I laughed when you mentioned that the sonics of plate verb could change while using it... The first time I worked with the EMT 140 was back in the 80’s, as a young engineer; I was an A2 at that time, assisting a head engineer on a mix. The plate was located in the basement of the studio we were working in, with the only access to it being from the outside; similar to a storm cellar, with angled doors at ground level. We got the essentials of the mix dialed in, and took a break for lunch. When we returned, and started working the mix again, we both noticed that the verb on the lead vocal sounded dramatically different than it had earlier. It didn’t sound “bad”, nor did it sound “better”, just different. As it turned out, just before we had returned to the studio, the owner of the studio had opened the access doors of the basement, to get rid of a foot of snow that had accumulated on them from a storm the night before, and cold air then rushed into the basement, rapidly dropping the ambient temperature. That sudden temperature drop completely altered the sound of the plate. As the basement began to warm up again, the sound of the reverb gradually returned to where we’d set it. But, the head engineer then decided that he actually liked the sound of the “cold” plate better than the original “warm” one... I half-jokingly asked him if he wanted me to go out and open the basement doors again; he smiled, but didn’t laugh, and he said, “Yeah, I do, but we’d better print the warm reverb as it is now, just in case I change my mind later.” This is the sort of experience that a modern recording engineer won’t encounter... unless plug manufacturers start putting virtual doors and temperature adjustments on their reverb plugs. 🤣🤣
Thanks for your story. The closer I get to making something and releasing it that I'm proud of, the further I feel I get from records that I have heard with with warmth and character that of analogue gear from those times. Things change but I guess I'm starting to feel a little less impressed by what I'm doing on my lil computer when I hear a story like this. But nevertheless different paths but same journey.
Right! I was thinking the plug-in programmers could read the temperature sensors for the cpu or the system board to simulate the effects of long recording session.... 😏
@@briancase6180 Man.. That's an idea.. Is that even possible? And even if it is, wouldn't it essentially just be a code written into the program simulating the warmth... and when do you tell the plugin to do such a thing.
@@thearcaneplane2791 Of course it's possible: you can get a utility (Intel makes one for its chips) that will report current values of the various temperature sensors in your system. A plugin could use the same APIs to access the sensors. So, yeah, the code would assume that the plate is warming up in synchrony with the system or the CPU. Since, after all, the "plate" is *in* the program, which is in the system or the CPU, depending on your point of view.... :)
I'm an idiot. I've been using this thing for months and never clicked on the dropdown menu icon to reveal the whole equalizer portion of the plugin. I need a beer.
Its easy to miss, and Ive been lazy about the drop down menu....Got it free from Arturia and its one of my best gentle and lush Reverbs. Pass me the bottle too!
I’ve own this for a few months. I actually got it when it was free. I can honestly say that it’s one of my favorite reverbs I own. I have all the Valhalla, IK Multimedia, exponential audio (my other go to), waves, and several others. I play aggressive but atmospheric music so reverb is something that is a big part of my sound so I’ve tried/bought a lot of reverb plugins. This to my ears is one of the best. Not for every situation but when I need a plate reverb this is my go to. Even though I got it for free I would happily pay for it. Outstanding reverb.
I would argue that the linearity and predictably is a good thing. In the world of DAWs, we like the instant recall of sessions. Why, then, would we want randomized reverb? If I dial in the exact setting that sounds good, I wouldn't want it to change.
I agree about the predictability. However, non-linearity does not imply inability for recall. All of the distortion plugins in your DAW work in a non-linear fashion. Gated reverbs are non-linear (unless it's a convolution model of a gated reverb). Compressors are non-linear. The only thing that convolution reverbs cannot emulate properly is the non-linear behaviour of some of these units (bear in mind, algorithmic reverbs certainly could), which can often be one of the qualities that people seek in them. Just to reiterate, seeking non-linearity doesn't mean one is seeking unpredictability.
@BTHanissBEATS Non-linearality is math. Polynomials are non-linear, and they don't give life to anything. Non-linear results can be used to add flavor, but that's not the only way to do it.
