点评:UA EP-34磁带回声

If you've got a UAD-2 and you haven't tried out the Universal Audio EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in, Rich Tozzoli presents compelling reasons why you simply need to check it out.  

通用EP-34插件特刊磁带回音,他们的UAD-2平台上运行,是基于经典的回送EP3和EP4硬件。原单位在1959年首次生产,用实际的无限磁带循环,管和滑动记录头给它厚厚的,温暖的回声。但保持他们保持和运行是一个很大的挑战。这就是为什么我们很幸运能有这种老式的声音插件的形式提供给我们的。但你如何实际时间相呼应,以适合您的会议吗?让我们来看一看。

同步起来

上回送的硬件,你将有实际移动滑块,这将改变磁头之间的距离,因此,缩短或延长延迟时间。然而,在软件的精彩世界,插件版本,包括没有发现在原单位的一些功能。其中之一是速度的同步开关,它会自动同步到你的DAW会议的节拍(BPM)的单位。

节奏同步开关


考虑到这一点,如果你希望EP34自动同步您的会话回声节奏,同步开关设置为ON。要移动的延迟时间,只要抓住滑块手柄(在顶部),或滑块鼻子(正下方)和向左或向右移动。

抢滑块鼻子调整相呼应的长度。


一旦你有那一套,然后打开的回声重复旋钮选择所需的金额将听到的重复。凉爽的效果,转动该旋钮大约12点钟的位置。单位将进入什么叫自激振荡,重复会重复自己,创造有被听到的声音,这个野生。只要把它背下来停止振荡的效果。


自定义同步

如果你不想要同步会议的BPM的节奏,简单地设置了同步开关。现在,当您移动滑块手柄或滑块的鼻子,节奏将不再是您的会话同步。相反的酒吧值,回声显示窗口将显示在毫秒回波时间(再次,从80到700)。通常情况下,它实际上不设置回波值的会议BPM的凉爽。通过这样做,可以让他们坐在后面,或推动歌曲的节奏,这可以是一个很好的效果。

只有软件版本上发现的另一种选择是湿的开关。打开它,EP-34是100%的湿,干未处理的信号是静音。这往往是最好使用一个辅助通道,发送控制信号发送到回声的金额时,插件。

湿开关


当放置的直接通道(如吉他)EP34插件,尝试切换湿开关设置为OFF。要调整的干/湿效果(创建你干的吉他和处理回波信号之间的混合),使用回声的音量旋钮。此旋钮湿开关上时有没有影响,所以它只能用于当其关闭。

在EP34插件是一个了不起的工具,有你的DAW钻机。 。这个世界没有别的,尤其是主唱,吉他,键盘,甚至鼓循环,听起来很喜欢。所以节奏同步在打开和关闭,将这些滑块,并试验不同的延迟时间。你永远不知道什么合适,直到您尝试。

How would you compare the sound and versatility of this plug-in to the Roland Re-201 emulation from UA? I know they have different sounds but they are similar enough to warrant comparison, I would say. With UA's current sell this month, I'm thinking of getting either one or both.

The one seems great on guitars and such while the Roland seems more versatile and characterful, so far, to my ears while demoing them. Both sound great.

BJ, yes the 201 can be a bit cleaner and the EP34 tends to have more grit. I tend to use the EP more on guitars, and the 201 on keys and so on.

Plus with the 201 you can separately pan the Echo and Reverb, which is nice.

Cant go wrong with both tools,
