Default To reverb or not?

OK. I added a little reverb called 'Bright Hall' to it and I also like
that (see below). Unfortunately SoudForge is a little kludgy when it
comes to this sort of thing but it seems to remain within the realms
of
good taste to me! (?)

Here they both are for a back to back for easy comparison:

That sounds good.
At you request, I offer the following, slightly drier:

To keep the .wav file small, I took just eight bars, and
sweetened the last four, by setting the reverb time to
1.5s ( to equate to a smallish auditorium, a little smaller,
and maybe a tad less brightly lit than your bright hall:-)


Thanks for that, that is nice. Not too much sign of reverb but the sound
has good body; it flatters Moira's playing also, seeming to cool the tempo
slightly. She has heard it and likes it.


I chose a slightly shorter reverb time, thinking that
one would perhaps listen to a solo player in a smaller
more intimate auditorium. The reverb is deliberately
not too prominent but you can certainly hear its rounding
effect, particularly at the ends of phrases.

I set the signal fader to 0dB gain, and the reverb send to unity.
The reverb return fader was at -10dB, which means a sig to
reverb ratio of 3:1.
