Spring Generalities and Basic Characteristics
Spring reverb units are so varied, with some manufacturers using a simple spring, to some with multiple springs, some with tubes in the design, some solid state, etc (not to mention the actual length of the springs – some are very long) that unlike the plates library where one could group them together and create simple sub categories, it’s much harder in the spring world – it really is. That’s why this library is so interesting and worth adding to your convolution and impulse response library – there’s nothing else out there like it.
If you are looking for a plate response that has more of that 3D acoustic sound, where you can almost hear the envelopment of the sound waves in a concert hall, try dialling in one of the Austrian, MasMix, or Mmix springs – you won’t be disappointed.
If you want a fun current sounding reverb effect, but with a little vintage vibe, try a number of the springs, but find the reverb length in the 1 – 2 seconds range.
That vintage guitar sound will be had with one of the boingy springs – no doubt. There are a good number of variations, in the boingy category, so check them all out. If you want to add spatial qualities to an instrument, or perhaps the lead vocal, even while applying a plate or digital reverb on top, try placing one of our hybrid spring files and pull it back from the top reverb and you’ll add some of that 3D acoustic magic. Also try applying a shorter Austrian spring and you’ll hear additional front end “reflections,” also yielding to a more 3D sound.
Vintage springs can absolutely carry the entire job, or work as a great addition to other FX on particular tracks – that’s really the beauty of this springs library and is why you will enjoy the broad and diverse impulse response files captured and included in pristine 96/24 detail!
