Inside Abbey Road Studios’ Legendary Reverb Plate Room

[@adambarker9493]

STOP THE PRESSES! An engineer who admits he can't hear the difference between the real thing and the plugins, it's a miracle (or a fat cheque but we live in hope).

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

I'd always assumed that the reverb on records made at AR were the natural reverbrations of the studio room itself, not some metal plates stuck in the cellar somewhere. And things like Lennon's voice on A Day In The Life some sort of tape delay, not the STEED, which is a combination of tape delay and the chamber of secrets.

This is a very nice interview about the diferences between them even if u can't notice those on the plugin, they all sound quite the same in a way that you don't get much those super different vibes mentioned.

[@immrnoidall]

came here after watching franslab. very cool girl.

[@TrevorTheTechnicianMckenzie]

Excellent presentation... Trev

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

There is great plate reverb on Jeff Beck's 'Truth' album with Rod Stewart! I don't know where that album was recorded?

[@mbobev]

I can always tell the difference between a real gear and plugin. Plugins for 75% are really good for what they do, but they lack the punch and the fat old sound. Nothing can beat the real tube and transformers sound, picked from the right microphone and reproduced by the proper speaker.

[@Atem_S.]

Love it!

[@daleockermanproject4891]

Interesting... but- Isnt it best to LISTEN to an effect, rather than talk? Are they EMT plates? Love my ADT, but no one buys what they cant hear.

[@Twelve50TV]

"Plate D. The old valve Jobby"

[@douro20]

I wonder if they're getting tubes custom made for the thing?

[@allaudione]

just wondering if you have mixed spring and plate together and then eq-ed it

[@porscha901]

you forgot that there was a band before the Beatles. the SHADOWS and Cliff Richard

[@briangibson4726]

And their reverb was an ECHO CHAMBER!

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Absolutely!

[@jonioden6323]

when I saw this at first I thought it was Phil Collins in the picture. I don't really care if it's been uploaded once or twice or a hundred times. what's the value in complaining about it? no, truly...are/were you expecting something different this time? I'm just wondering. am I missing something because it's been uploaded several times?

[@alexnazmo7915]

Serious lack of hot wings in this episode..

[@lamontdavis7014]

Love this Reverb..Q!!

[@AaronOwenSmith]

good bit of history there, but what about Spring Reverb Waves?

[@алексейпетров-ф2р]

Вот это крутяк !!!

[@rolfamundsen230]

Isn't this the third time this video has been uploaded? What's going on?

[@jasonjasonjasonjasonjason]

I was about to say the same thing! Am I weird for my opinion on their plugins changing after realizing this? An easy comparison is how Steven Slate literally replies to comments on his youtube channel.

[@NeilMcGrath]

lmfao

[@sevchyk]

Why does such big budget studio look like a homeless horde's house after shelling?

[@A_Smith.]

Abbey Road plate reverb pedal anyone?

[@DuroSamples]

I was waiting for a taste of the reverb... it never happened. But seriously Waves, I have no interest in sounding like nor wanting to have this reverb...

[@DuroSamples]

NO boss don't like the Beatles... 3 musical references that are irrelevant to me... (i'm not young either) Remember I said " I " don't want it.. Plus don't want to sound like the Beatles either... No way :) Cheers

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

When I heard them in other videos I thought it sounded great. Also, using artists as arguments or reasoning to use a product doesn't make sense at all. Maybe if it can make one specific isolated effect sound JUST like their effect, but in general you'll never get the same sound because it was made with extremely different technology and completely different settings. Besides, I think if you go back as far as "The Beatles" and such, you're getting into garbage lo-fi territory. Sound didn't start actually becoming good until like the late '70s, for anything. Original recordings and tapes might be salvageable to then clean up and remaster, but god were sounds before the late '70s boxy, dry, and harsh. It's no wonder they needed to throw reverb-plates at it to mask all the noise. But digital re-creations like these are great for NEW music and as effects as well. - It's for creativity, not to replicate old-ass recordings that are overrated just because people got excited about the music. Then you're not trying to make more new music but just fanboying over a sound that you can never re-create ever again, because it was recorded back in time about half a century ago in a situation and setting that doesn't exist anymore. - It's something that happened between the members of those bands and the engineers, and that's the magic of it. - Enjoy those recordings, but saying "They used these technologies/devices/etc."... That's great for them, but it won't magically give the same results.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Nice catchphrase; "Put your sound into a new space that doesn't exist."

[@josephbrown7555]

Come on guys, im still learning Garage Band.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Chin

[@orbithesun1]

Blah, blah, blah... Just another fast food commercial. lol

[@henrikhansson1]

Whyyyyyy? Stop uploading the same thing three times, and several months after the first time...!

[@HatredPrime]

His ball on chin is so distracting

[@kevinmalone8903]

HatredPrime I was going to ask"what's up with that !"

[@RjBenjamin353]

HatredPrime Yes, that’s the hazards of working with plate reverb
