Virtually every piece of music we listen to, regardless of genre, has something in common: effects! A great recording or performance is paramount to producing a great song, but what gives it that extra professional polish are effects. In this episode, we explore 3 of the most common and widely used effects in audio and music production: Reverb, Delay and Chorus. Join us as we unpack examples of these effects in action, talk about their parameters and how you can dive in if you've never done so before in your own projects.
