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.




But all the better if she can just accompany herself.

Yeuch!

Come back Mantovani, all is forgiven...

He couldn't do interesting discords though.



Don, if anything, it needed a little help the other way - not making sound
*worse*!!!


Just for laughs. Sometimes worse is better.
