Product Description

This library is available in 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96khz sample rates (you get all 4 sample rates when purchasing). Special thanks to Max for creating the skin!

This entry in my Real Spaces series includes some rooms from a completely empty house, with hardwood floors throughout. Two bedrooms of similar dimensions were sampled as make-shift echo chambers. Two different (and different sounding) mics were used in each, with mic#2 being placed in the closet of each room. This created four different room reverbs for use in Nebula. There are also two different stereo combo programs which combine the samples in different ways to make the stereo effect. The first uses both mics, as the rooms were actually sampled. The second combines both rooms for each mic (so you’re actually hearing one room in the left channel, and the separately sampled other room in the right).

Another set of reverbs were made by placing the speaker in the main, living room of the house, and mic#1 in the hallway to the side, and mic#2 in the kitchen. There is a small den area between the living room and both the hallway and the kitchen, so the sound waves had to travel across (and bounce around in) a few rooms before reaching the mics. You can use each mic separately or both together, which works surprisingly well to make another nice stereo reverb, with a more distant sound compared to the bedroom reverbs.

To add even more variety, each setup sampled was also captured twice more, using my ‘bionic’ technique of playing/recording the sampling tones at different speeds (here, one faster, and one slower than normal). This produces reverbs that in a sense are ‘pitched’ up or down compared to the standard captures. So for every mic/room combo described above, are additional variations- one a bit ‘lower pitched’ and another a bit ‘higher pitched’ than the main ones. The decays are also faster or slower, depending. The results sometimes sound even better than the originals.

There are 18 unique reverb captures in this library. When including the stereo combos (which give a different effect compared to the mono reverbs), there are 33 reverbs to choose from altogether. You can quickly and easily switch between all of these using the skin, just by clicking buttons, to find something that suits your mixing needs.

Here’s a video by Max (who made the skin) demoing the collection. You can also click ‘audio demos’ above to hear some mp3 demos I made.

Check out the manual for more info about what all is in the set.

First, a simple drum beat I slapped together, using default FL Studio drum set. I think it highlights how these reverbs really add lots of depth to the input. First dry, then it repeats with different reverbs from the two bedrooms, including some (but not all) of the mono and some of the stereo ones.

Same drums, using all 9 'across the house' reverbs.

Bass synth. Using the bedroom reverbs (again, not all). All of these demo clips are pretty wet, just to really show off the sound of the room(s).

Same bass synth with the 'across the room' reverbs.

A vocal. Using some of the bedroom reverbs. I think here the reverbs sound a bit more similar than in the other clips, probably because the vocal has less of a range of frequency content compared to the drums in the other clip, but you can still hear some differences.

Same vocal, this time using the 'across the house' reverbs. All 9 of them are used, first the 6 mono, then the 3 stereo ones.
