Re: [Evolver] OT convolution reverbs was Track with Evolver + old school amp remicing

2004-06-24 by Michael

Of course the best thing about convolution reverb is the ability to 
use non-space oriented impulses as an effect for delays, flanging, 
and other completely unique sound processing stuff. The pads in the 
track in particular were run through an impulse from the Spectral 
Relativity impulse library, which is pure insanity for sound 
processing. at 90%wet, it really turns sounds into something 
completely different from what they start as. Really brings new life 
to sounds :D

And as a processor for evolver, well, it's phenomenal!
