Watch Mike Thornton’s show & tell video of the earlier versions of both of these excellent reverbs and find out why they are his ‘go to’ reverb plug-ins.
Watch, the man behind Exponential Audio, Michael Carnes’ excellent reverb 101 tutorial. He has been working on reverb hardware starting with the Lexicon PCM90 and all the subsequent units and plug-ins until he left Lexicon to set up Exponential Audio. As a result Michael knows a huge amount about reverb and in this video he expands and demonstrates all the basic principles of reverb including early reflections, diffusion and reverb to name but a few.
