Vocal Reverb - Bricasti M7 Demo Video

www.soundpure.com/p/bricasti-m...
Bricasti M7 Reverb used to process vocals. They listen to some vocal tracks and demonstrate how amazing reverbs can be acheived easily through the use of several presets on the Bricasti M7. V1 and V2 presets are demonstrated on tracks of singer/songwriter Cassie Taylor and Matt Douglass. The M7 has proven to be the go-to reverb processor of engineers all over the world. The results are astonishing. All of the detail and harmonic content is preserved while added natural reverbs to your track. Check out our series of discussion videos as well as processing videos on the Bricasti M7. If you have any questions about the Bricasti, please give us a call and we would be happy to answer any questions. Call toll free 888-528-9703.

That reverb is amazing I'll definitely keep this in mind when I build a studio! This wowed me no lexicon reverb can match that. -PK

[@iZephyr6]

The best and most natural sounding reverb ever...if I buy some reverb...I’ ll buy a good one like this is...

[@LousyFacelift]

I'm deeply impressed by the rich and natural sound of this unit and I think by now most people realize that the Bricasti is a league of its own. Unfortunately it's out of my price range so I settled for a Yamaha SPX 2000 which I think is brilliant for electronic music, not as natural sounding but dreamy and clean and a good (maybe the best) multi, not a dedicated reverb. Great demo, great performances and the best response to neative criticism I've ever read on KZbin! Good info! Thanks !

[@savanaviolenta]

OMG that sounded heavenly, absolutely amazing sound. Now I understand why music touches me so much especially vocals with added great reverb. That's it, if you want that sound, you gotta pay the price.I think the closest you can get to sound that good is to go to record your stuff in a big hall or nice room with great mic.

[@RealHomeRecording]

Now thanks to Access Analog, the M7 can be accessed by mere mortals for a lot less money!

[@soundpurestudios]

It's certainly the best and most realistic sounding reverb we have ever tested here at Sound Pure. Just about every client that we have sold one to has called back to thank us for making the recommendation! But, yes, it is bare-bones in design, and even at that, it is not cheap - I think that they decided that clean cosmetics would make the focus about the sound, and investing more money into the screen would only further drive up the cost. It is designed to last for decades.

[@fabriceligi8898]

I found the presets in the unit and set them in my favorites to try.

[@MusicCityWorld]

VERY NICE DEMO

[@matnrocknroll]

Thank you very much! It makes sense now! :)

[@soundpurestudios]

@baergal Thanks for the comment... yeah, it really is some magical stuff... perhaps the finest piece of processing equipment that we own in our Studio. It has become one of those boxes that no studio should live without given that it is such a game changer.

[@RAYGproductions]

WOW love it..

[@soundpurestudios]

@RAYGproductions Thanks Ray, more reverb processing through the M7 is coming soon- this thing is insane!

[@elianmusic7452]

Her vocal tone is so. so. unbelievable ..... Wow. Neumann into 3124 is CRAZY. wow ... cant believe how soft and supple it is of course excellent vocalist as well. Bricasti topped it off -- this 2 track performance could be in a studio album and id think its perfectly mixed.

[@troylaw18]

yeah that reberb was amazing..

[@soundpurestudios]

@pastorkev777 PK- thanks. This one is truly incredible- stay tuned for more videos of this one. One thing to keep in mind, is that even in a home or project studio environment with imperfect acoustics, the Bricasti algorithm is actually capable of incorporating the room tone into the reverb so that the output sound is completely natural- it's unlike anything that I've ever heard. What it can do with sounds recording from imperfect rooms, or sounds with reverb already on them is mind blowing

[@soundpurestudios]

@master9716 There are so many different reverbs out there, that this is tough to do. I can tell you that we have had the M7 up against countless reverbs from other manufacturers (since we often use multiple reverbs in a single mix, and only have 1x M7). There is absolutely no comparison, whatsoever. The level of realism, preserved detail, openness, and ability to incorporate any sound we feed it (including sounds with room tone) make the M7 by far the best reverb we've ever encountered.

[@allanyamaha]

awesome..

[@allanyamaha]

@soundpurestudios yeah , it's simply awesome. (:

[@monkeyxx]

Sounds world class. Wow. Jim Williams on a forum says, "There are two kinds of studios. Those that have the Bricasti and those that don't." I guess I can't afford it, but if you want to be cutting edge in the top of the industry, I can see why this is a go-to tool.

[@undergroundjohnny]

LOL - Jim Williams said :)

[@monkeyxx]

I just thought it was a good, salty quote.

