Reverberation Sampler

[P.J. Sonnichsen]

The simplest way to DIY is with Soundhack (free) or Peak($), they both
do convolution. Take 1.5 seconds of pink noise and do a "fade out" on it.
This your Impulse Response. Take any file you want reverberated and
convolve it with the impulse response. Mix the original with the convolved
signal and voila! Now try different things as impulse responses;  words,
chords, sfx. If there's a really nice 480L preset you like feed in a single
sample (impulse) and record the reverb output, use that sample as your
impulse response and you can throw away the 480L (well, not really).
Convolution is a really great synthesis technique. The only thing it costs
is time...