Nice tutorial - by the way { bij de weg } we use 2 Original EMT 140 plate Reverbs in our Studio . 1 Stereo Tube Plate 140 and 1 Solid State Stereo Tube 140. - and yes we have a AKG BX 20 and even a AKG BX 25 with the extra Optional M-250 Digital Delay Line , Love from Enschede - The Netherlands and… coffee is ready , always welcome.
Arturia are quickly becoming my favourite company. The fact that you can "rent-to-own" their plugins (and still pay the regular price overall) on Splice is amazing.. Their synths and FX plugins are crazy good.
im glad you said "beautiful." i was thinking the exact same thing when you first played it before the EQ adjustment. got a great sound, [from what i can hear through you tube 4k.]
Arturia plate 140 sounds amazing, real pro stuff. You talks a lot about the past. I have spend a lot of time in different studios since the early 80ties, I don't bother much about the past equipment. 😊
I've got to say that this is easily one of the most immediately usable plate emulations I've tried. It is easy to set into a mix and add a vibe that not one other of my plate reverbs could (and not that the others were bad). I've got Lexicon, Eventide, UAD (which is superb), Waves, and Valhalla. All of them could deliver various plate sounds, but this one ended up quite more organic and absolutely perfect for certain results. This plugin is easily worth its' asking price.
I'm now going to add, for other high quality differing sound, Ecoplate from Hear360 Transatlantic Plate Reverb from Rare Signals. There are others of note (Waves Abbey Road), but these REALLY stand out to my ears. The Transatlantic version is quite spectacular. What a time we live in that we have this kind of technology to be coming forward with such a high quality, and also being so much more affordable.
You always have such an interesting take, coming from having used the real thing and the expectations that these plugins will truly recreate the real thing. Most other reviewers just stop at “sounds great!” and have nothing of interest to say about how the plug differs from the real deal. Thanks for being awesome!
I like a plate on vocals for getting a vintage sound. It's a more muscular tone that becomes part of the voice better than the warm smooth surrounding bath of modern digital reverb. You and I both own real plates so you know what I'm talking about. I've tried about 6 plate plugins so far including UA and they sound pretty close to me. All those old plates had a different characteristic even though they were the same brand and model due to age of plate, any damage and especially how it's tuned. RCA in Nashville had 3 monos in the basement and they would turn the air conditioner on cold in the plate room a few hours before the sessions started. The colder they got the tighter and more highs even beyond tightening the clips as tight as they can get without breaking. I noticed a couple of plugins had that characteristic warble to the sound caused by some slight bends in the plate making it even more realistic. UA plugin sounded really good to me . Plugins are cool because you can use so many different instances without tons of money and a dedicated room to hold them. Like a giant microphone.
I got this plugin for free with an audio interface, I was like OK lets check it out why not and than BAMM that sound! since then I use this reverb every time for my bass lines.
Man there are a lot of versions of Sandstorm I’ve never heard before. Also when you turn a plate reverb to full wet, it sounds like someone falling down a concrete staircase
I got it for free and I really like it. I won other plate reverb plugins and this came closest to what I would consider a plate reverb sound. The 99€ are a fair price, although I'd maybe spend it on something else, because it's not my day to day type of sound. I really appreciate, that you stopped rambling too much about analog looking interfaces, keep up the good work.
learning a lot about analog watching your videos, its giving me rounded knowledge on what I've actually been doing with plugins the passed year lol, I knew it was simulating it I didn't realize the compromise tho .. thanks for the content
As indicated below this plugin was free back in December for their 20th anniversary - I feel fortunate to have grabbed it then looking at the price now...
FINALLY! A plugin I got to before you did! I grabbed the whole Arturia bundle for 200.00 when they had the introductory sale...the bundle as a whole is really good (there are a couple duds in it, but that's usually the case with any bundle)...
I have this reverb + the effects bundle as well I like there VST plugs ins.You can enjoy all the Analog gear.I don't miss trying to located unwanted noise in the signal.Looking for a bad instrument cable.I would rather not hassle with it all & work inside the box. Thanks for the video Tim
They added the eq, high pass and pre delay to compete with the abbey road, those were things that they had in abbey road (though wish it had both low and high pass before the delay but you can do that in your daw), sounds pretty good in this demo though.
I've had this plugin for a few months (got it free). It sounds fantastic on my Lounge Lizard Rhodes. I'm not so sure I'd ever pay $100 for this software, but, it does what it does quite well.