[@undergroundjohnny]

Indeed it was and Jim is quite salty. I have read his posts since Gearslutz began in 2002 , so I know what you are saying.

[@TheSmile75]

Would really like to know if this was a Neumann U87 or U87ai for the recordning. Love the Bricast M7! Thanks

[@soundpurestudios]

@Djzikremix It's Cassie Taylor, singing "Lay my Head on your Pillow." If you sort our oldest videos, you can find the entire performance

[@gordonreddy9069]

The most impressive thing here might be the recording! A perfect example of what a U87 does so well.

[@baergal]

Sounds like "mix glue" to me. beautiful stuff.

[@soundpurestudios]

@allanyamaha Thanks for commenting. It might be our favorite and most-used tool in our entire studio.

[@bjjking]

How do connect it so that the output in to the bricasti is not the same as the one going out to the monitors? If I dont turn the stereoout up on my ur824, there is not enough volume going in to the bricasti. But im stuck with mixing very loudly or with headset only

[@soundpurestudios]

@wisconsinwebwriter The unit sounds absolutely breathtaking anywhere you demand a natural sounding reverb (quite honestly, most places), and the new V2 chipset (free upgrade for guys with older units), open the possibilities up that are interested in the Vintage Reverbs, plates, etc. We have often contemplated adding more of these M7's to our studio, and absolutely believe no studio doing serious production work should be without one. One of the most irreplaceable tools in the studio today.

[@soundpurestudios]

Certainly the controller isn't for everyone - fortunately, you don't need a controller to be able to operate a bricasti. The Bricasti M7 has controls on the face of the rack unit. No need for the controller unless you get a bricasti system 1, 2, 3, or 4. Currently, we've just got the M7 in our studio (no controller anymore). It sounds amazing and doesn't take up any real-estate on our desk. If you're in the market for a hardware reverb, the bricasti is the only unit to consider. It's amazing.

[@soundpurestudios]

@BlackSage3 LOL! Thanks for the comment... I can attest to the fact that both of these artists have worked very hard. The bottom line is that the music industry is tougher than ever in certain ways, but at the same time technology makes it possible for the hardest working musicians with talent to make a living despite the changes in the industry. Thanks for commenting, supporting, and watching. You certainly can't please everyone on youtube, but we are trying!

[@DrTom515]

Hi guys..any EQ done on the send or return channel?

[@soundpurestudios]

@iandyha You bet! Please let us know if you have any questions at all about it, we have one parked in our studios here, and have set a lot of other studios up with them. It truly is the best natural sounding reverb that we have ever heard (and we've heard a lot of them!) Thanks for the comment!

[@soundpurestudios]

@matnrocknroll No worries, please do let us know if we can help... we don't just sell gear at Sound Pure, we actually use it in our own production facility so really know how it works, and how best to incorporate it into the studio

[@soundpurestudios]

Appreciate you saying so. Before you purchase your next piece of gear, you should definitely give us a ring. Nothing wrong with the Yamaha for its price tag, but we are always eager to share you our extensive in-studio knowledge, and at the same time offer exceptional pricing on the gear that we sell here at Sound Pure. Please don't hesitate to give us a ring.

[@TheSmile75]

And was it in Omni or Cardio mode? Thanks

[@naminnooman]

So for lead vocals, would you use M to S or True Stereo. When exactly would you use True Stereo, is it while you pan instruments? A video featuring this element would by very helpful.

[@HardcoreJohnny]

So, where can I buy this? At sound pure??? I have really no clue.

[@magick1969]

The microphone U87 Ai is the key to this demo and the Audio Interface, never mind the prestaging of gain, limiters, etc., that Sound Pure Studios has set up which takes an inordinate amouont of time in a home studio without a fully acoustically treated home studio.

[@RealHomeRecording]

To be fair I just tried a vocal that was recorded with a Shure SM7b + Mackie preamp through an M7 and it sounded quite good to my ear!

[@soundpurestudios]

@lenamote We totally know that feeling- we have attempted to recreate what the Bricasti can do with literally every single Reverb plug-in in our arsenal- and that's a ridiculously long list. Sorry, it's not possible. I think that we can say that definitely now!

[@matnrocknroll]

Im a NOOB in hardware reverbs/processors... can you please tell me how many reverbs can i use at the same time with one Bricasti m7 unit? Can i use lets say one for vocals and a different one for drums at the same time? Thank you very much for your time!

[@soundpurestudios]

@SHUR1312 Do you mean the natural acoustics and reverb of that hall? If that's what you are after, this is by far the best reverb processor to achieve that. We'd be glad to discuss exactly what you are trying to accomplish, and how we can best get there, be it microphone/preamp/reverb.

