Setting the Reverb Level
in SmartMusic

The fifth choice in “SM Contols” (from the Options menu) is “Reverb”. Reverb is short for “reverberation”.

If you are new to “reverb”, the usual mistake is choosing either too little (i.e., totally off) or far too much (Taj Mahal). A little reverb is good and necessary . If there is no reverb, the playback doesn’t sound realistic because there is always a degree of natural reverberation in any live performance in any room or hall. Without any reverb the playback sounds “dead” (dry). If the reverb level is too high, it will interfere with your ability to play accurately with the accompaniment.

I prefer “Large Room” rather than the default setting “Small Hall” - experiment with various settings.