Okay, Wytse, now that you put a toe in Arturia's pool...You MUST try their compressors and their delays. I was surprised how great they performed. I had a dbx 165 and their emulation was VERY spot on!
The fet 76 by arturia is an amazing compressor, best 76 style compressor that I have used hands down. So much better than the CLA 76 and slate 76. Best vocal compressor that i have found.
So what? As long as you don't describe why that is and where exactly the differences are and on what material you used it... What does that completely off topic post means anyway?
moe47988 I personally haven't used it so I can't say anything on the actual sound, but the arturia is a third of the price and has a lot more options than the uad one. It has a mix knob that makes parallel compression much easier and has advanced side chain controls right in the plugin.
Been using this one for a couple of months. I get lost in it sometimes, I put it on snares and toms as well then post-filter them (EQ) a bit and the results are really good, impressive actually. But you can only use it on very specific elements so its quite edgy thinking outside the box with this. Overall it does wonders to drum sequences as well as textures! I still have lot to learn though.
Love this plate verb. I prefer it to the soundtoys & waves plates (can’t speak to the Valhalla) and an excellent counterpoint to the old UAD. I also love their own digital algorithms from their Intensify reverb A LOT and have been waiting for an excuse to use their spring verb on an appropriate source - their examples sound amazing so I just need an appropriate track befitting of a characterful spring.
I have this plugin and think it sounds pretty good. Model 1 is fine, Model 2 has more more snap and sounds the best for most applications, and Model 3 has a certain tightness you can slam anything into -, and sounds great for pop/rock. I got it when it was free, but for €99, no thanks. The Arturia FX Collection is however an amazing value at €299.
i tried this plugin too when it was free. idk.. maybe i was just not in the mood enough but i didn't feel it then. it's really hard to make an objective statement about reverbs though. sometimes i perceive them drastically different
I have it and it is so awesome. It sounds amazing on drums most of the time. That´s its main use for my mixes. It has a raw character that fits well with drums.
Good video. I guy this when it was free: I feel very lucky. Just one nit: when you say "linear" you mean "deterministic." The plug-in is deterministic compared to the hardware, which is affected by heat, etc.
Yeah, i got this one for free somewhere in around Joelfeest or so but now my DAW (Harrison MIxbus 32c) has a new version wich doesn't support VST3's anymore, bummer! I liked this reverb...
I like this Arturia one. I do think the UAD EMT 140 sounds a wee bit nicer. I the controls layout is nicer too. But this one is worth it for the price.
Sounds pretty good! I am really keen on the Valhalla Plate (algorithmic) and the Waves Abbey Roads Plates as well (one of the only Waves plugins I care for). Just wondering though, if you thought the sound was lacking variance and movement, wouldn't the modulation section be worth digging into? I haven't used this plugin, so I'm not sure if it is on the natural/random side or more of an LFO but it might give you some of what you are missing!
The waves plate is the best plate I heard yet ITB. But it's impossible to work with in dense projects as it's literally eating CPU for breakfast and Waves doesn't care about optimization and multi core support. I have long ago deleted my Waves folder.
test to automate the predelay ... this sound smooth , no jump in value , very very great for some chorus type effect on the input ... i don't know why they put a such predelay in repitch mode and not on jump value but when ieared how it sounds while moving this knob , i directly though about moving or automate it while sound playing thru .... unbeatable space chorus/ effect on horns or pads.
How does it compare with the waves abbey road plate plugin? I have the native instruments one and kind of like the gui of the waves one but is it worth buying just for the pretty interface ?

This plugin was free couple months ago.
Yeah I unfortunately realized that one day too late...
Thats why it is a good idea to subscribe to to their mailing list, so you don't miss their gifts.
Thimo Vijfschaft you had to install arturias DRM-controllcenter Software. that's where i folded.
Free for life time? 😭
Also glad I got in early to save 99 Euro
The spring thingy from the same collection is also awesome. The Rev Plate was free for Cristmas. Got to love Arturia. :)
This thing was free for some days in December. It’s my favorite plate so far and now watching your review, much more! 🤙🏼
Same over here. Got it for free and since then it's my default reverb. I do turn the wet/dry a bit down. 😁
One day youtube is going to actually start giving Darude royalties from all the times you've used this track.

