A Character Reverb Inspired by the Classics
At Sweetwater, reverb is a food group. From natural ambience to blatant effect, it can enhance our music in many ways. Iconic reverb units have dotted the history of recorded music. Engineers wax poetic about the first time they used — or simply heard — some of the great reverb hardware spanning the past several decades. Michael Carnes lent his design expertise to some of these units, and his R4 plug-in is the next reverb in this exalted procession. The R4 delivers the sonic bliss of the best historic hardware reverb units, but it offers many new features only made possible by modern software development technology. As R4 is a native plug-in, it requires no special hardware and offers great flexibility with minimal load on your computer’s CPU. R4 is a class act and on its way to becoming a modern classic.

Cool new features
Michael Carnes felt that certain elements, such as overdrive, would be beneficial in warming and fattening up a reverb, so he added a Warp section with an overdrive circuit as well as compression and expansion. We’ve all noticed that when reverb levels remain static, louder parts of a mix sometimes sound too wet; so R4 includes dynamic tail suppression. How about tempo-controllable pre-delay? R4 has it covered. With over 1,200 killer presets and handy tool tips, R4 is primed to enhance your tracks right out of the box.
