I'm a bit obsessed with reverb - I probably have 20 reverb plugins for my DAW.
Spring reverb is neat - it's a weird sound and it obviously most famous for being in vintage Fender guitar amps, and also in rackmount reverb units used in reggae/dub music etc.
Something I'm very fascinated by is "convolution" reverb, using a recording of physical space ("impulse response") to make any other digital sound actually sound like it is in that space.
- elihu 4y agoThere's a singing group from Portland that used impulse-response recordings from Hagia Sophia to recreate old church music as it would have sounded back when it was controlled by the Eastern Orthodox church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappella_Romana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappella_Romana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VrJ8XOwJzw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VrJ8XOwJzw
- locusofself 4y agovery cool application of this technology, and the reverb sounds amazing on these recordings it's cool how easy it is to download impulses from all over the web and load them up into a free plugin to hear sounds in different spaces.
