Waves StudioRack 14 Now Hosts Any VST3!

This is really great - it's fully modular too. Here's hoping they'll add MultiMod Rack's modulation-capabilites as well - that would be absolutely fantastic.

[chagzuki]

So this allows for using VST3 plugins in Logic? I don't know if there's any particular benefit to that, but it's a curiosity.

I've been waiting on something like this. I'm hoping it also does AU.

It doesn't look like it does. VST3 *only* from what I can see.

Yeah, damn. I discovered that too. Still, 3rd part support, the that's a great thing just on its own.

Now to convince them to throw in some modulation features.

[jens]

If they do that would make it the best of the best plugin chainers imo. This thing is ridiculously modular.

D/l StudioRack today since it's free. Works like a charm and is exactly the device I was looking for to add reverb to snares, toms and cymbals in drum loops while leaving the kick dry.

Huh

[jens]

Yeah, I don't get it either....

I can, for instance, load up a 4-bar drum sample that contains kick, snare, high hats, percussion, etc. Typically, I add them to songs here and there for flavor. They're usually dry with no effects. I've often wondered what it would be like to add reverb just to the snare and cymbals while leaving the kick dry. With StudioRack's multiband split, I use a crossover of around 5Khz between two channels and add reverb just to the frequencies above 5Khz.
Even better, I can use three or more bands and taper the reverbs, so the higher frequencies get more effect than those closer to 5Khz.

And you couldn’t do that without the studio rack? Can you not just eq the reverb on a send?

I don't want any reverb on the drum loop below 5Khz. What do you mean, though?

[ramseysounds]

Put a reverb on a send and set to 100% wet. Put an eq after the reverb (or use the built in one, if it has one). Send the reverb to your drum loop, adjusting to taste. Hi pass / low cut the reverb at 5khz. You’ll have no reverb below 5khz. Your kick will remain without reverb. Google the abbey road reverb trick also

Thanks for the tip. I found a free reverb with a frequency input filter, Stone Voices DReverb. Much cheaper than the other one I found, Exponential Audio Symphony.

Probably better to put the high pass before the reverb on that send. Either way, unless your kick does not have any transient information above 5k it will still be affected by the reverb. It’s just that the bass frequencies won’t be affected. But most reverbs have built in HP and LP filters anyway.

I've noticed that most reverbs have built-in HP and LP filters. What I wonder is are those filters affecting the reverb itself or the frequencies coming into the reverb. To wit: Neoverb has a pre EQ akin to Stone Voices' DReverb or Exponential Audio's Symphony, and also has a reverb eq.

Depending on the plugin. In R4 for example, you can adjust what's coming INTO a reverb, then EQ the reverb itself, even early reflections individually. But you can always use reverb on a send and just put an eq/filter before or after the reverb, depending on what do you want to achieve.
