Artist usage
Add artist
Used on Bocelli's vocals for Cinema, as mentioned by sound engineer Justin Cortelyou in this February 2019 Sound on Sound interview.
At the bottom are three aux effect tracks, with Valhalla Plate, Audio Ease Altiverb (on the Haydn Hall preset), and UAD EMT 140 reverbs. Notable in the session is that by far the most plug-ins are used on the two vocal tracks. (...) "All three aux reverbs were used on Andrea's main vocal track, as well as on Matteo's vocal tracks, because the reverbs each have different characteristics and it was all about getting the right blend. The Haydn Hall makes it sound a bit more like in the big hall at AIR, and the Valhalla Plate is a little brighter and not as dense. The EMT adds some warmth. We always played around with these three to get the right combination of colours. I had this vocal chain on Andrea's vocal in every song on the album, though there will have been slight differences in settings."
In a Twitter post by strawberrius, John Fields is mentioned using the UAD EMT 140 plugin for its "smooth as silk" reverb effect on vocals.
