Chapter 2 – Quick Start Guide
 Launch the Waves Abbey Road Reverb Plates plugin on your reverb aux buss or
track insert.
 Send a signal to the reverb aux and listen to it through the default preset.
 Set the Damper value that fits your overall sound image.
 Change the Plate Selector to find the precise plate reverb sound you want. Each
plate reverb sounds different, depending on the spring, the type of amplifier
engine, and the plate sheet itself.
 If the overall sound has more low frequencies than you need, use the Bass Cut
control to decrease them.
 Use the PreDelay control to get a delay between the dry signal and the wet
reverb sound. We suggest using 15 ms for instruments and 40 ms for vocals.
This is only a suggestion, however; use whichever delay time best serves the mix
in your view.
 Use the Treble control to brighten up the overall reverb sound.
 The Drive and Analog controls allow you to add, or to turn off, the modeled THD
behavior and noise-and-hum levels.
