hey what's going on out there i'm sean divine hope you all are doing well
today's video i'm gonna give you an inside look at the brand new cla ecosphere plug-in from waves got
my hands on this a little bit early so i could test it out you guys have seen that i will set
up delays and reverbs and use them in tandem to give us some unique spaces and vibey effects it
has both a slap delay and a plate reverb combined and then we're able to blend them with this nice
mixer interface we can control the dry wet mix we can control the parameters of the slap delay
and the plate independently it's just very easy to create a unique space without having to go between
a couple of different plugins to make this happen and there's some unique things happening tonally
we're going to build something from scratch let me play back the dry vocal and we'll dive in
seeing the light at the end of the tunnel no time to debate it woke up this morning my feet
to the floor and the darkness is fading and you know it comes back around like the hope i
found and when i lift you up will you hold me down all right so that gives you an idea of
what we're dealing with with the lead so i've got my main vocal chain we're just running it
down here and i'm sending out to the cla ecosphere at full mix on the send i'm going to turn the dry
wet all the way up and then we're going to blend these accordingly but let's start with the slap
delay so i'm just going to mute the plate we'll bring both of these down and i'll bring this in
slowly so with the slap this is based on a tape slap technique those of you who are not familiar
they used to do this a lot more with vintage tape machines where they would manipulate the
speed of the tape so the ips here represented 30 15 seven and a half but let's start off with the
the vso or the ips at 30 and let's slowly bring it in and see what this sounds like
seeing the light at the end of the tunnel no time to debate it
woke up this morning my feet to the floor and the darkness
this is where it gets interesting when we start to blend it now with an independent plate reverb and
this is a really nice sounding plate we can go all the way up to 20 seconds on there so you can get
some massive washy vibey sounds but we're going to go for something a little bit more subtle today
at about maybe three and three seconds three and a half seconds we'll start there
and uh let's just bring this up and hear what it does seeing the light at the end of the tunnel no
time to debate it woke up this morning my feet to the floor and the darkness is fading you know it
comes back around like the hope i found and when i lift you up will you hold me down you know it
keeps getting harder when we get further away from who we were meant to be you keep on reminding me
seeing the light at the end of the tunnel no time to debate it woke up this morning my feet to the
floor and the darkness is faded you know it comes back around so let's mess with the the modulation
here on the plate you see we've got that on both the slap delay as well as the plate and it gives
you some very interesting kind of vintage wobbly sorts of artifacts here on the tail of the reverb
seeing the light at the end of the tunnel no time to debate it
woke up this morning my feet to the floor and the darkness is fading
you hear that so let's uh blend this in the context of the mix love the fact that we've got
our own interface here where we just dialed those in independently and now we can create that blend
just saves a lot of time to have this set up this way on one aux seeing the light at the end of the
tunnel no time to debate it woke up this morning my feet to the floor and the darkness is fading
you know it comes back around like the hope i found and when i lift you up so let's try a
quarter note delay on the uh the slap seeing the light at the end of the tunnel time to debate it
woke up this morning my feet to the floor and the darkness is fading and you know it comes
back around taking this one step further we can actually route the slap into the plate directly
so rather than blending them independently now we're going to get just a whole world of other
possibilities so make sure that the routing is set to plate that's just going to send the slap into
the plate reverb and then we can also control the amount that we're sending to that so i'll probably
increase that and then adjust the fader to give us more of a noticeable effect here you know it
comes back around like the hope i found and when i lift you up will you hold me down you know it
keeps getting harder when we get further away from who we were meant to be you keep on reminding me
so now we get the slap but we get that space of the plate the tail on that combined so if
i turn it off with just this blend it's going to be very very different with them independent
you know it comes back around like the hope i found and when i lift you up will you hold me
down you know it keeps getting harder when we get further away from who we were meant to be you keep
make it through the struggles ain't no slave to sin
we get something that fits really well into the mix and i'm finding that as i was experimenting
with this routing that this way works really well for vocals so that you can get the width
you can get the interesting texture of that slap but then we're feeding it into
this really nice plate reverb in terms of just the setup and the interface of this
this is something that's going to save a lot of time to have this particular
combination of effects right here and able to blend them accordingly so check it out
i'm going to put a link to cla ecosphere in the description below if you have any questions or
comments feel free to leave those as well i'm also going to let you download this preset so you can
get up and running with echo sphere we'll put a link to that hope you guys enjoy it if you learn
