Something I have been wondering about is adding reverb to recordings.

This:

is a recent effort of Swimbo on the alto that I rather like but without
any reverb applied. Would anyone consider reverb to be necessary in this
instance? I do rather get the impression that some people consider a
little reverb to be essential on just about everything..??


Purely a matter of taste. For me it's a tad dry, but I much
prefer this to the other extreme.



Hi Iain, try this one with a little 'Bright Hall' reverb added - I hafta say
I quite like it myself:

But I would want to be in the habit of sloshing it into everything I record
unless I have to, of course - it's only me recording Swim on either the alto
sax or the Bb clart.
