Ray, I know you know this but for others who don't: the UAD Plate 140 is an algorithmic reverb and has a "breathing" quality to it that I add to QL Spaces, which, like Altiverb, is a convolution reverb. Convolution reverbs are like snapshots, very accurate, but they don't breathe. Also, it is warmer, more analog soumdingRaymond_Kemp wrote:I've had this discussion in another place with Jay over UAD EMT140 compared to Altiverb EMT140. Having never owned or used UAD hardware/software I obviously can not make up my own mind on the similarity or difference and it doesn't bother me at all.
If I add Altiverb EMT140 to a track I'm working on, I listen and decide if it improves or detracts from the sound I'm hoping to achieve.
'same with every other effects plugin I own. I either have the craft to create a pleasing sound or I don't, changing plugins will not alter that fact.
I surely have learned this lesson at great expense. One day soon I'll get into the plugin folder and remove all that never get use.
So for the purposes I use it the Plate 140, the Altiverb version simply would not bring those things to the table and back when I owned Altiverb 6 for several years, in fact, it didn't.
Any other instruments you can recommend Piet? How is the Shakuhachi?