Arturia plate 140 sounds amazing, real pro stuff.
You talks a lot about the past.
I have spend a lot of time in different studios since the early 80ties, I don't bother much about the past equipment. 😊
like it the most as a reverb on the master......
very smooth and can bring everything together without overdoing space info......
Arturia already made great sounding synths but recently they've been making some great effect processors as well. I like their products.
I've got to say that this is easily one of the most immediately usable plate emulations I've tried.

Most other reviewers just stop at “sounds great!” and have nothing of interest to say about how the plug differs from the real deal. Thanks for being awesome!
Agreed I love this man
This plugin in even good dry. I just use the drive option and the output. Somehow gives drums a bit of clarity. Not snake oil
Thanks for the tip. Arturias new stuff emulates analog really great. Never thought of this as for "just" saturation. :)
In some of their modeled synths, they have an 'unstable' mode or something. It would be interesting if they added that to this.
this is the best reverb for me so far.
I got this one free a few months ago and now I find myself using it a lot. Cool reverb plugin.

Much appreciated for this one!! Pretty sure a lot of us got this around the holiday, so this was a nice unbiased review...again🤜🤛
love Arturia plugins!
i have use this on multiple recordings already. truly love this, especially for drums or synth.
It pretty good and even better I also got it free as part of my Collection 7.Thanks for the. run through :-)
I like Arturia
They made a few very good synths that I use.
Got this plugin for free some months ago. What this does for my guitar tone is beyond words.
Staying Inside, complete with falsetto...brilliant.

A sublime and lush reverb plate. I am using it mostly on my Mix reverb sends to all my stems.

I love this reverb. Use it all the time.
You kept you promise! thanks man!!!!!!
FINALLY! A plugin I got to before you did! I grabbed the whole Arturia bundle for 200.00 when they had the introductory sale...the bundle as a whole is really good (there are a couple duds in it, but that's usually the case with any bundle)...
I got it for free some time ago and it's so good it tempts me every time I need to pick a reverb
Got it today, it's very real sounding - going to be used a lot
I very much like the sound of it. and for the price it is not bad at all.
I have this reverb + the effects bundle as well I like there VST plugs ins.You can enjoy all the Analog gear.I don't miss trying to located unwanted noise in the signal.Looking for a bad instrument cable.I would rather not hassle with it all & work inside the box.
Thanks for the video Tim
arturia gave it free for christmas, and i find it pretty good, much better than other "classic plates" presets on many expensive plugins...
They added the eq, high pass and pre delay to compete with the abbey road, those were things that they had in abbey road (though wish it had both low and high pass before the delay but you can do that in your daw), sounds pretty good in this demo though.
This was free over Christmas. Love it! :)
rev plate 140 is fantastic
This is hands down the reverb to go when I mix, the one I use the most. While I use NI's Raum for a more creative Reverb effect usually.
12:50 ---> the reason I subscribed. :D awesome work, keep it up mate!
Their spring reverb has such vibey distortion and colour, I often slap it on a bus on 100% dry just for the free eq and harmonics...
I think this is very close to the real thing. Thanks for the rewiev.
When the man starts the video off by singing a BeeGees dad joke cover.... you know its going to be a goood episode
Yep like a few people have already said, got this Reverb free a few months back.. great to see others think it's not snake oil!
I've had this plugin for a few months (got it free). It sounds fantastic on my Lounge Lizard Rhodes. I'm not so sure I'd ever pay $100 for this software, but, it does what it does quite well.
it's astonishing how much better UAD plugs sound, probably has to do with the back and forth conversion to 192k during processing
getting mad at the age/wear of the box they 3d modelled is just priceless XD give 'em hell!
I just find I always seem to go back to the Fab filter stuff.. this looks nice , and as always great vid..
really is impressive ... actually

nichttuntun I was just recommending a plugin to him since it is also part of the arturia fx bundle...
i JUST GRABBED THERE v COLLECTION, loving IT. ESP the Buchla, and Oberheim SEM
Best emulation of the EMT-140 I've heard and use, is in Altiverb 7. And they have a number of other plater verbs that are excellent.
the small modulation section would help with non linearities but not at a micro level. experimenting with automation may get you a bit closer.
