IK bring one of the West Coast’s iconic studios to your DAW in new detail.
Some processors arrive in your plug‑in folder with a flourish. Others creep in unnoticed, and gradually worm their way into your affections. I don’t even remember installing IK’s original Sunset Sound Reverb, but I’ve come to depend on it quite a bit in the last year or two. As the name suggests, it recreates all of the reverberation options on offer to clients at the eponymous Los Angeles studio, including three live rooms, multiple chambers, isolation booths, plates and even an AKG BX20 spring. The chambers in particular add instant magic to almost any vocal, whilst the plates and the live spaces likewise provide highly usable results with minimal tweaking.
Short of firing impulses into the car park and accounts office, you might think this leaves little scope for a version 2, but IK have other ideas. Sunset Sound Studio Reverb II presents the same sources of reverberation as the original, but does a lot more with them.
