Description

A chance to create a home-made spring reverb unit and to put it into use in a recording studio setting. Explore the way that different components work (sound, speakers, reversing speakers to make microphones, DAW, Analogue to Digital (A/D) conversion, and the uses of reverb).  Make different lengths of reverb, explore different methods of housing, varied pickup spacing and then apply these DIY reverb units to pre-recorded multitrack sessions in Sound Gallery Studios. The best DIY items could potentially become useable items at the studio.
