Why do our reverbs sound the way they sound?
First of all, we are a well-reputed recording and mixing studio based in Sweden. Our gear is always in perfect condition. Moreover, every decision we make is based on careful listening and over 20 years of experience. In addition, all work is done in a fully controlled acoustic environment with precise ATC monitoring.
We know that reverb plugins in a DAW never sound exactly like real analog or digital hardware reverbs, especially when used through an analog console. Therefore, we aim to make our impulse responses (IRs) sound as close as possible to our original hardware reverbs.
To achieve this, we have invested significant time and effort in creating countless IRs. Furthermore, we always test them by running them back through our analog console during mixing. As a result, we can ensure that each impulse response matches the true tone, depth, and character of the real unit.
Unlike others, we don’t travel to different studios or rely on external files. Instead, we capture every IR here at Nevo Studios, using the same signal chain as in our analog mixes. Finally, if it sounds good enough for us, we believe it will sound good enough for you too.
