another free spring reverb plugin with a lofi twist has been released this week
Bedroom Producers Blog has released Dirty Spring and this one can be clean or dirty and what on
earth is a kick button on a reverb plugin well I'm going to check that out and we'll
go over some of the controls plus we're going to give it a listen of course i'm Zane welcome
to Audio Tech TV I've included a link down in the description to the Bedroom Producer's Blog so you
can head over there grab this one for yourself but right now let's jump in and check this thing out
all right so that was just a bit of a listen on an acoustic guitar track
here's the guitar without it so you can have a reference of what it sounds like
so can sound pretty good on there depending on how you dial it in i have it as an insert plugin
on here but i also have it as a bus plugin on some other tracks that we'll check out later on
and first let's just kind of look at what's going on here so it has a nice clean user interface for
a plugin that's called Dirty Spring it's nice and clean
which isn't bad because it makes it easy to use so the first control we have here is pre which
is your pre-delay and this can kind of turn this into like a delay or echo effect so we'll decrease
the decay and we'll just kind of increase this and you'll see what i mean by delay or echo here
so yeah you can use this kind of like a delay or echo if you wanted by using that pre-delay
and then we have our decay knob which adjusts the amount of decay for the reverb then up here
we have our mix so you can control how much the reverb effect is going to go to the track
and it's very helpful for using this as an insert or as a bus effect you can do both
you have a tone and if you turn it to the right it's going to make your signal more bright you
turn it to the left and it's going to make it dull then over here we have this kick button
so what is a kick button on a reverb well if you've ever kicked or knocked or heard a spring
reverb being bumped you kind of know what it is it's exactly that it's kicking the spring reverb
and it just kind of gives you a preview of what the reverb sounds like so you can use it to listen
to the reverb or you could use it as some sort of creative instrument because this can be automated
so you can put it on a track and automate this and have some interesting instrument out of it
yeah some cool stuff can be done there and then finally at the bottom we have our dirt and there's
a few different settings in here this is a bit crusher section so it's going to degrade the
sound quality of the reverb which you might wonder why you'd want to do that well because sometimes
having something interesting like that can really change a song so
let's just look at the different ones you have here you have low mid high plus mpc c64 and wtf so
let's just have a listen to all of these i'm going to put it onto a drum track now and with this one
i actually have it on a bus so you can see i have the mix to 100 and let's just check out this dirt
so yeah you can hear some of them are pretty subtle and some of them
are really in your face and just play around with it on your track to see what suits it of course
you can just turn it off if you want and have a nice clean spring reverb so now let's just test
this out on an electric guitar hear what that sounds like again this is on a bus so here it is
so yeah you can come up with some interesting effects for your guitars
