Here's what you'll discover:


● Reverb and delay are essential tools for shaping the mood and space in lofi music, contributing to its warm and nostalgic sound


● For reverb, start with subtle, shorter settings like room or plate presets to add warmth and space without making your track sound too distant. Remember to EQ your reverb, particularly by rolling off the low and sometimes high frequencies, to maintain a clean mix


● When using delay, do so subtly to create depth, movement, and rhythm, avoiding excessive amounts that can sound chaotic. Experiment with techniques like ping pong delay for a subtle stereo effect and low-fidelity delays for a hazy atmosphere


● Consider combining delay and reverb by sending your delayed signal to a reverb bus. This can add depth without muddying the original sound
