Percussion Sounds

Every music style involves percussion sounds; they are indispensable. These occur through a disturbance in the pressure or density of a surface, which in turn produces a vibration. As the name suggest, they are generally produced by percussion instruments. While creating a track, users often reach a point where they decide to write a specific…

Realistic Guitar Sounds

Realistic guitar sounds are, probably, the most popular ones when it comes to music production. This is probably because these string instruments themselves are quite trendy. For instance, composer wrote many famous soundtracks, such as electronic music, rock and roll, and classical music, especially for acoustic guitars. Although it is not easy, many producers have…

Scheps Parallel Particles: Tone Shaping

Waves Audio and Andrew Scheps have launched a tone shaping plugin known as Scheps Parallel Particles. As you might know, tone shaping plugin units are devices that provide a variety of processing alternatives. These devices are quite simple to operate and they offer a great sound quality. And, in this case, Waves Audio has really…

Mid-Side EQ

Mid-Side EQ is an audio technique that enhances the mix. Basically, how it works is that the stereo image perceives spatial location of sound sources reproduced on a stereo system. This technique can help a mix to achieve the expansive and immersive qualities that stereo systems typically reproduce. And it does so even without a…

Convolution Reverb

Convolution reverb is a process that mimics the reverberation of a physical or a virtual space. When used in audio signal processing, it occupies several software profiles that are capable of recreating a particular audio environment. Convolution reverb can recreate a realistic simulation of any acoustic space. The Workings of the Convolution Reverb Convolution reverb…

Delay Effects

Nowadays, delay effects are some of the most powerful music production tools. To begin with, delay is an artificial phenomenon that mimics a natural echo effect. An audio effects device records an input signal into an audio storage vehicle and plays it back after a certain time period. A Bit of History on Delay Effects…

Chamber Reverb

A chamber reverb is a small device with a very reflective surface and squared angles. In general, chambers have a lot of color and texture, so they sound great on all sorts of sources. Anything that needs a distinct energy boost or extra texture can benefit from chamber reverbs. The Beginnings Echo chambers have been an…

Hall Reverb

A hall reverb is a kind of reverb processor. In turn, a reverb processor is a device that uses a customizable algorithm to turn a source sound into a reverberant version of that specific sound. Sound engineers usually set up basic configurations that mimic typical reverbs. Reverb involves a wide variety of echoes caused by sounds bouncing…

Plate Reverb

Plate reverb is a type of audio processor that offers sonic complexity. It involves a large metal plate that vibrates in a two-dimensional way. To do so, it goes down the length and across the width of a steel sheet. Then, the audio signal feeds the driver, which is directly connected to the plate. When…

Room Reverb

A room reverb is a device that uses a customizable algorithm to turn a source sound into a reverberant version of that specific sound. Its aim is to mimic the natural sound of a small acoustic space, which translates into a faster sound and decay. Small spaces are the perfect scenario to add realism to…