[@NessElDigital]

Amazing can i make this work with a apollo sound card or do i need a console?

[@mostlyharmless88]

there IS such thing as a dumb question. If you had to ask that, then there's no way you need outboard reverb that costs $4000.

[@seeyouinmist3924]

casey is a bag of personality

[@master9716]

I got an AWESOME COmparison test . M7 VS Waves Plgins.

[@soundpurestudios]

@VoyageOne1 The TC4000 is a great natural-sounding space reverb, and honestly, without spending the money on the Bricasti, it may be the best alternative. But, the Bricasti Reverb is truly revolutionary. Everyone here can say confidently this is the best, most-natural sounding reverb we have ever heard. We've even had classical producers that work exclusively in halls be blown away by the Bricasti. Please call us if you ever need anything, we sell most all major brands and are glad to help!

[@soundpurestudios]

@naminnooman I can thnk of very few instances where you would use true stereo as the great majority of sources are indeed mono. There could be times [like say a choir] when true stereo will be representative of what your source material might be. At the end of the day you need to serve your sense of aesthetic as there really are no rules [or even guidelines] for these decisions other than your personal sense of aesthetic.

[@soundpurestudios]

@matnrocknroll No worries, we are here to help- and really at your disposal, if you want to just give us a ring to discuss your studio and precise needs. Like most traditional hardware verbs, this unit is designed to do one stereo reverb at a time (it is not a mutli-channel box), but you can use it to varying degrees across a mix if you setup an aux bus for your verb. So, you could soup up a vocal, and have a much lesser amount on drums, but otherwise use the same actual verb... make sense?

[@soundpurestudios]

"Right", "Perfect".... all accurate in describing the sound of this reverb unit. :D If you'd like to talk more about it or some of the best more budget friendly reverbs we've discovered over the years feel free to give me a ring at the shop anytime or shoot me an email at Travis(at)Soundpure(dot)com. Thanks for watching!

[@Liveoncefool09]

Wow.

[@soundpurestudios]

@dragonlee1bfed Thanks for posting this comment- with the new free Bricasti V2 upgrade software chip, ventures into many of the lexion-like algorithms and beyond... really a nice homage from a couple of ex-lexicon guys. That being said, for natural (space-accurate) reverb, we have not encountered anything that even comes close to the realism of the Bricasti... really appreciate you chiming in on this one. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

[@BlackSage3]

I read all the comments that SuperDaumer left. First of all, any username that starts with "Super", is totally played out. I heard Cassie Taylor and Matt Douglass sing on the demo video. They both sound good, and have alot of potential. I like Cassie's voice, she has a southern bluesy, raspy voice, and I thought Matt's voice was very strong, with a unique character. The best singers don't always necessarily go through all the hard work of recording, performing, or tour at all.

[@xXxAmadeuzxXx]

do u have the bricasti hooked up digitally or analog?

[@the80386]

+AMADEUZ Connected I'd say digital as they mention lynx aurora unit.

[@soundpurestudios]

@james07jamesjames Thanks for saying so. This reverb is truly world-class... we have not experienced anything quite like it. That being said, we help studios of all sizes and budgets achieve their next level of gear. You don't have to have a mint of cash to be working with a Sound Pure expert to help guiding your studio to the next level, whatever your budget might be. We are here to help, and constantly testing gear at a very large range of price points. Give us a call anytime.

[@soundpurestudios]

@Superdaumer The risk you take with youtube is that anyone can say anything, even if they have no legitimate basis. The point of this video isn't the artists, it's the Reverb. That being said there are a lot of people that deeply appreciate the work of these two young artists, so there you go. Are they famous, no. Could they be one day, absolutely. It is a good thing that great artists overcome the harsh words of critics. You are welcome to your opinion, but this video is about REVERB.

[@Jess.x]

What this name song please?

[@soundpurestudios]

@Superdaumer Thanks for the post, from what we could understand you did not like the music. Thank God for the internet and guys like you. Without you, we'd all be left to enjoy great music for what it is. Instead, we can be set straight by a great critic such as yourself can clear up our foolish minds. You must be a hell of a musician yourself- perhaps you will post something for us all so that we can take a "stab" at what we think about it? That would be fun.

[@djproe360]

Oh cool.. reverb.

[@monkeyxx]

LOL

[@YouStreamLive]

Yamaha DSP reverb still unbeatable

[@Bunno1177]

Who is the female singer? Is that song recorded somewhere?

