FABRIK R STUDIO
Reverb Types
• Select one of the 9 Reverb types using the left mouse
button.
Fabrik Live
Live recorded audio sources sometimes have a lot of
background noise. A very smooth discrete reverb on such
a source will often be almost in-audible. What you need is
a brighter and grainier reverb for that type of audio
material, and the Live reverb is perfect for that job. Try
medium to long decay times and have a listen. The Live
reverb type also does wonders for vocals or instruments
that need a clear and to the point reverb. Try it on
different material and you’ll be surprised with the results.
Two Studio Konnekt 48 comes with two variations of this
algorithm. Experiment and listen to the differences.
Fabrik Hall
Often you’re concerned about preserving the natural
characteristics of your source material, and reluctant to
apply “large” reverbs. Don’t worry, the Hall reverb will
preserve your audio and add a large hall effect giving you
lots of natural sounding “space”. For most vocal material
this reverb is superior to many other reverbs and will be
an excellent choice for various studio applications.
Fabrik Plate
Welcome back in time! In the old days reverberating
springs or large metallic plates were used to create a
reverb effect. The Plate reverb emulates this
characteristic type of reverb. If you’re working with a
recording of percussive instruments, it will often call for a
diffuse, bright and light reverb, and the Plate is just
perfect for that job.
Fabrik Club
This reverb could be exactly what the doctor ordered if
you want to put extra focus on the guitar or the vocals. It
emulates a medium-sized club, adding a broad yet
intimate feel to your audio material. If you’ve got a
recorded guitar that cries out for reverb, but you don’t
want the “stadium rock” sound, the Club reverb will do
the trick, well, that goes for vocals and horns too.
Fabrik Room
The Fabrik Room algorithm simulates a relatively small,
well furnished room. In such a room, many reflections are
absorbed by soft materials, and the sound is reflected
and sustained only by the walls (covered with wallpaper),
windows and maybe some furniture.
Fabrik Box
The Fabrik Box algorithm defines and excels in
reproducing the reflection patterns of a small box. If the
“in your face”-feeling of a 100% dry recording is too
much, try this eminent reverb to create just a bit of
distance.
Fabrik Ambient
With focus on the Early Reflections that define the
perception of a room size, the Ambience Reverb is
typically used on dry recordings or dry drum samples to
emulate a feeling of environment. “Ambience” and
“Room definition” are keywords here.
Fabrik Spring
The Spring algorithm has been designed to reproduce the
sound of the old spring reverbs, such as the ones used in
vintage guitar amps.
