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.
