80's Spaces
USER MANUAL
v 2.3.0
Welcome
The best reverbs from the 80s Era!
Nomad Factory, Plugivery and MoReVoX teamed up to bring you the ultimate "80's Vibe" reverb plug-in.
The typical "80s gated reverbs", super lush cavernous and sweeping tails, short rooms and chorused verbs are all there with minimal adjustments required. These allow you to quickly dial in, professional sounding reverb effects, and add them to your audio recordings.
The new version of the 80s Spaces plug-in offers even more impulse responses and presets than ever before:
- 250 high quality convolution IRs (+80 with v2)
- 12 reference reverb models (+5 with v2)
- 510 well organized presets (+110 with v2)
Have fun!
