Get Musical Reverb Sounds Right Out the Gate
While reverb is one of music’s most revered effects, it’s also one of the most difficult to tame. Get it right, and your sounds have incredibly enhanced space and depth; conversely, add too much, and you’re swimming in a muddy musical marsh. Learning how to properly EQ and gate reverb takes years of practice, but the Solid State Logic GateVerb plug-in does all the heavy lifting for you, giving you instant, great-sounding results! This nonlinear gated reverb plug-in makes it easier than ever to give your tracks that desired space and depth while keeping your mix from getting out of control. Its intuitive interface with comprehensive controls for Density, Time, Colour, Size, Retro, and Dry/Wet mix allows you to sculpt perfect reverb characteristics with unheard-of speed and precision. Additionally, GateVerb also offers ducking/sidechaining and lets you time-sync the pre-delay and time parameters to the tempo of your DAW project. Finally, here’s a tip from our Sweetwater studio engineers: pair the GateVerb plug-in with the SSL LMC+ Listen Mic compressor plug-in to instantly get that drum sound (yes, you know the one)!

Nonlinear for non-traditional sounds
While traditional “linear” reverbs often emulate natural spaces like halls or cathedrals, “nonlinear” reverbs alter decay patterns in unnatural ways that can create complex, evolving effects like gated reverbs, which vary in intensity and character. Your ear definitely knows the sound of nonlinear reverb — not only is it found on many iconic’ ’70s/’80s tracks like Kate Bush’s “Hounds of Love” and Prince’s “Kiss,” but it has been featured on more recent hits, including Carly Rae Jepsen’s “When I Needed You” and Dua Lipa and Miguel’s “Lost In Your Light.” Given that nonlinear gated reverbs don’t have the long tails that conventional linear reverbs do, they are able to add depth and space to a sound without washing out all its other sonic qualities. And once again, with the GateVerb plug-in in your tool kit, you can sprinkle some nonlinear reverb magic on your tracks in no time.
