I'm going to chuck a cat in amongst the pigeons here. I've just tried
this. I recorded some speech, then applied both delay and reverb in
Adobe Audition. No matter which order I apply them, the result is
identical. In other words, they commute.

Can you hear a difference between the two versions? If so, which do
you reckon got the delay first?

But did you do it correctly?
As mentioned above, when you delay the reverb, you do not bring the
delay back to the return signal loop, but use to feed the reverb,
the output of which is then brought back to the mix. The result
is the original dry sound, followed by a pause, but no repeat,
then the reverb.

This is probably not possible in Audition, and is the reason why
it is best experimented with using standalone hardware units.


Don. I have now had a chance to make up some clips to
illustrate the differences I was talking about.

For a sound source, I played a couple of bars of a slow
blues in F, on my trusty vibraphone (Bloke's Blues" by Victor
Feldman) at 120 bpm. I then extracted the first bar to used
as a clip.

Then, I added a generous dollop of reverb (just as Keith did
with his clnt clip). So here is my 1 bar clip plus reverb.


Not clart, saxophone - alto.

Now, while we are on the topic, here's one right up your street - Jan
Garbarek, a Norwegian who plays tenor and soprano saxes:

But perhaps not quite your sort of music - no?
