Eventide Audio

The 80s Session Guitar Kings
S
5:17ShadHOST
And I've done an episode all about the Super Strat just recently, so if you haven't heard that one, make sure and go back and check it out.
S
5:25ShadHOST
Mesa Boogie, modified Marshalls, and Fender amps were common, while rack effects from companies like Lexicon, Eventide, and Roland supplied delay, pitch shifting, chorus, and reverb.
S
5:37ShadHOST
The result was that classic, polished LA guitar sound.
S
5:40ShadHOST
Compressed, clean strat tones, chorus, stereo delay, lush reverb, harmonizer effects, and enormous lead sounds.
The Working Audio Tools VOCAL SOUND!
E
45:30Ed ThorneHOST
Yeah.
P
45:32Paul ThirdHOST
and then that's just a really easy trick because if you have too much low end in your verbs that's what's going to start kind of muddying out the vocal and it's instead of adding kind of more depth it's kind of just maybe going to add in a little bit of mud in there and again with the top end that's where if you're adding too much top end in the verbs especially like I used to really like the SP 2016 from Eventide there's a really good vocal preset I was using but sometimes what I was finding and especially with a lot of the 80s stuff there's a few George Michael tracks and a few Wham tracks where I'm like, Jesus Christ, I can hear, like I can almost tell you exactly which lexicon it was, you know, or what percaste preset it was because they've got so much top end that it's like, fuck, I'm hearing the reverb more than I'm hearing the delay.
P
46:21Paul ThirdHOST
So again, that could be a sound in itself.
P
46:22Paul ThirdHOST
Like if you're going for a vaccines kind of style kind of sound where the verb is almost a part of the sound, then that's cool.
Why Your Reverb Sounds Amateur
T
8:12Terry HartHOST
And it's just one of those pitch shifted reverbs, which you could create it using pitch shifting and formant shifting followed by reverb.
T
8:21Terry HartHOST
I do it with either Valhalla shimmer or Eventide shimmer verb because it's just easier and it does a beautiful job.
T
8:28Terry HartHOST
So I've got that there.
T
8:29Terry HartHOST
But it's good that
