JunkieXL: "WHAT'S WITH ALL THE REVERB?!"

Published on Jul 18, 2017 junkiexlofficial

I used to be a purist when it came to synth demos as I wanted to hear the synth, not the effects, but over time I've come to see effects as the equivalent to filters. Yes, they color the sound, but the sound source itself is still the synth. It's also worth noting that effects allow you to take any sound source (however "lowly" the synth) and do something interesting with it. Also digital effects in essence are a form of synthesis.
