@ aeon, disco hooligans and seamoon:
i get exactly what you're saying and you're both explaining it 100% technically but you're not understanding what i am saying.
the reason i am saying they're not in the same room is because the dry level stays the same.
example:
set a bus with a reverb with 4s tail.
1. send a snaredrum 100%. listen
2. then change to 10%. listen to the snaredrum again.
what we have is a perfectly clear, precise and identical snaredrum in 2 different rooms.

That's not what I hear. I hear a snare in the same room, although the one that has a lot of reverb on it, has a lot more of the room's characteristics, in it.
Its a simple process that I hear when I mix tunes everyday, the more reverb you put on a sound the more it gets "lost" in the mix. The dry output is the same, yet we perceive the sound with more reverb in it, not as much in your face as the same sound with the same dry output, yet on a touch of reverb.
Obviously this is not the case with any kind of reverb, some reverbs use the early reflections to enhance the sound's "in your faceness"  but generally, I find the more I send a sound in a reverb buss, the more it goes in the background, even if the relative channel fader is at the same level.
Should also note that if you send a track into any reverb at like +10dB, obviously the whole output is going to be a lot louder since you are adding a lot more level to the master channel. My arguments are based on relative mixing techniques that make sense.
