Software Plugins and VSTs used by Beck on Morning Phase
Used on vocals for Morning Phase, as stated in this May 4, 2014 Audio Technology interview with mix engineer Tom Elmhirst.
Elmhirst: “I love the Orban plug-in, and now also have a real Orban. But I didn’t use a lot of spring reverb on this album, because it had a different kind of sound. As I said earlier, the D-Verb Mark 1 was quite a big part of this record. Beck is a big fan of that plug-in, as am I. It’s very transparent. I probably EQ-ed it a bit on the way back in, and particularly on the vocals I used very long reverb settings, in some cases as long as 11 to 12 seconds. The other two plug-ins I used on the vocals are the Waves De-esser and a bit of brightening from the Waves API 550a.”
