Reverb not playing in Apple Music

Why is reverb FX on WAV files rendered from Reaper not working in Apple Music? The FX reverb is perfectly audible when the same rendered WAV file is played in QuickTime.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

It sounds like there might be a compatibility issue with how Apple Music handles reverb effects in WAV files. It's possible that Apple Music's playback system doesn't fully support or interpret the reverb effect applied in Reaper.


One potential solution could be to try converting the WAV file to a different format that is better supported by Apple Music, such as AAC or MP3, and then see if the reverb effect plays correctly. Alternatively, you could try exporting the audio from Reaper with the reverb effect baked into the audio itself rather than relying on the effect to be applied during playback.


If the issue persists, you might want to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance or consider posting your question on forums dedicated to audio production for more specialized help.
