NEW: Waves Abbey Road Chambers

[Aloysius]

Update: Sorted.

Before you moved your track: Nice track Harry_HH.

I bought the wup deal (see above). Waves Support tell me I can't use it to renew my wup. Bloomin' 'eck. What is wrong with these people? I've asked them for a step-by-step guide on how to apply the coupon as I can't make much sense out of their website. If anybody else knows how, please let me know.

Nice track Harry_HH.

Thank you, you were really quick... I moved the track to the Music Cafe.

I was ready to buy this and downloaded the trial right away. I must say, I'm a bit underwhelmed. The STEED feature is kind of cool, but I have several great reverb plugins that sound fantastic and use much less CPU. I think I can get closer to the classic "chamber" sound with Valhalla Plate or Seventh Heaven Professional (which also has a delay in the feedback path).

I'll keep playing with it though.

Bought it more for the Steed delay unit rather than the reverb section but that bit is nice sounding too - That along with the different mic, speaker and room type is definitely worth the $29 (though I'd never pick it up full price!)

Anyone know how to merge the waveshells - I've now got three of the buggers: Waveshell v9 (hosts all my v9 stuff), Waveshell v10 (hosting almost all my v10) and Waveshell2 v10 (just hosting this plugin). I'm guessing v9 and 10 have to be separate but I've no idea why I have 2x v10 waveshells - Tried deleting them both and reinstalling, but get the same 2 Waveshell 10s again !

Was wondering about the 2 v10 waveshells. Seems a bit odd

For now, this is the way it is. You are confirming the installation results.

See here:

For now, you can't consolidate. This is similar to what happened to V9.

That is all.

I do quite like the STEED feature as well. I'm liking how you can use it independently of the Chamber too.

Valhalla & Seventh Heaven do make quite spectacular sounding reverbs. They certainly have their strengths, they even might sit in your mixes much more easily upfront. Certainly much more ideal.

The Abbey Roads reverbs are something very different. They are much more dense sounding and old school vibe. Much like the real thing you have to work a bit harder to get it to sit in the mix, but that's exactly what old school engineers had to go through. They weren't point for choose unlike us.

I'd say they more compliment our more modern reverb designs than replace them. You don't have to be going after a Beatles or a Stones sound, I'm certainly not much of a fan. Any time you want an old school sound or that studio session sound, or even a more roots type of sound, I'd go more for the Abbey Road plugins personally. That's partly where they shine and can compliment our other reverbs.

They need to learn from Izotope, who updated the last MPS considering a "grace period" for who bought it in the last months bofore the new version was released.

Hell yeah!! Even if it's not as sonically refined, it more about creating an atmosphere, a vibe that can put you in a more inspiring place.
