Perfect For Bringing Energy To Your Mix
SSL GateVerb is a non-linear gated reverb that gives your tracks added space and depth, all while maintaining a super clean mix. Its intuitive interface allows you to shape reverb characteristics with speed and precision, whether you're crafting tight, impactful drum tracks or creating expansive soundscapes, GateVerb has got you covered.
Traditional ‘linear’ reverbs maintain consistent decay patterns and tonal characteristics, often emulating natural spaces, like halls or cathedrals. Non-linear takes reverb deep into the creative realm, altering the decay patterns in unnatural ways, creating complex, evolving reverb that varies in intensity and character. Non-linear reverb originated from the 1970s onward as engineers explored digital signal processing. Its instantly recognizable sound can be found on tracks such as ‘Hounds of Love’ (Kate Bush), ‘Smalltown Boy’ (Bronski Beat) and ‘Kiss’ (Prince) from the 70s’ and 80s’- and is still just as popular today, in modern and electronic productions including ‘You’re Not Good Enough’ (Blood Orange), ‘When I Needed You’ (Carly Rae Jepsen), and ‘Lost In Your Light feat. Miguel (Dua Lipa).
Modern producers use non-linear reverbs to add unique sonic textures and dynamic changes to a track. They offer more control over the reverb tail, enabling creative effects like gated reverb. This can make a track stand out and add depth without losing punch, as the reverb doesn't have long tails that can muddy the mix. Its range of comprehensive reverb controls includes Density, Time, Colour, Size, and Retro settings. In addition to this, GateVerb also offers ducking with sidechaining, and introduces the ability to time-sync the pre-delay and time parameters to the tempo of your DAW.
