This month, another beginner’s guide, this time with a nod to Reverb! This is one tool that is very often misused – mainly, I think, because as radio people we seldom think in terms of subtlety. Most of the time, I hear too much ‘verb on the sound coming out of my smart speakers/radio. As we delve into the nuts and bolts of this tool, please remember that very little can go an awful long way.

For those who may not know, in 1989, Radio And Production began collecting audio from producers worldwide and presenting it on the monthly “RAP Cassette”, which eventually became the “RAP CD”. The collection of audio represents a history of radio production over 26 years and features promos, commercials, imaging and more from some of the greatest and most creative radio production people our industry has ever known.
