Waves Abbey Road Reverb Plates

Description

heading: Give Vocals Brightness and Presence,
paragraph: Compared to the organic sound of acoustic reverb, the focused, bright sound of plates has made them a favorite reverb for vocals and percussive instruments—but the sound quality helps any track stand out just a little more in a mix.

,
heading: Variable Versatility,
paragraph: No two plate sounds are alike—so Abbey Road Reverb Plates captures the sound of the 4 distinctly different plates at Abbey Road Studios. Embellish the sound further with drive, analog modeling, pre-delay, and EQ.

heading: Alter Reverb Decay Time: Bright to Ambient,
paragraph: Waves has faithfully modeled the complex mechanical damping mechanism that altered plate reverb times. Choose short and snappy reverb for vocals or extend the reverb up to 6 seconds for massive ambient synth vibes.
