Guest peterdines Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 What is this reverb unit? Hardware, software? It reminds me of some of the sounds from the Analord series or The Tuss or something. Makes me think it's hardware. You hear it prominently here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcggjnR9rfA Watch it be some stock thing from Pro Tools or Logic or some really standard DAW I've never used...

psn Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Can't help with the reverb. However - cool track. Little bit of a Drexciya paraphrase in there with the ascending/descending figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Cool track, the reverb is very good too yeah. Maybe some combo of echo and reverb. Not sure if it's hardware. It could be plate reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpyLoo Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Sorry I can't help, but I recently learned that MidiVerb II was the magic ingredient in the guitar sound on Isn't Anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterE Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 yeh it does sound kinda plate-like. could be a software sim of plates tho. reverb is a hard thing to peg. i think it'd be almost impossible to say what this or that reverb is from. you can say 'sounds like a spring verb' or 'sounds like a plate', which are the two main mechanical types and have a fairly specific sound, but both of those have been simulated digitally and with digital simulations you can create all sorts of hybrid/non-existent types of reverbs. some hardware digital boxes are said to have a sort of signature sound and maybe someone familiar with something like a bricasti could identify its use in some cases. but i think it'd be pretty tricky and impossible in some cases to pin down what specific source any example of reverb came from.

I snoozed on these Aleksi releases. I really like this. Yeah, this verb could be anything, but I don't think it's emulating any specific spring or plate verb. You can get a similar lush sound from DAW verbs pretty easily. It's a matter of playing with the frequencies, decay, type, pre-delay, color, etc. settings.

elusive4 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 reverb tip: convolution. amazing technology. you can clap in a room and load it into a convolution reverb and get the exact sound of the room. unless you are in an actual reverberant soundfield (well past critical-distance (Dc)), what you will "get" is the transfer function of the room based on source/receiver positions. eg, the "exact sound (transfer function) of the room at a certain (static) position". convolution tip: try to get the impulse / clap as close to white noise as possible (i.e. flat across the spectrum) swept sine w/ dodec source.

modey Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Or just pop a balloon and fuck that shit. How does it work? Do you need a dry recording of the balloon pop as well for comparison? I've never used convolution before, but I want to get into it since I frequently encounter awesome sounding environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's like a quick'n'dirty representation of a white noise blast, and shows how each frequency band decays over time. So yeah, no need for a dry recording, just a recording of the blast/pop in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
