That goes right to a question I've been wondering about as I'm reading through this thread and the other similar thread... does applying reverb to the track directly weaken the fundamental of the track in a way that does not happen when applying reverb in parallel? I suspect it does but may not be as apparent on a solo acoustic track because you don't have the build up of a weakened fundamental going across numerous tracks. I could just as easily be wrong on that front though.

I think perhaps (not sure about weaken the fundamentals) but I think it does does make the transients less detailed and reduces the attack and makes it more diffuse, which on multi tracks adds up.
Because to my thinking placing a reverb directly on the audio track is a bit subtractive (for lack of a better term) it takes away some transient attack and by adding diffusion (now arguably that can be compensated for some with pre delay) But in parallel ,, I view it as additive ,, 100% dry transient attack and then the more diffused reverb effect is added to that.sound in the overall mix . ...... But again I am guessing it makes little difference on solo acoustic. Or OTOH I could of course be full of horse feathers
