SilverVerb controls in Final Cut Pro for Mac
SilverVerb provides a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) that can modulate the reverberated signal. It also includes high cut and low cut filters, allowing you to filter frequencies from the reverb signal. High-frequency transients (short bursts of amplitude, normally at the onset of a sound) in reverb signals can sound unpleasant, hamper speech intelligibility, or mask the overtones of the original signal. Long reverb tails with a lot of bass generally result in an indistinct mix.
To add the SilverVerb effect to a clip and show the effect’s controls, see Add Logic effects to clips in Final Cut Pro for Mac.
Predelay knob and field: Set the time between the original signal and the reverb signal.
Reflectivity knob and field: Define how reflective the imaginary walls, ceiling, and floor are.
Size knob and field: Define the dimensions of the simulated room.
Density/Time knob and field: Determine both the density and the duration of the reverb.
Low Cut slider and field: Filter frequencies below the set value out of the reverb signal. This affects only the tone of the reverb signal, not the original signal.
High Cut slider and field: Filter frequencies above the set value out of the reverb signal. This affects only the tone of the reverb signal, not the original signal.
Modulation On/Off button: Enable or disable the LFO. This affects the Rate, Phase, and Intensity parameters.
Rate knob and field: Set the frequency, or speed, of the LFO.
Phase knob and field: Define the phase of the modulation between the left and right channels of the reverb signal.
At 0°, the extreme values (minimum or maximum) of the modulation are achieved simultaneously on both the left and right channels.
At a value of 180°, the extreme values opposite each other (left channel minimum, right channel maximum, or vice versa) are reached simultaneously.
Intensity slider and field: Set the modulation amount. A value of 0 turns off the delay modulation.
Dry and Wet sliders and fields: Set the balance between the effect (wet) and original (dry) signals.
