Description
Plate reverbs have a diffused, bright, idealized sound quality that’s unlike acoustic spaces. Developed in collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, this definitive plugin captures the 4 versatile plates used for film scores, classical projects, and pop music from Pink Floyd to Adele.
The EMT plates installed in 1957 remain in use today—because they sound incredible. Modeled with meticulous detailed and validated by Abbey Road, these sounds are now available to all.
Shiny, Smooth Reverb for All Tracks
Plate reverbs produce a dense, bright sound, without early reflections. This gives the smoothest possible reverb effect with drums, percussion, instrument attacks (like guitar strums), and other percussive sounds.
Give Vocals Brightness and Presence
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.
Variable Versatility
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.
Alter Reverb Decay Time: Bright to Ambient
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.
