[Harp-L] re Adding reverb later

[rainbowjimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Recording engineers almost always set up some reverb in the monitor  
mix for singers (and harp players). Puts some life and some shimmer in  
the sound. The reverb is not recorded--it's only in the monitor mix.  
Later in the mixdown the engineer adds reverb so it all meshes with  
the other instruments.

For things like reverb, compression, and EQ generally the engineer  
will do as little as possible to color the sound until mix down.

Keyboard players and guitarists always argue with the engineers--they  
have these fancy effects and want to use them. The engineers prefer to  
put the effects on later.
