Dry
« Back to Glossary Index
In audio effects, dry refers to the original, unprocessed signal, while wet is the processed signal (with reverb, delay, chorus, etc.). The dry/wet control lets you blend the two. For example, 100% wet means you hear only the processed sound, while a 50/50 setting mixes both the original and the effect equally. It’s a key parameter for applying effects tastefully in a mix.
