On my cheap-as-it-gets phone there are some pretty convincing (medium) room sounds especially on electric guitar. Other than that I have no idea what to this a sounds like.

A plate reverb system uses an electromechanical transducer, similar to the driver in a loudspeaker, to create vibrations in a large plate of sheet metal. The plate’s motion is picked up by one or more contact microphones whose output is an audio signal which may be added to the original "dry" signal.

Hello. We purchased this EMT 140 Reverb Amplifier at an auction and purchased it "unseen" as it was wrapped and boxed and they would not allow anyone to take off the packing around the boxes to take a look at it. They auctioned it off as "large lot stereo equipment". When we finally found enough strong friends to help load/unload it we got it to the storage unit and saw what it was.

Hi, I'd like to ask your opinion about reverb fx. When do I have to use plate, when hall and when room?
Is it right to use different algorithms in a song, (for example rooms for guitar, hall for vocals?)
If you use different reverbs, your mix will sound right?
Thanks

In a mix when setting up reverbs, are plate reverbs typically used as say an ambience reverb or as more of a spatial reverb to highlight specific tracks like the vocals or lead instruments?

Respect!

I'm using Pro Tools mix and am looking for a better reverb program than what I'm using, lexiverb. I'm looking for some good plate reverbs without buying an emt. Is the plate 140 by UAD any good? I've got the mix system, so I don't think altiverb would work on my system?

so I'm just warndering after the recent thred on plate reverb is it worth it or can the digital reverbs do just as well?

i do all my recording and mixing in the daw with a few out boards and with the recent post about the plate reverb i started thinking. is every one satisfied with the reverb plugins such as the WAVES suit, or is a plate still considerd the end all be all.(basically should i condsider building one)
