I have recently got acces to new studio premises, which is a converted Attic above a small industrial unit. The Live Room has an extremely dead sound, the cieling is on about 8ft high.

When recording drums they are very dry sounding with no ambience at all. I am lookinf to see what Reverb or Room Simulator units people would recommend for making the drums sound as if they are in a room.

The Reverb Units I have are a Midiverb 2, Alesis Quadraverb, Lexicon Reflex and Roland Space Echo RE-201.

A friend Mentioned either the Lexicon MPX 550, or if i could fin an old Yamaha REV1.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'd recommend using a convolution reverb plugin within a DAW system.

As for outboard stuff, I think the TC's in general tend to be more natural and realistic like an actual room.
 
i've been grooving REAL HARD on SIR lately. some of the impulses available for that thing are really quite staggering.


cheers,

i'm sure a lot of people will say "convolution reverbs" (which are great, no doubt.) i've only tried convo' impulses at a friend's place, dont have a plugin myself. if i want the sound of a live room, i usually reamp a track in a real room with a live sound as a sort of makeshift reverb chamber. but barring that, i love the sound of silverspike's roommachine 844. i can get similar sounds from realverb and my lexicon units, but roommachine adds a certain punch/funk to the sound. give it a try. IT'S FREE.

Kurzweil KSP-8 or Kurzweil Rumour........ for the price nothing comes close.....
 
Get a big old school plate reverb. HA :) but seriously a big frumpy old plate sounds so so nice.
 
Thr Rumour has an abundance of reverb, delay, chorus, flange and "special" applications and completely usable converters
