Which is your fav plate reverb in 2023?

[Aleksey Vaneev]

Your “problem“ is simply that you don't use photo realistic GUIs of convincingly vintage looking gear which was used on Michael Jackson's Thriller…

And please… don't do it… ever!

If it was that simple. It's in fact a cancel culture-class phenomenon.

If you had vintage GUIs with rust oozing out of screw holes, all the kiddie producers would salivate all over them.

I have UAD EMT 140, Little Plate, Rev Plate-140 to name a few, along with other plugs that have “plate” emulations and the one thing I’ve noticed is depending on the audio I’m sending them, each one isn’t great on absolutely everything. Lately I’ve been like Seventh Heaven for plates. My two cents.

[derschönekarsten]

For me it's Perfect Plate XL (for vintage-y sounds) and Lustrous Plates (for "cinematic" sounds).

Shoutouts to Little Plate, but I always wish there was a more in-depth version. Transatlantic Plate sounds great as well, but has been very unstable for me on M1.

You need a catchy slogan for your (magnificent) plugs. here's one :

In the Box-n-Go

[Agreed]

I still think GlissEQ is the best EQ, slogan or not, and the GUI works really well. Aleksey I appreciate your work.

[Aleksey Vaneev]

Thanks. It's just a bit funny when you have a sizeable sales, and youtube or press is basically silent, and at the same time SPAN reviews received millions of views over time. Something does not add up in this virtual Internet world.

OldSkoolVerb is better than most, but the HiCut needs some tweaking. As I'm its author, no arguing on my side. Voxengo is not in the rooster of most youtubers...

Youtubers, meh.

CRTIV Reverb is amazing but I admit I have not really experimented with OldSkoolVerb much. Maybe I should. I thought it was a spring reverb or some kind of vintage digital Alesis emu or something? Also, no need to pretend you're the underdog... you have many Voxengo fans here.

And as for GUIs... Voxengo GUI's allow more customization than any other. That makes your GUI's the best.

[MogwaiBoy]

Lustrous Plates, no contest.

That's interesting.

The Transatlantic Plate, IKM Sunset and Acustica SIlver B are probably more "realistic" but there's just something about it. I particularly love it on drums and bass. The whole 'true stereo' thing makes it sound so lively.

It's not a spring reverb. It's not a "lame" reverb, but it is fairly simple, close to the "first generation of digital reverbs", e.g. it does not have modulation, no FDN components. Its "plate" sound is quite good IMO (at lower "Space" and "HiCut" settings); with "plate" sound itself being "old school" as well.

..Underdog? No, I do not feel like that, but some things do not add up big time.

It's all fancy GUIs and huge marketing budgets - you know... savvy well-produced videos, celebrity endorsements, fulltime interns working on social media channels, etc.

There will always be those of us who value sound before looks - and for sound quality nothing beats Voxengo.

Next time I'm reaching for a reverb I'm going OldSkool - give it a try

I think its dynamic section is one of the most fun to work with among all EQs, it works like a charm. TDR is great, but requires a bit more effort.

Dear Lord, I need one of those.

[Aleksey Vaneev]

It's not exactly transparent whether or not "celebrity endorsements" are paid, if you see a person's photo or even just a name in a standard advertisement block. To me, it's not exactly comforting to be someone's "raw" promoter, paid or not.

[Aleksey Vaneev]

Producer's website endorsements/featured artists is another thing. On the Voxengo website, almost all artists are actual customers with a known "billing" name. (but not all, admittedly, but I'm not seeing a problem giving a NFR in exchange, as I do give NFRs for various promotional reasons anyway, to magazines, for example)
