I *ALMOST* bought the hardware for this!

[@IntheDAW]

what I found crazy is that it sounded nothing like the UAD emulation of the same reverb. BUT I really loved glow. to me the added functions made it so much more colorful and pleasing.

[@musicsoulcreation]

What an amazing plugin. Lots of fun playing around with this.

[@b-lash]

Damn, you got me again Dom. Watching your Videos is becoming an expensive Hobby...

[@basspartout]

Excellent demo of a really nice plugin. And as Guy Michelmore put it a while ago: a good reverb is a very good investment, because reverb is something that you will be using on a daily basis for the rest of your life!!

[@DomSigalas]

And Guy is right ❤️

[@thomasgreer467]

Excellent. I started my studio career in the mid 80s and love seeing this type of product hit the market. I wonder if an emulation of the Publison Infernal Machine 90 will ever be made.😉 I really enjoy your reviews and can pretty much choose any new purchase based on how big your smile is while listening. 👍Thank you, Dom.

[@MorenoJ1973]

It convinced me to buy this plugin. I like how close it sounds to the hardware.

[@MPHORROCKS]

Love their Pulse reverb and adore this one even more! Always wanted an AMS, but never wanted to get into the UA ecosphere. Well done Wave Alchemy!!!

[@DarrellSt.Blaine]

I have the UAD plugin but don't use it often because the UI is terrible. This plugin sounds great, is easy to use and the additional functionality makes it much more flexible than the UAD. Thanks for discount code! 👍

[@DarrellSt.Blaine]

Just a follow up: after buying this I used it all day and decided to add it to my general mixing template. It really compliments Valhalla Vintage Verb and the LX480 which have both been in my template for years.

[@NikolausBrocke]

@@DarrellSt.Blaine Very interesting. How does it compare to valhalla vintage verb?

[@DarrellSt.Blaine]

@@NikolausBrocke funny that you ask. VVV has been in my mix template for a very long time and Glow now sits right next to it. They are very different beasts of course. VVV is far more flexible and has a more granular approach to tone shaping. Glow does it's own unique thing and honestly I would love if Sean over at Valhalla would put a dedicated gate and ducker on each of his reverb plugins. These two features are super useful whether you're going for an 80's sound or just trying to craft a spacious sound stage that doesn't get congested.

[@NikolausBrocke]

@@DarrellSt.Blaine Thanks for your answer. I have so many reverbs. But I am tempted to buy glow :-) Btw. Epic from Waves also uses AMS reverb. As an algorythmic reverb I am convinced by exponential audio and acon verberate. The latter was a winner in my personal shootout. I also wanted to buy valhalla. Everyone uses it and it sounds really good.

[@jayemakebeats]

This reverb has been a great purchase and a lower price alternative to the UAD AMS RMX16....great presentation!!!!!!

[@JasonOfTGA]

Hmmm, those ducking and smoothing features might save me a lot of sidechaining in EQs and compressors. Might have to grab this one, Thanks Dom.

[@DomSigalas]

Yup. And on top of that the algos sound sublime. :)

[@MarvelJAM]

Another awesome video. I have the Universal Audio plugin emulation of this reverb. I was so glad to find they have competition. Both are excellent. This one comes with some extras. UAD plugin offers nine rare additional, custom programs (algorithms) , giving you double the sonic possibilities of the original AMS RMX16 plug-in

[@aleksamrkela831]

This plugin blows the UAD and VerbSuite RMX16 out of the water. Such an iconic sound, and this plugin does it justice and more.

[@DomSigalas]

It has some really cool tricks up its sleeve- even if you've never used the RMX16 this sound is really special .

[@Drfresh1402]

Dom do you agree that it sounds better than UAD’s? To my ears it does but I can’t tell if it’s because of new plugin syndrome.

[@defrigge]

I do not hear it "blowing the UAD version out of the water" at all. Both sound great IMO. But the functionality is really useful.

[@DomSigalas]

@@Drfresh1402 I have to be 100% honest. Since support for Powercore was dropped I’ve been avoiding using any DSP powered plugins in my studio. So I haven’t heard the UAD one apart from using it a couple of times in another studio. I am very familiar with the original and the 500 series sound. But I would say that the extra functionality and the fact that the plug-in is native (also the price!) is a reason enough to consider it.

[@alexfont]

I think in 2023 DSP plug-ins are totally “out of dates”. I hope UAD can make all their plug-ins available without the DSP stuff, they are loosing so many costumers.

[@GeoffModulate]

Tried the demo. It sounds outstanding.

[@davidd5403]

Bought and tested it, instand 80‘s on my drums. Nice plugin

[@Drfresh1402]

I was mixing a track 3 days ago. Decided to compare UAD and this on the electronic drums in the track. This was the clear winner. Idk if it’s me but UADs sounds less detailed.

[@mando3022]

Good review, thanks Dom! Like how you do the comparisons, seamless A/B-ing and the very musical adjustments.

[@ajproductionsmusic]

I used the original AMS back in the day. It was a little tricky to program...AMS ADT was a huge popular feature. Great on drums and vocals. I will look into this plugin for sure. My 500 rack is full.

[@thomasgreer467]

Just bought it last week. I’m older so I stared right as the EMT 250, Lex 224, AMS and Publison were coming out so that is what i know. This emulation is SO good and makes me very happy.

[@eLpasoRec]

Considering that the UAD version is around 8 times the price, buying this is a no-brainer. Thanks for the discount, Dom… it’s now 9 times cheaper!

[@saloliveriproducer]

Great video w/ excellent examples of what the plug can do.