I was lucky enough to get this for free a while back. It’s great on snares! 🥁👍🏾
Please get more into the whole collection, it seems pretty good on the classic to me. Would love to hear your opinion.😄👍🏼
Darude will win a Grammy for that tom sound 😉
Was going to buy the V collection + minifreak v combo for 189€...then opted for a minifuse 4 for 219€....still get 4 Arturia FX for a taste 😁
grabbed this last december for free, - very impressive emulation, IMO
Have you tried the UVI plate reverb? It has a lot more parameters and takes plate reverb to another level
Been using this one for a couple of months. I get lost in it sometimes, I put it on snares and toms as well then post-filter them (EQ) a bit and the results are really good, impressive actually. But you can only use it on very specific elements so its quite edgy thinking outside the box with this. Overall it does wonders to drum sequences as well as textures!

Great timing as it's on sale for 49 euros/$49 at the moment.
Got this for Free my Go to on almost anything. mainly for Lead vocals
Maybe using the modulation can give some variable in the sound to give a more realistic effect? Sounded pretty good anyhow!
i tried this plugin too when it was free. idk.. maybe i was just not in the mood enough but i didn't feel it then. it's really hard to make an objective statement about reverbs though. sometimes i perceive them drastically different
Nice plate. Have you tried the Kush audio Goldplate?
I have it and it is so awesome.
It sounds amazing on drums most of the time.
That´s its main use for my mixes.
It has a raw character that fits well with drums.
You are awesome!
i got this reverb for free and i love it, nice on a drum bus.
Very nice reverb plate 😌
This one was Free for me so i liked it from the first moment !!
😇
Good video. I guy this when it was free: I feel very lucky. Just one nit: when you say "linear" you mean "deterministic." The plug-in is deterministic compared to the hardware, which is affected by heat, etc.
Wow that sounds really nice. I'd say it's better if the reverbs consistant. Though they could add a button to make it more random.
Yeah, i got this one for free somewhere in around Joelfeest or so but now my DAW (Harrison MIxbus 32c) has a new version wich doesn't support VST3's anymore, bummer! I liked this reverb...
I like this Arturia one. I do think the UAD EMT 140 sounds a wee bit nicer. I the controls layout is nicer too. But this one is worth it for the price.
This reverb was free a few months ago and it's a really nice plate sim.
i got it just because it was free but it turned out to be a nice plugin to have, too band it's a bit heavy on cpu
Don't you love it how plugins go from free to 100 $ the next day. Really don't understand why devs do this.
@@elowine It was supposed to be a christmas gift or something i believe...
Sounds pretty good! I am really keen on the Valhalla Plate (algorithmic) and the Waves Abbey Roads Plates as well (one of the only Waves plugins I care for). Just wondering though, if you thought the sound was lacking variance and movement, wouldn't the modulation section be worth digging into? I haven't used this plugin, so I'm not sure if it is on the natural/random side or more of an LFO but it might give you some of what you are missing!
The waves plate is the best plate I heard yet ITB. But it's impossible to work with in dense projects as it's literally eating CPU for breakfast and Waves doesn't care about optimization and multi core support. I have long ago deleted my Waves folder.
This plugin showed up in my account for free... It's amazing! I had no idea I owned it
There is actually a very helpful and to the point guided tutorial built in. You would have had a lot more fun had you started there. Great plugin!
It does sound amazing, but I struggle to use it on stuff. I reach for Little Plate more than I do this. I find it more versatile oddly enough.
test to automate the predelay ... this sound smooth , no jump in value , very very great for some chorus type effect on the input ... i don't know why they put a such predelay in repitch mode and not on jump value but when ieared how it sounds while moving this knob , i directly though about moving or automate it while sound playing thru .... unbeatable space chorus/ effect on horns or pads.
How does it compare with the waves abbey road plate plugin? I have the native instruments one and kind of like the gui of the waves one but is it worth buying just for the pretty interface ?
This ting sounds sweet
Review the Fuse Audio Labs TCS-68. It's a saturator and EQ that's supposed to sound like an old Tascam 688 recorder.
where can i listen to your mixes (type spotify).
The only thing you show is Darud
google whiteseastudio.. he has a website with plenty of examples
