Using the Plate Reverb...
The undamped Decay time of traditional large plate reverbs is about 5
seconds� Large baffles were positioned close to the plate to damp the
vibrations for shorter reverbs as required� Try short decays around 1�5
seconds with lower Mix values to add some subtle ambience to dry tracks�
Long decay times can go beyond physical limitations to create clear
ambient pads of reverb�
Plate reverbs were routinely run through a post EQ to tailor the low end to
sit properly in the mix, and to reduce less pleasant high frequency ringing�
The Low End parameter’s wide range is voiced for maximum flexibility,
while the Tone knob adjusts the high end from unfiltered full-bandwidth
(max) to warm (noon) to dark and damped (min)�
Add some Modulation to inject a subtle sense of movement and increased
dimension to the reverb�
