A convolution reverb is a digital audio processing technique that uses a sampled or recorded impulse response of a real or virtual space to generate the reverberation effect on a signal. The impulse response is obtained by recording a short sound in a particular space, such as a concert hall or an echo chamber, and then applying a mathematical process called convolution to the original signal. The result is a digitally generated reverb effect that emulates the way sound waves reflect and decay in a real-world environment. Convolution reverb is widely used in music production, film sound design, and other multimedia applications to create a sense of space and depth in the audio.
