Hey guys
Well I just bought some awesome speakers for my computer, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that will deliver reverb on anything picked up through the mic? I'd like to be able to muck around with acoustics while I practice.
Thanks for any suggestions!

All the audio processing software I know about does not work in "real" time, i.e., CoolEdit, Goldwave, etc., you add reverb/delay when you process your data. If you want reverb in real time then you need a guitar amplifier.

The Soundcard "Soundblaster" which comes with many computers (or at least used to!) has reverb in it's settings and it's "on the fly" real time.

I use the Soundblaster Live! Platinum card and it gives me a nice reverb on the "concert" setting.
It has a setting for digital speakers, if that's what you bought.

Does the Soundblaster Live 5.1 allow reverb/delay if you only have the front speakers? I played with that card when it first came out and found the "delayed" signal was always diverted to the rear speakers. The delay is also very limited when dealing with 5.1 processors, usually 15/30 ms max. If you want reverb like guitar players use it then you won't get it from a Dolby processor.
If you have a Dolby surround sound system with an AC-3/PCM input you can take the AC-3 output (serial) of your sound card and put it into your receiver. Then use the dolby processing power of the receiver. That should work in real time but I can't remember ever doing it. And finally when attempting to connect a computer sound card's serial output to a surround sound receiver I suggest using optical cabling to avoid ground loops which always seem to plague me when doing these kinds of experiments.

bill,
The Soundblaster Live 5.1 will allow reverb/delay if you have only front speakers (that is what I use, or headphones).
My understanding of how it works, or what it can be made to do, is zilch so I can only tell you that the model I have (it's three years old now and therefore obsolete) has the optical in and out you mentioned plus Sony-Philips in and out, headphone jack (with volume control), microphone jack, midi in and out, and RCA input jacks - all in a front panel that is installed in a 5 1/4 inch drive bay, which is very convenient.
Regards,
Hans

Am I correct that you want to add reverb to make it sound better while you practice (like singing in the shower)?
If so, I'd say don't, at least as a regular thing. You need to develop a vibrant tone without assistance.
Theer's nothing wrong with adding a tiny bit of reverb at a music party, though even there, if you know it's on, it's too loud.

Ken: Just for an occasional thing - I don't get to play on my own in large halls as much as I'd like to!

Reverb? You mean like into headphones? Realtime processing through speakers in the area of the microphone will likely get you some feedback. Granted, there are ways to reduce this, but it can be a problem.
