Okay, here's another one. My first own apartment was in a converted school building. It was one big room with a small slightly separated sleeping area and then a bathroom with shower. The main room was completely open between kitchen and living room, this means that the actual measures in this large room was 7 m wide, 5 m deep and roughly 3.5 m from floor to ceiling. I don't know the material of the walls for sure but I think the ceiling was just concrete. I really liked the acoustics of that apartment.
I made this recording (mono, sorry) of my crappy guitar playing in that room before I got much furniture or curtains, so quite bright and reflective. I really enjoyed playing in that space.

Lexicon 224. Probably Concert Hall. Not sure if it is Concert Hall A or B - the only difference between the two algorithms is where the damping filter is placed, which affects the initial brightness.eXode wrote:The reverb on the track Soil Festivities Movement 1 by Vangelis. It just feels so open, bright, and "airy" some how. And those are also my why's, because it sounds like soaring away in the distance, dreamy.

This place has an incredible reverb, it just can't be described !!
The place was used as water reservouir to deliver water to the old Copenhagen, but is now open for the public and used for art exhibition.
It can't be seen on the picture but this place is BIG

Not exactly a reverb by itself, but the intelligence and the sense of contrast created by it bypass in this tune from Yes (And you and i, 1972 studio version) :
When Jon Anderson's voice becomes sudently dry at 6'33'', i felt at these times listen to the original 33t record that THIS was an effect in itself, strangely...
All in all i admire what i assume beeing Eddie Offord work of artistic production through the entire album of "Close to the edge" (As well of course, as the amazing work of composer the band has made!)

Space? Did someone say (artificial) space?
The first time I heard this, I was auditioning (home stereo) speakers in the '80s. I ended up not being able to settle for bookshelf speakers, needed something flat that would hake the house on the low notes (=$$$$) so I could hear this in its magnificence. Curse the canny shop owner
PS—Lexicon 224, apparently

Racquetball courts.

No. Wrong. This is, in fact, incorrect.A.M. Gold wrote:Racquetball courts.
I am always amazed at how an empty racquetball court is a perfect illustration of how a rectangular room, with reflective surfaces and no other objects inside of it, sounds HORRIBLE. Most of the good sounding spaces either have non-parallel walls, and/or lots of objects inside of them to scatter the sound around. For the most part, it is hard to find a perfectly rectangular space with nothing inside of it - but clapping into the open doorway of a racquetball court comes pretty close.

That would be at Sunset Sound...I got to mix some of my tunes, many years ago, at Capitol Records, using their awesome chambers...valhallasound wrote:Apparently this is the reverb used on Pet Sounds:

Never tried to play an instrument in one, but my voice inside the one at work always sounded amazing to me. I couldn't believe how much tail there was for a relatively small space. I wasn't implying it would work for a string quartet, etc. though, or any kind of recording space.valhallasound wrote:No. Wrong. This is, in fact, incorrect.A.M. Gold wrote:Racquetball courts.

There can be lots of tail in a small space, but I gather that there is more of the contrary; more raquet than tail
Caption says these guys did however, whoever The Hammer Claw band is. Obviously of the bluegrass/folk variety.

My go-to reverb, CSR Classik Studio Reverb is now available in the T-RackS Custom Shop. And it still sounds just as close to that immensely popular studio reverb from '91 or so. It hasn't changed and hasn't needed to (and neither has the original reverb unit.)
In fact, the only thing that has changed is it's now available as a 64-bit plugin(!), and you can now buy any of the 4 processors in the suite individually for as low as 40 Gear Credits. So we've made truly legendary reverb accessible to anyone. And no dongle required.

Beautiful. Those lush, high string chords that come in near the end and swell up very bright, I've been looking for a synth that can make those kinds of strings all my life, ever since I heard them on a live Orb album. I'm guessing it's a string machine so I should probably already have what I need to make it.eXode wrote:The reverb on the track Soil Festivities Movement 1 by Vangelis.

I love this track in particular. I used it as a chill out track for many years, listening to this in a dark room with headphones right before going to bed. Always felt so calm and at peace after listening to this.
