• Introduction & Interface (05:29) - This video introduces the series and outlines the different areas of the interface.
• Reverb Controls Pt. 1 (13:01) - We discuss reverb algorithms, gain, and Pre-Delay next. This allows us to dial in the correct reverb type and offers the opportunity to separate out the reverb from the dry signal.
