Steps

  1. Insert Space Designer

    On an auxiliary track (Bus), open an empty Audio FX slot and select 'Reverb > Space Designer'. This is Logic Pro's convolution reverb plugin.

  2. Send Audio to the Reverb Bus

    On the track(s) you want to apply reverb to, open a Send slot in the Channel Strip Inspector and select the Bus number corresponding to your Space Designer auxiliary track.

  3. Choose an Impulse Response

    In the Space Designer interface, navigate the 'Impulse Response' browser by clicking on the 'Impulse Response' menu to select from a wide variety of rooms, halls, plates, and special effects. Experiment with different categories like 'Large Spaces' or 'Medium Rooms'.

  4. Adjust Reverb Parameters

    Fine-tune the reverb sound using controls like 'Length', 'Density', and 'Predelay' in Space Designer. Use the 'Wet' and 'Dry' knobs or the send level on individual tracks to control the reverb mix.
