Tail

English

Room Size

Room Size changes the size of the virtual room that is generating the tail.

This lets you adjust the tail’s dimensions to match the early reﬂections’ di-

mensions.

Though you’re best off relying mainly on your hearing, there are some

standard values we want to share with you: A Room Size of 100% equates

with cathedrals and concert halls, 50% gives you a studio-size recording

room. For values below that, we’re talking speaker cabins and phone

booths.

Ambience

Ambience lets you nudge the sound source deeper into the room. The effect

is comparable to bringing up the level of ambient or overhead micro-

phones during the mix.

This parameter is ideal for making voices or instruments sound “bigger.”

Density

Density inﬂuences the density of the tail’s reﬂection. The further you back

off Density, the more clearly you can hear individual reﬂections bouncing

off the room’s walls.

A Density value of 0% yields the reﬂection density of a canyon.

Color

Color adjusts the timbre or tonal quality of the tail from dark to bright.

At values of around 3,000 Hz the tail sounds dark; at about 6,000 Hz it

sounds very natural; at 8,000 Hz it starts to sound remarkably bright.
