I was wondering if any of the engineers at EA can direct me to any recorded examples of the giant plate reverb you have on hand. Either a band or solo artist, whatever. I'd love to hear what it sounds like, and in what context it was used. I did a search, etc.Thanks!

Bump. Anything?

It's hard to say. I think there is a Silkworm song that had a load of it on vocals. It was just after studio A was finished, so sometime after 1998. Maybe Tim knows. I've used it a bunch, but never in a way that was so obvious as to be able to point it out and say "there, you hear that? that's the plate". It is usually blended in with a bunch of other stuff.

I've used a lot of Studio A's plate reverb as an effect at the very end of this song: Other AnimalsThe band wanted it on the snare drum, it is at approximately 4:25. Hope this helps.

Making me listen to Silkworm is never a bad thing.gregoire wrote:I've used a lot of Studio A's plate reverb as an effect at the very end of this song: Other AnimalsThe band wanted it on the snare drum, it is at approximately 4:25.

Big help.spacebar wrote:The only thing I can link you to is here:The Bootheel: Midnight StalkerThere are these quiet-ish ooh's in the middle there, at 3:15. It's roughly 1 part dry vocal, 2 parts plate. It's rather low, so it's hard to pick out, but the plate is set to long during this passage.I heard it in my headphones. Thanks! As I suspected, that thing is fucking beautiful sounding.Thanks everyone for pointing to some new great music, as well. A nice by-product.Cheers.

Lots of subtle plate on the last couple Nina Nastasia albums. Only on vocals though.
