Most producers think they’re bad at setting reverb.

But the real problem?

Your room is lying to you.

In untreated home studios, long decay times mask what your reverb is actually doing — so you set it wrong without realizing it.

Then mastering hits…
Limiting brings the reverb forward…
And suddenly your mix sounds washed out.