[@JeffEddy98]

Very few songs today use that much vocal reverb. These are nice demo's, but you better think long and hard about how much you use reverb before you buy a Bricasti. And if you buy one, you better get used to spending lots of time doing real time bouncing. Otherwise, you'll still be using plugins for your mixes.

[@gruponemesis]

plug in reverb suck. I use hardware verb as well, a roland srv3030. lol at time bouncing....what a crock you amatuer

[@seanmccullough8893]

lol bro heard lexicon plugs? nobody uses hardware verb anymore.

[@gruponemesis]

Andy McCullough thats because your an amateur ;) leave the pro stuff to the big boys son

[@monkeyxx]

Seriously folks, there are some absolutely top class in the box reverbs these days. A few pro tip examples: Waves Abbey Road Plate, Relab LX480, Altiverb 7 XL, Eventide UltraReverb, Softube TSAR. Just a few examples. You could buy all of them for a fraction of the price of one Bricasti, and I would challenge the listener to hear the difference. Even the engineer. I think in a commercial studio, though, the Bricasti would make a lot of sense.

[@gruponemesis]

Acoustic ia you have no money for hardware amateur. so stop pretending to be what your not. you have no success, nothing you have ever done has made it to radio. your total listerership consist of 66 people on facebook. fucking peasant

[@quillianpiffkitt8284]

why is the remote so expensive

[@Eric_DiRisio]

youtube compression sucks, you really have to listen in 720p

[@dragonlee1bfed]

There is no software to date that can compare to this unit. Now thats out the way. I have all the classic Lex units and although they All are gorgeous and Right for the job, the Bris is equally natural but not as versitile as the Lex 480L. Hard not to compare. The ear seems to accept the Bris immediatley with no issues. I would say the Bris washes the sinlence beautifully, has a very clear mdrange, beautiful, and very easy bottom end.

[@soundpurestudios]

@wisconsinwebwriter In his defense, he obviously hasn't had the pleasure of comparing the two the way that you and all of us here both have. Agreed that there is no comparison, but we certainly don't want to discourage open participation, because it is in our interest to help people at all levels. Perhaps it's why a shootout reverb comparison wouldn't be the worst thing in the world- so that people really could exprience the two worlds of difference in quality and realism.

Hey Guys, Hire me as a user interface consultant . . . no I'll do it for free: Make ProTools plug-in style interface and have it control the rack box. BAMM! Why the hell would I give up valuable desk real estate to a 1970's control box (complete with a fat cable and calculator style readout) that sets basic parameters once for the session?? It's not like I'm riding the levels and need it close at hand.

[@SkyFelixMusic]

Stephane Morin I've heard it in studios many times. It's one of the best reverbs ever made in the modern day era (excluding Lexicon)

[@whitebuffalo4904]

@@SkyFelixMusic I know this is an old comment, and you might not even frequent KZbin anymore, but could you expound on your comment? Are you saying that Lexicon's which cost significantly less are on par, if not better than the Bricasti? I'm looking to get a nice studio reverb and have been considering the M7, however, if I can get something as good (or better) for less, I'm all for it.

[@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

White Buffalo I personally have never been in love with Lexicons, idk why.. maybe cause I’m younger and the studios I worked at didn’t have lexicons. Not saying it’s bad by any means. If you can afford a Lexicon, get one. But man, that Bricasti is unreal.

Just tell me what I need to do to get my speaker system to sound like this: /watch?v=S2sN7x3LdXc

[@soundpurestudios]

Sonically - it buries both. In terms of the sheer number of things you can do with it, you would need to add a few more engines to the Bricasti system as well as an external controller. If you require the best sonics from a digital reverb, the the M-7 is your system... if you require flexibility and sonics, then you'll require a Bricasti Design System 1,2,3 or 4 [more engines w/ external remote] If you want flexibility without the sonics... then the 960L or System 6000 should get you through.

[@soundpurestudios]

@Superdaumer Well, thank god for those people that actually support young artists in their growth... from what your brilliant statement is suggesting, they "shouldn't even bother." What a horrible counter-inspirational way to live. There are people that can't seem to get themselves out of the dark-side of negativity where they live, perhaps you are just having a bad day. But, to make these kinds of comments about promising young artists is not only disappointing to see, but actually a bit sad

[@lenamote]

Does someone now how to do this effect on audacity? =P Seriously im trying to emulate this on audacity for weeks! lol

[@joshbeadle6955]

I'm not buying that excuse. At this price range it's not either / or - it's both. How about just using an iPad for the UI? I'm in the market for one of these but feel that this 70's calculator style (TI or Bomar Brain) interface is going to be updated real soon so I'm looking elsewhere.
