What is the decay time for vocal reverb? ›

Decay. Decay is the time (in seconds) required for the reflections (reverberation) to die away. In most modern music production, reverb decay times of between one and three seconds are prevalent.

For a BPM of 100, the results might look something like this: DURATION OF DELAY / REVERB: 75.00 ms for Hall (2 Bars), 37.50 ms for Large Room (1 Bar), and so on. PRE-DELAY: Values ranging from 75.00 ms for Hall to 2.34 ms for Sixteenth Note (1/16 Note).

Although you might want some reverb for a sense of space, too much can muddy the waters. Consider a short and tight reverb to maintain energy and clarity. Ballads: For ballads, a lush and long reverb can accentuate the emotional impact of the vocals.

Abbey Road engineers initially thought 600 Hz and 10 kHz was a good starting point, but you can decide for yourself what sounds best for your mix. You'll find that the low end that caused all the muddiness is gone right away. For vocal reverb, you can even come down to around 7 kHz, or even lower if you'd like.

ValhallaRoom is the most popular Valhalla reverb for classical applications and virtual orchestral instruments. The Depth slider in Room is useful for setting up an early reflection / late reverb balance.

Likewise, to keep the reverb correct, you can also time up the pre-delay to a quarter (125ms) or an eighth of a beat (63ms), depending on which sounds best.

The relative sound intensity as the listener moves away from the source. The point at which the listener perceives equal energy of reverberant and direct sound is known as Critical Distance.

Use a mono reverb on vocals if you want them to be upfront and focused. But if you want the vocals to sound large or like they're in the background, use a stereo reverb.

Good starting point would be somewhere around 60-100 HZ. Tweak it till it sounds right for your sound. Sub frequencies should stay dry and unaffected, without any overlapping from the reverb.

For an orchestra concert hall, the ideal reverberation time for sound is 1.8–2.6 s over the range of high to low frequency. For opera, the ideal value is 1.4–1.8 s. For classrooms or conference rooms, the reverberation time shall be between 0.6 and 1.0 s.

What BPM is 100 bad days? ›

Composition. common time in the key of B-flat major, with a tempo of 144 beats per minute (bpm).

Dotted-quarter = 128bpm means "there are 128 dotted quarter-notes per minute". A dotted quarter-note is equivalent to three eighth notes. Thus, dotted-quarter = 128bpm is equivalent to eighth-note = 128*3bpm = 384bpm. A quarter-note is equivalent to two eighth notes.

Thus, a tempo of 120 bpm means that 120 beats transpire in one minute, so the beat interval (that is, the time interval between beats) is 60 seconds/minute divided by 120 beats/minute, which is 0.5 seconds/beat.

Simply put, the Sabine Formula is T=0.049(V/A) where T = reverberation time or time required (for sound to decay 60 dB after source has stopped) in seconds. V = Volume of room in cubic feet. A = Total area of absorption in sabins.

How can we make objective measurements of reverberation? We use the metric Reverberation Time 60 (RT60). RT60 is defined as the measure of the time after the sound source ceases that it takes for the sound pressure level to reduce by 60 dB.

Vibrato rate (or frequency) refers to the number of oscillations per second and is calculated as 1/period (and expressed in hertz, Hz; for reference, 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second).

Calculate Reverb and Delay Time

60,000 divided by BPM (Beats Per Minute) = delay or reverb time (quarter notes). You can then use this result, it's fractions, and/or multiples in your reverb and delay times.
