Who is the Reverb & Delay poster for?
Reverb & Delay belongs to the Music section rather than to a school year, because music is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning production can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Reverb & Delay poster?
Send to one shared reverb rather than putting one on every track. Shared space sounds like one room. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Reverb & Delay belongs on the wall where that music work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
