Relab lx480 essentials

Relab LX480 Essentials not only faithfully captures the sound of the classic reverb hardware, but makes getting that legendary sound faster and easier than ever before. Transform tracks with the rich complex textures, and lush spacious reverb tails that only the Relab LX480 can deliver.THE LEGENDARY REVERB USED ON COUNTLESSCLASSIC SONGS AND FILMS…For the Relab LX480 Essentials, we modelled one of the very best of the 480s* ever – a true meticulously maintained “golden unit”Relab was lucky enough to acquire one of the original 480s* from the Hit Factory in New York when they closed their doors.You can’t even begin to imagine the list of mixes on which this unit was used!This studio was home to sessions by Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, U2, Michael Jackson… The list is endless.It doesn’t get much more perfect or “golden” than that!And with the Relab LX480 Essentials you can now get that very same legendary reverb sound – natively in your DAW.Uses The Exact Same Sample-Accurate AlgorithmsAs Our Dual-Engine VersionBased on FOUR of Relab’s best-in-class reverb algorithm emulations of one of the most widely-used algorithmic reverbs ever built, you can now transform your tracks with the rich complex textures, and lush spacious reverb tails that only the Relab LX480 can deliver.Fat PlateWhat the 480 was famous for – lush, rich, shiny plates without any mix clutter. Designed to emulate the sounds of metal plates, with a relatively bright, colored sound. Great for vocals and percussion.Medium HallOne of the most traditional reverb sounds, this classic favourite was designed to emulate a real medium-sized hall. Great for giving tracks a sense of belonging to the same space with a smooth and even decay.Small AmbienceDesigned to become a part of the direct sound, the ambience algorithm is very effective in adding distance to a very dry sounding track. Great for really short drum rooms, and for an impression that is more felt than heard.Large Wood RoomDesigned to emulate coloured sounding spaces, the room is typically less noticeable than a Hall. This algorithm can be effectively used to create the sense of space, without being overtly distinguishable.

IR's, I still end up using IK Multimedia's Classik Reverb plate and room on most of my mixes(pop/rock/country). My 2 cents; if neither is a clear winner for you, buy the one that fits your budget 02-09-2021, 03:49 PM Moderator Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Stockholm - Sweden Posts: 13,768 Re: Relab LX480 and Seventh Heaven Are you asking about Hardware or plugins? ... __________________ Best RegardsChristopher#thestruggleisreal—————————————South Side Music GroupWEBHOME————————————— 02-09-2021, 03:57 PM Moderator Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Tampere, Finland Posts: 25,255 Re: Relab LX480 and Seventh Heaven Quote: Originally Posted by Southsidemusic Are you asking about Hardware or plugins? ...

If its hardware, the Bricasti M7 is damn near unbeatable 02-09-2021, 04:35 PM Member Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Saskatoon, SK, Canada Posts: 1,017 Re: Relab LX480 and Seventh Heaven Quote: Originally Posted by Southsidemusic Are you asking about Hardware or plugins? ...

I understand it) by ex-Lexicon people and most seem to rate the Bricasti as the best reverb ever(I actually have a batch of Bricasti IR's that I use in Avid Space). I did not know this... I wonder if that's why these 2 kinda stick out for me... being that the same people had something to do with them...

Glad I'm not spending thousands of $$$ any longer on code to be run in 19"

I kinda grew up liking the Lexicon reverbs and wonder if that is swaying me towards the Relab - which can be good and not so good...Thanks,Sparky 02-09-2021, 01:57 PM Member Join Date: May 2004 Location: Norwich, CT Posts: 39,619 Re: Relab LX480 and Seventh Heaven Just to confuse your brain a bit more, see if you can demo the Slate Verbsuite Classics. That offers both Lexicon and Bricasti sounds. In all honesty, having used most every reverb(except AltiVerb), either of the 2 you mention are quite capable(as is the Slate and many others). The Bricasti was built(as I understand it) by ex-Lexicon people and most seem to rate the Bricasti as the best reverb ever(I actually have a batch of Bricasti IR's that I use in Avid Space). But, despite have the Slate and the Bricasti
