Bring the sound of sunset studios into your bedroom studio
Make your home studio sound like one of the big boys. Add that touch of flair.
Mind blowing
Finally I bought this after letting the demo expire long ago.
I have so many high end expensive reverbs that I didn't want to add to my growing list.
Well let me tell you all that this reverb is truely special and unique.
I didn't expect the rooms and booths to be so useful and more importantly, this reverb makes the source sound like it's in the actual space as opposed to having a reverb added to the sound source.
I am writing this review because it deserves 5 stars. Vintage vibes at its best!!!
Sunset Sound Studios
This is a great room emulation.
Great sound, weird installation
This sounds great, as good as Ocean Way from UAD but "pleasantly different". Where the Ocean Way ambience is too big and open, the Sunset Sound creates that intimate room sound better. The technology appears to be mostly IR based, and worked well with multiple tracks being bussed to the plugin with varying pre-delays to create some room depth. All in all, I can see myself using this for my home studio a lot, to help me record really dead in the room, then use IR's to place my instruments into a bigger virtual recording room. The install is a little weird in that it wants to add 3.3GB of files to my hard drive for the whole T Racks suite, just for a single plugin. I had to hide all the ones I didn't purchase (all 51 of them) in my DAW - that is definitely something that IK should address, hence the 1 star deduction.
Great Plug-in - bloated install
I've had the great fortune of recorded at Sunset Sound. The chambers are THAT sound.
The plug-in does a great 'profile' of the (3) studio live rooms, chambers and plates. It's old VH in a plug-in for guitar players.
For the special holiday price - it's a no-brainer… however as mentioned before it's a mega install as you have to download all the T-racks plugins which are 'locked' (52) at the time of this review.
Again the plug-in is great for that Sunset Sound vibe. If you're already in IK ecosystem it's a 30 second unlock. If you're a fresh installer 30 minutes or more.
In my opinion
This reverb is actually easy to use but mostly time i dint use that much reverb so it was not worth it
I regret my purchase
The installation is the most horrible bloatware experience I've ever encountered. Never again will i give a cent to IK, and I regret buying this. Soundwise it's nothing special either. Very expressive for what it is.
