--- title: When should I add reverb to a sound in my edit? description: Use reverb to suggest space without hiding the timing or clarity of the sound. --- Reverb adds a sense of reflections and space around a sound. invideo Editor’s audio-effect list includes **Plate Reverb** (`plate_reverb`) and **Verb One** (`voice_reverb`), a one-knob plate reverb for voice. Consider reverb when a sound feels too dry or disconnected from the environment or creative treatment. The Plate Reverb effect showing a 3.7 second tail with Regen, Input Pad and Wetness sliders The Verb One effect showing a 3 second tail and a single Amount slider Listen to the tail after the sound ends and how it overlaps with the next moment. Keep dialogue understandable and avoid allowing a large tail to obscure a cut or musical accent. Adding reverb is not a way to remove room echo already present in a recording. To reduce room echo, see [Clean up the dialogue and keep the original](/how-to/film/dialogue-cleanup).
