What some people have with 'never to many vca's' I have with 'never too many reverbs', must be a profound need for space.
25:35 Reverb for music is like salt for food. You can't eat it, but you can't eat without it.
Awesome interview.
ValhallaRoom has been my go to reverb plugin for years 😭😭 Sean if you're reading this I just want you to know that I still have a scar from a fight defending ValhallaRoom against Fruity Reverb!!!
What a legend and very nice person. He is one my audio role "models" even though I am not making plugins or DSP at the moment. I learned a lot about reverb listening to this, thank you guys so much. He has also has a very nice interview in a channel called the audio programmer.
I freaking hate advertisements, like
genuinely hate them. It goes so far that whenever theres a radio or TV or theres no add blocker I just turn off any ad in less than five seconds. I will literally immediately stop watching. I'll listen to mylarmelodies advertise synths and plugins to me ANY DAY! One of the most soothing voices on youtube for sure
How to use Valhalla Delay as a Reverb 1:01:14
Fascinating, but a bit hard to follow and I had to rewind several times. If I understand correctly:
DIFF Amount =the "all pass" coefficient
Valhalla Delay Reverb Type One:
Delay = 300sec delay
DIFF Size = 100%
DIFF Amount = 70-90%
Turn up FEEDBACK %
Valhalla Delay Reverb Type Two:
Reverb time 1500ms
FEEDBACK = 0%
Adjust DIFF Amount %
Or in simpler terms to use DIFF as a reverb if the delay is short use feedback, if the feedback is long reduce feedback toward 0%.
I loved every single moment of this. Thanks Alex and Sean!
Great interview, really stimulating and informative discussion!
Really great discussion and thanks for that. I filled pages of notes while just listening and thinking.
i appreciate everthing on this amazing podcust, chris!
This was fantastic. A great chat with a great human
Happy to have found this series. Such a fascinating interview, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for listening m8!!
First listen to the podcast, amazing work, going to binge the previous episodes. Thanks for the great content.
You will love them if you like this one 👍🏼
Love Valhalla DSP, they are really doing stellar work! Owning and using all of them, and Übermod actually is my favourite plugin, just for the amount of crazy sounds you can get out of it (that are not quite delay or verb at all). Also the hard work on the UI of every plugin really shows, and makes them great to use. Thank you for this deep dive! Absolutely fascinating stuff!
super super informative ... thank you guys !! Valhalla reverbs are by far the most beautiful to me. Especially those from super massive.
Great geek chat - loved it!
Just stumbled across your channel and started listening to this as I have a few Valhalla plugins. Didn’t expect I’d make it all the way through and instead was engrossed at every stage and now I’m eager to find more from the Bleep series. Thanks to both of you for an incredibly interesting and engaging conversation!
Thanks Philipp!! It’s on proper podcast services too if you want a more portable edition 🥳
Looking forward to Sean's forthcoming Beeverb.
Love the reverb internals nitty gritty.
God damn, I love these podcasts
thanks for the delay recipes. this is really good. surprising he doesn't use room. I love it on synths.
also in thx1138 walter murch recorded tapes and played them back in rooms at different speeds to simulate the different sized spaces.
you made me want to use Valhalla delay on cv signals to grandmother. diffuse amp modulations. the analog granulator. thunk
What a great interview! I have been a long time fan of Sean's work and I really enjoyed this.
By the way, your voice sounds great, which microphone do you use?
Fascinating
I tried to set up a physical modeling patch on my Zoia that had a bunch of delay lines into a bunch of mixers. I was trying to make something like the sympathetic string resonance you get on a sitar. I was disappointed to get "just" a reverb sound out of it.
Oh, if only I knew! I'm absolutely floored to hear that I accidentally recreated a popular reverb algorithm!
Hooray!
Brilliant discussion about the importance of Minimal ui .. limited options ..
Please goddess give me a Valhalla module!
Signal Sounds ad was very Terry Pratchett this episode 🤣
Abrupt ending had me rewinding. :D Great talk, though.
Since I use Samplitude I already have best-of-breed effects in pretty well every category. Including convolution reverb, etc. If I need anything customised, I use Reaktor. So I basically ignore VSTs and get on with making music.
But I do use three Valhalla products. That's how good they are. They are a singular exception to my toolkit.
Anyone interested in long reverb should listen to Stuart Dempster "In The Great Abbey of Clement VI" (Arch Records 1979, New Albion 1987).
He went on to collaborate on "Deep Listening", credited to the artists individually: Pauline Oliveros / Stuart Dempster / Panaiotis (New Albion 1989). The group subsequently took the album name as their moniker.
no such thing as a bad reverb. i should know, ive built tons of them in Reaktor. brilliant podcast!
VintageVerb is so fine, I use it all the time!
i love how Sean doesn't care to make a euro module and that he acknowledges the loud voices on forums that want more and more features
Now I want a Flint, too ! ✨ ... if only to use just that one setting 😉
He should really put out a module.
