Its an MP3 so it'll have to be all or nothing. Bear in mind that Audacity has very limited control over reverb parameters.

The whole track will sound a bit weird with reverb on everything.

Anima

Get Ambience. Best free reverb imho. Takes a massive chunk of the cpu though.

This might sound naff, but its a technique used by a lot of engineers when recording in the studio, although generally on a kit or amp not the whole mix. Try playing the Mp3 material through speakers and if you have a mic experiment with placing it at different ditances and in different environments (bathroom, kitchen, hallway, face mic towards pane of glass, etc, etc.) and mix with the original mp3 in audacity. You will probably be lucky to get the result you envisage due to the quality of speakers/mic/time sync when mixing. But you can have some fun and learn a bit about ambience and recording in the process, who knows you might be lucky...

kristal audio might be of use too.

I tried this before. It took a bit of messing about but eventually I got a cool sound. It took a few hours to do it all though. I'd recommend this method.

seems a bit pointless to me
