80s Reverb

What's everyone's favorite software solution for 80s reverb?? I want my snares to sound like they're off a Sisters of Mercy track.

Use R8 samples, half the work's done.

i already use other jerks' samples way too often, i want to create a hahathaht origianl 80s snare ok man

yamaha rx5 snare 1... (source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doktor_Avalanche - and confirmed by my ears just now). the r8 one is kinda similar though, especially if you pitch it down since it's higher and shorter. ask if ye want a pack o' rx5 samples and i can prob squeeze them on here. for reverbs (non IR verbs that is, they're always better)i haven't found anything superior to the waves ones, trueverb and Rverb but they're still not amazing. they can do passableish 80s verbs but sometimes scruffy cheap sounding reverb like freeverb2 works better for that 80s sound.

get an 80s reverb unit

lol

 

so i take it you achieve trendy effect from decade X by emulating the trend that superseeded it in decade X+1?

audiodamage reverence has a nice 80s character

one of the biggest things Ive thought about when I hear big sounding 80's style snares is how fucking crazy hard they are compressed AFTER reverb. the sound of the reverb being squashed and gated with the snare is what gives it that big sound, tweaking the dampening and eq character of the reverb for a bit and you can find what your looking for pretty easy

yeah, noise gate is essential.