[@stansteez]

I've seen a documentary with dre's engineer in the studio where the recorded a lot of the Death Row and Aftermath stuff. And they had the AMS RMX16 in the rack and I actually saw it was on in a recording session with 2pac. So I just looked for Impulse Responses and oh boy, ifyou want that iconic 90s hip hop reverb the AMS RMX16 is it. Don't know about glow though. It doesn't sound bad but it doesn't sound authetntic compared to the IR's I have.

[@st.thomas5802]

Is that video available on KZbin?

[@_mickmccarthy]

Told myself I wasn't going to be buying any more plugins this year. That lasted almost a month... It does sound wonderful though, and I can already tell I'm going to be overusing it on everything from this point! Feel bad for my Crystalline which may be getting sidelined for a while!

[@DomSigalas]

Hey Mick! Hahaha I know right? The good news is it sounds wildly different to Crystalline !

[@_mickmccarthy]

@@DomSigalas Very true! Crystalline is an excellent all-rounder. Good to see features like duckers & gates almost being standard on modern reverb plugins too. Especially in this case when it's emulating old hardware, nice that they added some modern conveniences.

[@cl9826]

I know... Another reverb no less... F. I'm only buying it bc it's a bonifide RMX16. Not just a pretty face.

[@mrdali67]

I know your friend Dr. Mix is more the "recreate it" type, but I would love to see how to recreate the effect used for the bass solo on Paul Simons hit "You can call me Al". That always impressed my how they did that 😀 Sounds like a reverse gate that just hit some of the notes 😉

[@pascalschwaller7573]

Thank you very much for that great Video and insights!

[@mrdali67]

When you think of that this at its introduction price cost a mere 25x'th of the UA RMX16 Hardware, this sound extremely close to at least the remake version. Really nice plugin. Espen Kraft beat you to it and showed default settings on the remake hardware and the Glow, and imo the tail of the Glow is almost identical to it, just a slight more mellow in the high end, and without ever using this as it would have been way out of my normal budget back in the 80's, even the remake would 😄, thiss plugin is pretty darn impressive.

You're going to love it then. You can get to some really iconic sounds effortlessly!

[@bontempo1271]

How does it compare to the Townhouse RMX impulses ?

@@bontempo1271 I have to be honest, I haven’t tried those. But this is fully customisable so it gives you the experience of using an actual reverb :)

[@bontempo1271]

@@DomSigalas Yes the features are great, especially Smoothing. I have just heard a comparison between the 500 series and this plugin, it's slightly different but the plugin actually sounds tighter timing wise (the overall envelope of the verb and the delay sounds themselves). The 500 series is real close to the original, just slightly colder sounding at times.

Yes, This Plug-In I feel sounds real good ...maybe better than UAD because of extra features. ( The Ducking is like Side Chaining it to Audio Track w/ COMPRESSOR ) The original is that much better but for what i'm using it for ( COVER's on 80's Songs Like Phil Collins as a Hobby, I think this will work ) Thank you for making this Video!

[@yams900]

I haven't done any mixing before, but I'm keen to learn ! I've got Cubase Pro 12, I guess this plugin would be a nice addition. Haven't bought any plugins for mixing/mastering before, so this would be my first one. Question is, do I need or want it ? :) It sounds really good ! In my case, I'd use it for vocals and Groove Agent mainly. Thx for sharing, much appreciated.

[@DomSigalas]

Hey Ronnie, I would say learn the reverbs that exsist in Cubase 12 Pro first - at the same time, this reverb has a very distinct sound that would be very hard to get in a stock DAW reverb (not just Cubase). If you want an 80's type of reverb then it's a very affordable option and will give you the results without breaking a sweat. Try the demo and listen through your own materia :)

Hi Dom, would you share your presets for this reverb?

[@f.herumusu8341]

The funny thing is: Your ears are so sensible to what your used to hear when you were young. I'm a child of the 80ies. The real 80ies, not that "808 kick drum fake retro 80ies" (BTW: It was Linn at these times!). So when todays producers praise the "crunchy sound" of a plugin my thoughts are "Uhhh ... that's badly and unpleasently distorted!". But at 16:34, when you demonstrate the "smooth" slider, I hear exactly the opposite: A good "crunchy" 80ies drum sound gets degraded to a boring "smooth" sound. Bought the plugin, always wanted the "nonlinear" preset.

[@DomSigalas]

I am totally with you! I don’t think the smooth slider is panacea, it’s just an extra layer of control if you’re looking for a cleaner sound making the tool more versatile :)

[@f.herumusu8341]

[@ghiverlet]

Hi dom, I have a question. Why is the vocal track in stereo (the one at the beginning of the video) ? Did you do a stereo recording, or was it just because the plugin only works in stereo? or what else? Sub-question: In a mix, is there any point in switching the voice tracks to stereo even though the recording is in mono? Thanks a lot and very nice 80's style reverb.

[@DomSigalas]

The track just happened to be stereo :) the reverb works both in mono and stereo. In actual fact, in real world scenarios I would use it as a send effect for most of the part (like I did with the drums example). Yes, sometimes there is a reason and that is if you want to add stereo effects on a mono track. Imagine a mono electric guitar recording where you want to add a stereo chorus as an insert. In this case you either turn the channel to stereo or send it to a stereo group bus :)

[@ghiverlet]

@@DomSigalas Thank you for your answer Dom, The example of the guitar chorus speaks to me a lot. I have been working with cubase for a long time (cubase VST5 actually!). And in the past I often made mistakes by placing mono effects on stereo tracks or by thinking that it was enough to put a stereo effect on a mono track to convert it (a bit like in pro tools). The track conversion tool is obviously the way to go. Good music to all.
