#UAD PLUGINS REVERB PLUS#
With just one knob that allows the decay of a sound to be reduced or even eliminated, De-Verb Plus also sports a soft peak limiter and a dry/wet control, allowing total flexibility across a wide range of content and a worry-free workflow in the digital world. It uses the same processing technique, known as Differential Envelope Technology, which revolutionized dynamic processing with its level-independent methodology. Normally, I wouldn´t always rate UAD plugins at "10" for bang for the buck.īut at 2% QUAD DSP usage, and considering the price of hardware verbs in it´s class, I don´t feel to have no another choice.The SPL De-Verb Plus Microplug delivers part of the same magical envelope shaping provided by the original Transient Designer hardware, replicating the attenuation provided by the Sustain knob that shortens the decay of your sounds.
I wouldn´t have thought that the very first digital reverb would have an algorithm we would still find incredibly musical 35 years after - so I´m even more surprised that the effects part of the unit sounds great too.Īnd: UAD-2 Users can open multiple instances and this way really benefit from the additional programs. In my experience this verb glues even better than the Lexicon verbs. I like to use the EMT 250 with the emulation of the analog circuits switched off: The original EMT 250 had no digital I/O - and I like the fact that UA´s incarnation does. The EMT 250 has no problem with percussive stuff and provides a great random texture at all settings. Many great reverbs suck on drums because they are not dense enough. The single algo must be the work of a genius - because it sounds great from the shortest to the longest settings. In the mean time I´ve gotten used to the EMT 250, and I´ve been using it on many mixes. When I tried the EMT 250, my first impression was already exceptional.īut somehow I remained a bit sceptical because of the limited control set and 2% of UAD-2 QUAD DSP usage. M3000 which I like for it´s complexity although it doesn´t glue easily. I have a Lexicon 300L which I like for it´s glue with the dry sources and a t.c. I have to admit, that when I bought my UAD-2 during the Manley+Studer+EMT250 promo - I didnt´t even know about the EMT 250, only about the EMT plates. Unfortunately I have fallen in love with the EMT 250. Having bought UAD’s EMT 140 plate plugin as well as Sonnox’s Oxford reverb plugin, I thought I would not have to spend any more money on reverbs. The echo, delay, chorus and “special” sounds are very tasty indeed, giving your mixes a distinctive glisten. This is not just a reverb unit – the other effects are equally as strong. And I’m able to automate the parameters of all of the effects. I feel very privileged to be able to use this reverb, since only 250 of the original EMT units were ever made. The EMT 250 is obviously a very respected unit, having been used on records by Brian Eno and George Massenburg – and soon, just as importantly, me. The GUI is a treat – you can fantasise that you’re sitting with one of the real units from 1976 and pulling the arms on its robot torso. It’s got a gorgeous tail and avoids both being boomy in the low frequencies and fizzly in the high frequencies.
#UAD PLUGINS REVERB PROFESSIONAL#
This is a very professional sounding reverb, especially for vocals. I’ve spent four weeks mixing with this (2 x demo periods) and intend to purchase as soon as I have the money.
