Audacity Forum

i just downloaded audacity...and i see it doesn't have a reeverb effect im trying to put "classic reverb" VST in the audacity plug-in folder. But when i start it up i don't see it in the "effects". Can someone help me with this??

Try G-verb instead, I think it is in the LADSPA plug-in pack available from the main Audacity web site.

The best way to use reverb effects in Audacity (particularly G-Verb) is to duplicate the track first (Edit menu) then apply the reverb to the duplicate track. You can then mix the wet and dry tracks to get your desired balance.

OoOo ok thnaks...i downloaded the LADSPA pack...but i still don't see it in my Effects list...

I couldn't remember exactly where I got it from, but see this page: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=GVerb

I quite like G-verb, but the Default reverb time is far too long for most purposes - try cutting it down to about 1,5 seconds for something more realistic.

If you want pre-delay with your reverb, use the time-shift tool to drag the wet track a bit to the right (try about 40 ms) - This will keep a sense of depth from the reverb, but will also help keep the vocal up-front.

There is also a link to Freeverb which is pretty good too.

I'm not a big fan of VST effects in Audacity - the GUI is just a generic one, so they can be difficult to use, even if they work (which quite a few don't).

Hello! I do not remember where I originally got the Classic Reverb from, but I have saved it to my website, so I can use it over and over and also make available for other people. The link is: http://www.flaming-point.com/Classic%20Reverb.dll
But you do have to copy and paste it into the PLUG-INS folder in Audacity. Hope this helps!
