MIC, MOD, FX ADJUSTMENTS WORKING IN KIT PRESETS (continued)
REVERB
REVERB emulates how musical instruments sound
when played in a specific place/room/location.
For example; a medium sized Room, Concert Hall,
Chamber, Church, Cave, literally any place that comes
to mind. In Mimic Pro REVERB is a virtual mic in a
third ambiance channel. The sound produced in this
channel is a result of sending a signal from different
mics of different instruments into the Reverb effect
simulator. Reverb is also a powerful tool for sound
design and offer countless variations of sound.
To access Reverb when in the FX section of the Mixer screen, tap on Reverb mixer strip header and you’ll see a
Reverb effect and EQ after the Reverb. EQ may also be used to further sculpt the Reverb sound if needed.
How to setup
Reverb:
FX ADJUSTMENTS WORKING IN KIT PRESETS (continued)
From the MIX screen tap the Reverb tab. Then Tap FX then Turn the Reverb on by taping the “On” button.
(you have the option to turn on/off)
Next tap the MIC VOL tab and choose an instrument. For example: snare, kick, or any other instrument on
the mixer strip in your kit preset. Next increase the Reverb fader to send the mic, or combination of mics
of desired instruments to the Reverb. The reverb fader corresponds directly to the adjacent mic channel.
Now you should have instruments sent to Reverb. Play them to check to ensure you can hear reverb applied.
Be sure to also check that the Reverb fader of the Mixer is up and not turned off or set to low.
If needed go back to the FX section and try to adjust the Reverb settings.
Apply and adjust the EQ after the Reverb if needed.
Try to experiment with how much signal you send from different instruments to the Reverb channel.
Different combinations of mics sent into Reverb with different levels will greatly vary the sound of the
instrument. When used in just this way it will produce countless sound variations without even changing the
Reverb effect settings (size etc.)

Room Size is the size of a virtual room.
Dampening is how fast high frequencies fade out. Simply put, lowering the
Dampening values means that the room has nothing inside and it’s only a room
with bare stone walls and the sound is ringing, resonant and harsh. Higher
Dampening values means that room is not empty. The higher the Dampening
the more things in that virtual room that absorb the sound making it softer and
more mellow.
Width is how far apart the virtual mics are located/placed in that virtual room in
relation to the instrument placement in that virtual room.
Reverb has three
variable
controls/
faders and is very
easy to setup. You
only need to listen and
experiment.
