DP Reverb

[Guitar Gaz]

I've been rediscovering MOTU's Plate Reverb in DP. It was my main reverb many years ago, but when I got Altiverb, I made the classic mistake of thinking that anything Plate Reverb could do, Altiverb could do better, because the latter is more expensive, I guess.

A few days ago a singer asked for a reverb for tracking, and I stuck the plate on there. It was gorgeous! After the Plate, I could not find anything in Altiverb that satisfied. I'm thinking of leaving it in the final mix.

And the redesign of the interface is great! I had not seen it since they did that. It may have been redone years ago, or maybe just in DP9; I really don't know, but it's really a nice plugin now.

When I worked at IBC studios in London in the 1970's we used to use plate echo mixed with tape delay. To me that always sounded "right" and I tend to use a combination of the Plate setting and a tape delay mixed in. It then sounds like a natural echo - to me anyway. So the Motu built ins can give a good emulation.

I'd pick an IR of a plate over the plate reverb in DP any day. IMHO.

so disagree...

Most the plates that come with Proverb I can't use...

The plate verb has something original going on, you just have to tweak it...

So it seems. I only tried it several years back, but it was super-smooth and easy on the ear.

PS I know this could be controversial, But I've never liked the sound of proverb even with really decent IR's, has always sounded 2 dimensional to me... Triple that when I started useing a PCM70 instead.... Chalk and cheese completely, 70 sounds lush, open, deep, Proverb sounds tiny...

There's a depth and spaciousness to the Lex units that can't be beat in my experience, Mark, so it's probably not a fair comparison, especially as even IRs of said units can't capture the modulations on offer by the hardware and software Lex products.

...Oh, and G'day Mark!

Hey ya Nicky... One of these days expect a visit.... Found ya number

'Bout time, bro'!

I find ProVerb with Bricasti IRs to be a whole 'nuther beast.

Which website would you recommend for Bricasti IR's? I'm fortunate enough to own a Bricasti and they really are the mutts nuts, but only having one means printing to the computer to have multiples. Always on the look out for alternative software reverbs. FWIW the waves H Reverb is very good, extremely powerful from the deep editing point of view and PSP's spring reverb is wicked.

Sorry for drifting off topic.

If you Google it, Sean, the free sets should show up; it's been posted in many a location over the years.

There's, for instance, the Bricasti M7 24/48 set from Acousticas, and the Bricasti M7 24/96 one from Signaltonoize.

I've kept just these two as there's a little overlap with the room impulses.

Thanks, I'll get busy with that.
