I think blur can also be associated with reverb

Welcome to Music Production@sh.itjust.works.
A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!
Rules are as follows:
- Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
- No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.
We will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!
Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:
(in no particular order)
- Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
- Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
- Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
- News about production software, releases and personalities.
- Questions and general advice about music production.
- Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
- Your physical analogue gear! Let us know how it performs!
Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, Lemmy (and the broader fediverse) is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

How tho, it simulates echo and physical space doesnt it?
Yes. Blur kind of gradually spreads color of every pixel into all directions, reverb's doing the same with sound. Did you know that the simplest type of reverb is delay with super short time? I would personally consider lossiness (or cutoff effect) of blur a side effect of pixel giving away a bit of it's color to its surroundings. Filter on the other hand is a cutoff that just takes but doesn't put it back somewhere else.
Lol i saw that one too. So blur = vocoder for you?
It's more about the pixelation to me.
To your question about low-pass filtering, I can see a gradient fade working for that (transparent to solid black for example)
The visual equivalent of a low pass filter would be desaturation in blues/violets. I guess the sonic equivalent of blur would probably be a diffuse field...
I'm a sound cat not really a visual one, but since both are waves there are pretty clear correlaries.
