LiquidSonics / Lustrous Plates
Posted: Mar 23, 2019 6:15 am
'Lustrous Plates recreates the beautiful tone of seven classic plates reverbs using LiquidSonics’ Temporal Acoustic Spectral Mapping (TASM) technology. Powered by Fusion-IR | Synthesis, Lustrous Plates is a rich and luxurious contemporary plate design with seven distinctive models. TASM uses a proprietary multi band dynamic capture and analysis method which allows an unprecedented frequency specific profiling of the plate’s natural decay, which is then mapped into an advanced reverb synthesis algorithm, so that it not only achieves the beautiful decay of real acoustic plates, but it also gains the benefit of having classic algorithmic reverb parameters which allow fine tuning in ways that you’ve never been able to with any other plate emulation.'
I downloaded the demo and made a quick demonstration of the LustrousPlates applied to the Galaxy VintageD, just to get a first glimpse of what these plates sound like. (Pretty good stuff, if you ask me.) The audio clip consists of several totally dry bits of Galaxy followed by the same bit run through the LiquidSonics. I recorded on three different tracks, meaning that I could work with three different Plate-settings, varying between three different models and ranging from quite long to smallroomishly short.
This is something I might buy. Talking of which: the intro price, until April 21st, is $149. After that, the price settles at $199.
