Pro Tip: Reverb settings are starting points. The Haas effect suggests keeping pre-delay under ~30-40ms to avoid perceiving a distinct echo, while retaining transient punch. Adjust decay times slightly by ear so the tail fades naturally just before the next prominent rhythmic hit (like a snare drum) to prevent the mix from clouding.
