Revelation · 5th January 2005

Plates bring to my mind the Beach Boys, and a lot of recordings done in the 80's. We have such a natural sound in recordings these days, that I just don't use them. Not that they can't be used, and I know many use them for many situations, but I get so many great reverb sounds with other settings in my SIR Lex Waves reverbs, plus my Dreamverb UAD reverb when I don't want the reverb to be as smooth sounding.