He has been getting more into Eurorack recently, after we chatted...so I hold out hope 🤞
YES!
I love UberMod! I wish Valhalla DSP and CooperFX would team up on a card for the Arcades, sort of like the team-up with TipTop on the Halls of Valhalla card.
I love Valhalla dsp, esp shimmer
Sean Costello is like the John Carmack of reverbs.
I love hearing Carmack talk about stuff
@@mylarmelodies Me too, so imagine my joy listening to this podcast! Thanks for doing it :)
I’ve only got one knob and never tire of using it
Oh you
Now I want a matrix mixer nightmare of wires here we come ;-)
that ableton spectral comment by mylar near the end was very prescient. spectraphon and endless processor were some of the biggest euro trends in '23
Nice to here another Pete Celi Stryman super fan..
We absolutely need Valhalla powered Eurorack reverbs/delays (Tiptop z-dsp is not exactly what I want).
the sales reflect the people that "dont want more" because we dont have options to buy what we want. i always want more options. synths have become way too minimal. to the point where i sell them as soon as i get tired of the very few options they have for synthesis. something like the iridium or opsix are going in the right direction but still pretty limiting. ive never felt overwhelmed by my elektron gear and i think they could make synths like the a4 & syntakt, and especially samplers like the ot and dt MUCH more complex. put some resonators, some freq shifting, some granular/formant/phase shifting. some particle or pulse sequencing. some rene style cartesian stuff with multiple lfo/mod inputs for clocking. give the synths phase distortion or something that feels like youre sculpting digital clay to synthesize your own new sounds that no one else has. there is nothing wrong with more depth in music tools. people dont know what they want but you are sorely mistaken if you think the surveys and existing items people buy are indicative of the best gear
also yeah, you should make a hardware version of the vcv rack plateau. best sounding + best reverb params im aware of aside from my damn alesis wedge
You sir, sound like the very person that MAX/MSP was invented for?
Shimmer for days!
Sean you´re my hero
While I love the sound of UberMod I love the simplicity of say UAD plugins as they are sort of one trick ponies
Not really tho, but it´s easier to make something by reching for a box with a specific sound
Your simpler plugins are still very deep and flexible and sound lovely
If you´re thinking about doing hardware boxes then I´ll fund you 100%
★★★★★ Wait... there are other reverbs out there apart from Valhalla?! 🤔😮
Ha indeed. Well now - I didn't implicitly state it, but absolutely love my UAD plugins, where you can get an EMT 250 and Lexicon 224 and they're running the ACTUAL code from the real machines...and the other major benefit of UAD Apollos which goes beyond the 'SHARC power' thing we discussed, is that they run in real time with absolutely minimal latency using an Apollo so you can actually act like you have a real hardware unit and use an effect send from your desk, etc. I mean you can get very low latency with native plugs too, but either way it's a really nice thing.
@@mylarmelodies yes, quite lovely. Alas, I don’t have any UAD hardware so they’re out of the question for me. However... of late I’ve been seeing loads of ads for ReLab’s LX480 as it’s half price right now. Seems to have been around for a while. Do you have any experience with it?
@@ZaffinMusic Never tried it - it does claim 'authenticity' which can surely only come from ripping the code from the actual unit. I wonder if they did?
@@mylarmelodies no idea. I’m not able to check out the demo at the mo as I’m still ill in bed, but I’m curious to see what it sounds like. But I guess these are the kinds of things we get curious about when sick in bed! By the time I’m better I’ll probably have totally forgotten about it! 😄
Haha the end, abgewürcht.
At first I thought you were going to advertise chapstick or something.
Just here for the advertisement ...
Why do you say $50 as if it's almost free?
Because it makes Valhalla DSP's pricing pretty much the lowest in the entire industry, second only to iOS AU plugins and freeware.
@@mylarmelodies In the years I've been making music on the computer I've only spent ~$150 on the VSTs so $50 on just a single reverb plugin is still pretty high.
Btw, the iPhones are unreasonably expensive with nothing to make up for it unless you're already knee deep in the Apple products.
@@43chord Come on man, don't be obtuse. You know that Softube, UA, Waves (when they're not on sale, ha), Brainworx, Arturia, Slate, Fabilter, Soundtoys, basically EVERY major plugin developer sells their plugins for much higher prices than Valhalla. The fact that you've been buying cheap plugins or only on sales doesn't change the fact that their prices are well below the norm.
I totally get that even $50 might be more than someone can reasonably spend on a music tool/plugin if you are really hard up. But given that $50 is cheaper than a new Playstation game I’m afraid irrespective of your personal circumstances $50 makes these plugins objectively cheap, compared to your reasonable market alternatives. Also, he gives away a couple of his plugins for free.
Just give it a listen, mate! 50 bucks is a steal for this kind of quality sound.
