REAL Plate Reverb Demo!!
I've got a real plate reverb in the crawlspace under my house!
Today we're going to listen to the Dry, Reverb Only, and Dry + Reverb for all the instruments in the song. This was the only reverb used in the final mix, so we'll check that out too to see how the finished product sounds.
Pleeeeease make sure to subscribe the channel.

    Great video‼️ I recently got the same machine and it’s been sounding great. Have you had the chance to check out the speed mods for this machine by installing a DP3T switch? I was thinking of attempting to do it to mine to get access to 7 & 30ips. It doesn’t have eq adjustments but I have another older machine that does 15ips but only has 7ips eq and it still works wonderfully. Anyways would be great to see a video on that 😏

    Hey cool vids and talk through the process. Just to point out - your actually showing the Zenith adjustment which is front to back tilt, Azimuth is side to side tilt/rotation to the tape. Also, you keep the cover (red tip) on the wand when demagnetising your heads, you shouldn't touch anything when doing so, but the cover is to stop you accidentally making contact/scratching anything. Cheers.

    • @FridayGuyRecords

    Thank you so much for posting this! I just got my ms-16 up and running! I’ve noticed on my machine that the playback from my repro head has noticeably less highs than my sync head? Do you think this is a bias adjustment issue or an azimuth adjustment issue..? I’m completely open to any suggestions… Thanks!

    • @FridayGuyRecords
      @FridayGuyRecords Місяць тому

      That’s a great question! It could be a bias issue or a high eq adjustment. I would recommend demagnetizing and cleaning the heads and then doing this full setup. That would eliminate a lot of the guess work and resolve any adjustment issues. If head wear or old capacitors are the culprit, you will probably find that during the setup as well. You’ll be getting weird reading. When in doubt, find a good audio shop! And if that’s not an option, I’d just stick with using the sync head on playback if it sounds good! Hope that helps! Good luck to you!

    • @TwinCreekAudio
      @TwinCreekAudio Місяць тому

      @@FridayGuyRecords that's all good advice. I'd check the high frequency calibration first. If the wave forms are close to alignment, then the azimuth is probably OK. I'll do a little research and see if I can think of anything else.

    I did work in a recording studio that had an EMT plate hung from the rafters in the attic of a strip mall building. When the fire trucks from the nearby fire station would roll, we could hear the sirens in the reverb return. Does your plate pick up any sounds when the toilet flushes?
