REVERBS
Living Room
Directly opposite the Large Cathedral the Living
Room type simulates a relatively small room
well furnished. In such a room many reflections
are absorbed by soft material and source
material is reflected and sustained only from
walls (with wallpaper) and windows and maybe
a table etc.
Club
Did you ever discover the great difference of a
soundcheck and the actual concert. The Club
Reverb emulates a typical empty medium sized
club. Try this on vocals or guitar as an effect
that will put emphasis on these instruments.
Plate I and II
Before the digital era either reverberating
springs or large metallic plates was used to
create Reverb. The characteristics of Plate
Reverbs are diffuse and bright and are still
successfully used on many percussive
instruments.
Spring
The Spring algorithm is designed to reproduce
the sound of the old spring Reverbs, such as
the ones used in vintage guitar amps.
Live
For live purposes a rather grainy and bright
Reverb is needed to cut through the typical
background noise at live locations. The Live
Reverb is optimal when used with medium to
long Decay times and will work excellent on
both vocals and instruments requiring a clear
and obvious Reverb.
Ambience
With focus on the Early Reflections that defines
the perception of a room size, the Ambience
Reverb type is typically used on dry recordings
or dry drum samples to emulate a feeling of
environment. Ambience and Room definition
are the keywords here.
