    Frequently Asked Questions


    What is cathedral reverb?

    Cathedral reverb simulates the open acoustics of a grand cathedral, with wide spatial echo and long, smooth decay. It brings grandeur and a spiritual, cinematic feel to your sound.

    Is this effect good for orchestral music?

    Yes, cathedral reverb is ideal for orchestral recordings, choirs, organ music, or dramatic pieces. It adds a genuine sense of performing in a huge, resonant space.

    How does "Room Scale" affect cathedral reverb?

    A large room scale value extends the reverb tail and increases the echo to a more prominent presence. To achieve the cathedral effect, it's best to move the slider accordingly.

    Will this sound good on voice narration or speech?

    Yes, it can produce your voice with a reverent atmosphere. However, due to the extensive decay, it should be applied in moderation or used for stylized pieces such as poetry, drama readings, or storytelling.

    What's the purpose of pre-delay in cathedral reverb?

    Pre-delay inserts a slight delay between dry and reverb onset. It prevents vocals and leads from getting mushy, yet inserts a grand echo after them.

    Can I apply this to church music or religious recordings?

    Yes, definitely. Cathedral reverb is perfect for hymns, sermons, chanting, or religious music. It imparts the depth and resonance of an actual-world spiritual environment.

    Does it impact the timing or tempo of the audio?

    No, reverb adds only an ambient echo. It does not modify the rhythm, speed, or tempo of your initial recording.

    Is stereo depth critical with cathedral reverb?

    Yes, stereo depth makes the echo field wider and deeper. To get the best effect, set the stereo depth to create the illusion of audio reflections radiating into a wide area.

    How long should the reverb tail be?

    In cathedral environments, a 6–10-second longer reverb tail is typical. It creates a sense of sound lingering in the huge space after the source ends.

    Can this be used for cinematic audio?

    Yes, cathedral reverb is perfect for film scores, fantasy game FX design, or dramatic audio production.

    Does high-frequency damping matter for this effect?

    Indeed. Cutting HF damping permits brighter reflections, but boosting it smooths and warms the echo—a perfect way to balance reverb brightness in cathedrals.

    How high should I set reverberance for this sound?

    Cathedral-type sound requires reverberance between 60%–80%. This produces a rich, enveloping echo that's great for ambient or spiritual recordings.

    Will my file size increase?

    The additional spatial information may lengthen the waveform slightly, particularly with longer reverb tails, but the size is still compact enough for downloading and sharing.

    Is this useful for podcasts or interviews?

    It can if you're shooting for a dramatic or storytelling approach.

    Is this going to alter the pitch or key of my voice?

    No, it will not change the pitch or frequency of your voice. The reverb only adds ambient space, no tonal alteration.
