The usual way, that is, traditionally on an analog mixer, which is the metaphor 
with computer recording software, you would 'send' each track to a reverb 
channel so that both tracks go through the same reverb. This is done with a 
send knob found on each channel strip. So, balance and separation are 
unaffected and the sends go to a separate reverb channel which has its own 
control. This can be a stereo, mono or mono to stereo channel reverb.
