If you remember then one thing you know is that there is never enough reverb. The more reverb units you have available, the more diverse your mix can be. Instead of a single word that has to be handled in the mix, if you have several words, they can have their own adjustment spaces.
Fortunately, these standards are a third of the size of the rack, so you can slide a three-in-one shelf rack and six speakers completely independent, if you are a restore memory faithfully then you understand how huge a small thing is. That might be one reverb for each of the three vocalists, one for the snare drum, and two extra stereo mixers or guitars or whatever.
What it’s going to do is garage door openers and give you different options for your sound that you might not otherwise have.
Given that you stick with these less expensive units and they aren’t 24 bit processing they are a bit grainier. But you’re not talking several thousand dollars per unit either, and most of us agree that it’s a nice trade-off for added processing.
When it comes to performance, this is the only benefit for what you are pursuing. There is no such thing as a developer. Apply from left to right, input level to stop clipping, wet/dry mix for word to main mix, output level itself going to buss effects on your console, a choice of sixteen colors from soft reverb to plates, to lip, chorus, and delay. The final button is an adjustment button to increase or decrease the amount of the effect or its depth.
That’s all, two knots or two turns well placed, and you have the exact adjustment that you were, and you can go back to attending the steps on the board or in the notes. What more do you ask for?
