Default To reverb or not?

o.uk...

I can remember some [many] years ago recording guitar with an AC30 in an
old water cistern...


Great fun! And it's good to get people guessing when they
ask "How did you do that?"

With a little imagination you can create very individual
effects. I have recorded drums at the bottom of a
six flight stair-well. The kit was spread over nine
tracks plus two for ambience. These ambience tracks
were gated long on the mix, to shut the reverb down,
cutting it dead, - a great effect.
