There's a whole kind of melancholy that you can only attain with reverb. That's an example of a technology introducing a whole new meaning.
Reverb does that thing where you make one sound and it grows to 20 times its original size and fills everything up.
If I didn't have the reverb I'd be an unhappy camper. So I want reverb in my monitor mix. Reverb and a good level in my monitor and I'm all set.
