Stellar work as always. A company that's just not bothered with selling plugins but also to the actual art of music engineering and production. Bought Sonsiq reverb from these guys and it's incredibly amazing.
Good video. This plugin becomes 1000x better when you actually learn all the intricacies. And learning them on the LX480 is esentially learning reverb itself. Thanks.
Thanks. And yes - the original went deep, and the plug-in goes even deeper, so there can be a lot to absorb at times, but once someone does, the power of this reverb is exponential. Glad you're enjoying it!
I got 'married' to this magnificent reverb and I will never leave it. I really appreciate your videos as you search for the right sound you want to hear; it too is in my ropes, in my musical culture. I look forward to seeing more of your suggestions soon! Well, I'm going to play a little, because tonight there's a football match...:-)
Thank you for the tutorial. The content was great but those silly woosh sound effects and the "Listen Now" with the countdown were pointless and distracting. It's hard to believe anyone spent time in post actually adding that.
The LX480 is a great reverb, but your video here would be much better without the silly sound effects when the graphics (“LISTEN NOW”) come in and out. We are trying to listen to subtle changes, and the dumb whoosh makes it harder, and is not needed anyway.. Great plug in though
@@PeterDowsettdowsed You're welcome :) I like to be called out when I'm wrong;that's the only way to learn. That being said, the line starting at 3:08-ish sounds very much pitch-corrected to me.
@@jakobole if it's the long note "AAAAAAM" that you are talking about then it is a little wobbly on the vibrato. I can see why that might sound pitch-corrected like Antares Auto-tune wavering a bit but it's definitely not. In the release version, I used Melodyne on a couple of words, but not much. This is just the raw recording though.
@@PeterDowsettdowsed Ok - thanks. But then we've come full circle - new generations of artists that are starting to sound as if they were pitch-corrected :) I saw a vocal-coach talk about it the other day ,that modern vocalists, of course, are mimicing what they hear around them, which is of course tuned vocals....Oh - Nice video btw. One would think that "dry" sounds brings intimacy, while it's often the opposite - short verbs / ER's are often the key. On some material you can even go crazy on the send and distort/saturate the short verb/ER. This also let's you make the verb/ER even shorter, which is sometimes neat // Greetings from Sonic Peak Studio, Copenhagen.
@@jakobole Couldn't agree more, it is counter-intuitive but to get the vocal to sound full, and wide but still feel intimate it is all about the short verbs or ERs (or in some cases simpler short delays). I think the issue is that you "feel" a lot of this in the context of the mix rather than explicitly hearing it, and that makes it difficult for those first starting out to hear it. I know from my own experience it took more years than I'd like to admit to work that out.
For the love of Pete... please stop using Pitch Correction software on Vocals. Emulating "real" spaces but using "unnatural pitch" has always grated on my ears :(
Well, for the love of me, I can tell you that this vocal has ZERO pitch correction on it. If memory serves I used a light amount on a couple of words in the release version but this is the raw tracking. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video though.
@@PeterDowsettdowsed My apology. It sounded a bit "odd" in the sustained parts. Could be something else. My ears doth deceive me. The vocals sound great, especially with the "480" sound.
@@off_key88 No worries, well in that case I think I know what you are hearing. Marisa has some quite prominent harmonics in her voice and they come out particularly strongly on pretty straight sustained notes (as in not much bend or a more controlled tighter vibrato). At times the early harmonics (1st and 2nd overtones) can be almost as strong as the fundamental. On a couple of occasions on the recordings I've done for them, I've had to dip out a specific resonance. I tried automatic tools for this like soothe, multi-band comps etc but by the time I got them where I wanted them it was very obvious and in the end, I just resorted to offline rendering those specific notes. None of that is rendered in the video here.
