Space Designer

The other reverb in the category of reverbs in Logic Pro is Space Designer. This is known as a convolution reverb, which is fundamentally different:

• Based on Samples:

  • Smaller spaces available too, like rooms or jazz guitar rooms.

This reverb is incredibly powerful and well worth checking out.
