    Question for Dietz:

    I'm not sure when to use which reverb. I know there are two approaches for MIRacle: a) enhance and b) hybrid. Even some of the "enhance" presets should be used with reduced reverb lengths.

    Example for MIRx Synchron Stage:

    • Which MIRacle preset is best suited for the Synchron Stage? Does it make sense to take the Synchron Stage or will it introduce some phasing?

    • Is there a difference in sound between
      1) 1.0s MIR reverb + 1.8s algo
      2) 1.8s MIR reverb

      For me, in the first scenario the sound is more direct. Is this correct? Maybe just my imagination...

    • If I have a "good" sound at 1.2s MIR reverb, but increase the length to 1.6s. Should I reduce the wetness so that the sound would be as it is at 1.2s, but only with a longer tail? Or does a longer reverb automatically mean more wetness? Hope it's clear what I mean.

    The answer to this question depends a lot on the context. I'm not able to tell from the distance what the effect will be without hearing an example.

    Best,

    I don't have an audio example, it's just a question I stumbled upon while experimenting in MIR Pro. I thought maybe there is some "science" behind this.

    When pre-delay is needed to get rid of phasing issues in context of convolution based reverb, then it's most likely that there are remnants of the direct signal still audible in the used IRs - something that's no the case in any of MIR Pro's Venues.

    MIRacle is the alorithmic reverb add-on for MIR Pro. It doesn't use any IRs whatsoever. Its name is just my childish wordplay on the terms MIR and miracle (auf Deutsch: Wunder). 8-)

    HTH,
