Get the legendary ambiance of a world-class NYC tracking room
HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6 is a convolution reverb plug-in for use in your DAW of choice, developed with Troy Germano, CEO of The Hit Factory Studios. HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6 delivers the sound of The Hit Factory’s Studio 6 in NYC, a 26’ x 22’ x 15’ tracking room known for a more intimate, tighter reverb sound than the previously released Studio 1… thanks in no small part to the large glasswork between the control room, tracking room, and iso booths. You instantly get both the vibe and ambiance of The Hit Factory’s Studio 6 in NYC — and you don’t even have to book session time or fly to New York.
HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6’s impulse responses are the real deal — they were produced right within Studio 6 itself: the hallowed room responsible for the reverb heard on platinum records from artists like Sting, The Darkness, Nelly, and Dream Theater.
Available in AAX, VST3, and AU formats for Mac and Windows, HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6 has been designed to be easy to use for even the first-time producer, while delivering audio quality that professionals demand.
A Legendary Tracking Room.
HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6 provides a world-class impulse response of Studio 6: a medium-sized (26’ x 22’ x 15’) tracking room in NYC. Studio 6 was as close to recording in a fishbowl as could be imagined. The live room consisted of one large studio with two adjacent iso booths. The glasswork that separated the rooms to the control room allowed for a certain closeness between musicians when cutting tracks or recording solo instruments. Studio 6 provides a tighter reverb than other Hit Factory rooms; a dream for rock drums and vocals.
Full control.
HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6 gives you full control over your virtual mic distance as well as position, including height and width. You get three mic options to choose from: Neumann® U67s, Coles® 4038 Studio Ribbons, and Sennheiser® MKH 800 Twins.
You’ll start with the true-to-life tone of a phenomenal acoustic space… but you get plenty of controls to make it your own. Shape controls include low and high-cut filters and tail length… and you can even add or remove carpet to the floor at the click of a button to dampen reflections or open them up. Separate controls let you dial in the right balance between early reflections and tail signals of your reverb.
You also get several presets created by top studio engineers, and it’s easy to store and recall your own.
Convolution; Not Convoluted.
As distinct from analog reverb processors like plates, chambers, or springs, convolution reverb is a digital reverb type that is created using impulse responses recorded in real-world physical environments. Test signals like sweeps and white noise are played in the desired acoustic space and recorded through various microphones — usually a matched stereo pair. Once captured, this impulse response data is used to accurately recreate the behavior of an acoustic space as it applies to musical sources.
Some reverbs can be hard to use, presenting too many tweaky options at the expense of usability. We made sure to design HitVerb 54th Street Studio 6 with a streamlined, intuitive UI that’s easily understandable by everyone.
