When you sing in the bathroom, or any other small space it tends to sound good. It sounds good even if youre a terrible singer anywhere else. The reason for this, is that your singing; the sound waves, are bouncing off those tighter walls and creating lots of depth to your voice. Depth it normally lacks. You are ;more or less, sing harmony with yourself.

This is also why music or Singing in a concert hall sounds so good, the room has been optimized for that effect.

This added depth of tone gives vocals a nice quality, it also makes music played in a bathroom sound hollow. The reason is that your vocal sounds are not traveling as fast. The Album music has already been optimized for large spaces, by putting it into a small space the sound waves are bouncing around so fast they are canceling each other out and creating a flat; or hollow, sound.

This effect is called Reverberation.

The Audio effect Reverb mimics that natural effect. By “echoing” whats put through it, it creates that depth of sound artificially. most; if not all, singers use it to some degree. As you heard on the audio track from the reverb video, Reverb can do some odd thing to audio when used at high levels. It is mostly used to add a little depth and color to a recording, allowing the environment its played in to do the rest.

For vocals I recommend a 5/95 – 10/90 Dry/Wet with Reverb. But theres no reason to not be creative with it. In Music production dry/wet refers to how much of the sound(s) are affected by the effect. 10/90 means only 10% of the sound (such as your singing) is being proccessed. Again the idea; in most cases, is to add depth, and “color” with the effect, not overpower the sounds.

One last and important thing, the reverb on each part of a recording should match up if used on anything other than vocals. using reverb On vocals alone is fine, but if you want the whole song to use them, either render out the track and put the reverb on top of the whole thing, or make sure to put the same level on each track in the song.

Well thats about it on Reverb, have a nice day.
