RT60 is the time it takes for the reverberation to decay by 60 dB. It's crucial in designing spaces with the desired acoustics and adjusting reverb effects in production for naturalness.

Room modes are the resonant frequencies specific to a room's dimensions where standing waves can occur. These need to be controlled for balanced reverb and room acoustics.

The wet/dry mix is the balance between the processed (wet) and unprocessed (dry) signals. It's adjusted to blend the reverb effect naturally into the mix.

The reverb decay curve describes how the amplitude of the reverb tail decreases over time. It's used to design the fade-out characteristic of a reverberation effect.

An impulse response is a recording of the reverb that occurs in a space when subjected to an idealized 'impulse'. IRs are used in convolution reverbs to emulate specific spaces.

Damping refers to the reduction of reverb in certain frequency ranges. It's used to tailor the reverb character in a mix by reducing muddiness or brightness.

The absorption coefficient is a measure of how much sound is absorbed by a material, as opposed to being reflected. It is used in selecting materials for acoustic treatment.

Modulation in reverb applies varying changes to delay lines. This creates a more complex and less mechanical-sounding reverb by simulating the random fluctuations in natural environments.

Diffusion is the spreading of sound waves in many directions caused by reflective surfaces. It's used in acoustic treatment of rooms and in algorithms of reverb processors to create a sense of space.

Convolution reverb uses impulse responses to digitally replicate the reverb of real spaces. It is used widely in post-production to bring realistic reverb effects.

Pre-Delay is the time between the direct sound and the onset of reverberation. It affects the perceived size of the room and helps to separate the source from the reverb tail in a mix.

In digital reverbs, delay lines are used to simulate the echo effects that occur in natural reverb. They are the primary components in creating the initial delay and reverb decay.

The reverb tail is the prolonged echo that follows the initial reflections and slowly decays. It contributes to the ambiance and sustain in a mix.

Early reflections are the first set of echoes that reach the listener shortly after the direct sound. They help in perceiving the size of the space and the distance of the sound source.
