Transatlantic from rare signals seems to be a solid plate plugin.... if I see It on sale I will catch it! but my go to is the EMT-140 from UAD!

[@nantschev]

Love the Transatlantic

[@cfs]

It's horrible in terms of CPU usage, esp. @ 96khz (I end up using Audiogridder to offload it), but it sounds AMAZING - just a tiny bit applied can add a 3d depth missing from just about every other reverb vst I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot, and have quite a few. Definitely best used as a send effect. The Arturia one is good, too. And Little Plate I like layered in with others (I don't like it as much on its own).

I personally really like the valhalla plate the most. It's the most versatile plate reverb on the market, and for 50usd it is also pretty affordable. I love using it on guitar and vocals, it has a really nice spacious sound! It might not be the most realistic one, but it definately has an amazing sound!

I think this format is extremely important. I've never seen posts like this on KZbin, comparing multiple plug-ins with real hardware.

[@whawha9016]

I wouldn't go with a mechanical plate for 80s sound. They are associated with 60s and 70s records. I would go with an algorithmic reverb. Particularly one of the Lexicon programs or the QRS (Quantec).

I recently got the Arturia free with my Landr subscription, it's really impressive. The Rev X that I get with Steinberg is also fantastic.

@@boimesa8190 The sound of a plate reverb is often preferred because of it's diffusion and density over other types. If you want the most diffuse and dense reverb possible, this is how to create it.

[@poulwinther]

I know this was years ago but maybe it's time for an update? I use plate on lead guitar and tried all the free demos I could find. Listening to your test, I find that none of them have the deep density of your EMT, and that was exactly why I turned down most of those I demoed. To my own surprise SoundToys Little Plate was really superior to everything else. It truly sounds like a plate - and even has the cool infinity setting. I since upgraded to the new Super Plate with more features but sound quality-wise they are equal.

[@nrosko]

Little plate, rare signal & UVI should be included IMO. Those are my go-to plate reverbs.

[@davidvalens3337]

[@mentalprogram5256]

My go to is Slate Digital - VerbSuite Classics - Drums - Wide Snare Plate. I just dial the gain and Dry / Wet way down and adjust Decay and EQ and its all good.

I've bought the perfect plate a while ago, not giving it a good enough testing (it was on sale). That drop off gets quite bad with certain instruments. It doesn't just fade fast, but smoothly: it fades step-wise. Higher frequency ranges just get turned off from high to low like someone is flipping switches. That algorithm of theirs is strange. It works better as a creative effect reverb than natural reverb imo, which is does well with all its extra functions.

[@alfberger3150]

One of my most vivid memories from peoples high school was when our mix/master-enginer/teacher played us two songs and asked us what we heard. Some said the snare sounded fatter in the second one, it sounded more compressed or mastered, the whole mix sounded more polished and objectively better if you asked anyone in that classroom. After listening a couple of times, without being able to come to a conclusion we all agreed with, the teacher told us the only difference between the audioclips were a couple of db's in volume. There were more than a couple of db's in level difference when you first compared these plugins and that makes it really hard to accurately hear the difference in tone the different plugins have.. also would like shorter more effective videos, more of what you would expect in a good video with the title you give it, and less opinions on things that aren't revolutionary or useful information.

The Sunset Sound Reverb is my go-to Reverb.

Tweakability is great and intuitive + there are more options "hidden" when you click on "options" under the pictures of the reverbs (like room-dampening and different positions/settings).

[@sweeterthananything]

this was a lot of work, great job. as for feedback, i like this format but it's probably worthwhile to sometimes do it with a smaller selection in a little more detail, possibly with part 1 part 2 etc videos to shootout another group. and then there would be the option to ultimately shoot out the favorites from all of those previous groups. i understand the efficiency of using a snare, but a brief selection of other material (including human voice i hope) would probably be worthwhile.

Soundtoys Little Plate is also a great plugin. I'm so happy with it that I don't really feel the need to get another plate for a long time.

You should check physical audio Dynamic Plate Reverb - physically modelled plate, it’s the real deal. No impulses, real mathematical modelling of physical plate vibrations

[@J-DUB-F1]

Yours is fairly dark compared to all of them. It's taken many years for me to enjoy digital plate verbs. The only one I have out of these is the Arturia. I've played with the Abby Road on a friend's system. The Arturia sounds very nice and usable in any context.... and it's simple(my preference 😏 ). It's my main go to voc verb. The Abby Road also sounds very nice in context of a track. Valhalla is a great sounding verb period, but not my choice for pure plate duty. Could you do a saturation shoot out, please 😊🙏

[@kniferideaudio]

The decays on a real plate are so irregular across the frequency range. it is what gives them such a great character. The imperfections are the charm. Digital versions using algorithmic decays fail to be as "broken" or imperfect as real plates, and it kills the vibe. Same goes for rooms. The only hardware reverb I've heard that actually sounded like a real room was some Sony unit that was like $10,000.
