“How a recording-studio mishap shaped ’80s music” and 80′s Spaces

One of our clients who bought Nomad Factory’s 80′s Spaces pointed out this great video he found called “How a recording-studio mishap shaped ’80s music”. It tells of the story how the famous 80′s gated reverb sound was discovered and spread throughout the recording industry to define the 80′s Sound.

In this video, Vox Pop Earworm tells the story of how a unique reverb space was created and who was responsible for discovering it. It became a favourite and ended up defining a decade’s musical signature. Recent examples are also discussed to show how this ‘sound’ has come back into fashion. This video is definitely worth watching as it as tells you what Nomad Factory was aiming for when 80′s Spaces was developed.

The name says it all. 80′s Spaces is an original “80′s vibe” plug-in that is totally in sync with the return of the “sound” that made a great musical era. It is surely the most original and creative plug-in ever built by Nomad Factory.

It “magically” reproduces the typical reverbs and space effect units used by legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Duran Duran, Guns ‘N’ Roses, Tears for Fears, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, U2, Eurythmics, George Michael, Phil Collins, Queen and so many others.

Your classic gated reverbs, lush, cavernous and sweeping tails, short rooms and chorused verbs are all here. With minimal adjustments the user-friendly interface allows you to adjust the dry/wet control, chorus, decay, gate, filter and other parameters to get just the effect you require.

Presets are provided by MoReVoX and Nomad Factory engineers to get you started.
