Universal Audio is giving away the lovely Pure Plate Reverb plugin until December 24, 2024.
This holiday season freebie is the developer’s way of saying thank you to customers, new and old.
You can download Pure Plate for free until Christmas Eve (December 24, 2024), when it will return to its regular price.
The regular price is actually a little irregular; you’ll see it listed anywhere from $29 to $149 throughout the year. Whatever the price, it’s a fantastic plugin and a great addition to anyone’s toolkit.
If you already own Pure Plate, like I do, you’ll receive a special 10% discount code to ensure you don’t feel left out. Although it’s harder to get excited about a 10% discount than it is a free plugin, what can you do?
It’s been a busy week or two for reverb plugins; Denise Audio released Perfect Room 2 with an introductory discount, and we checked out the free Subtle Spaces from Fine Classic Plugins.
Universal Audio previously took on one of the most iconic plate reverbs ever made with the EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator plugin, which combines three different EMT 140 units.
Pure Plate takes the same painstakingly detailed modeling process and packages it in a simple, easy-to-use plugin.
With only a handful of controls, it’s easy to get fast results with Pure Plate.
You can reduce low-frequency content using the Low Cut Filter; when set to 90 or 180, a 12 dB per octave high pass filter is applied to the reverb signal.
The Predelay ranges from 0 to 250 ms.
The Reverb Time meter shows the reverb duration, which you can adjust between 0.5 and 5.5 seconds in increments of 0.1 seconds.
You also get some tone controls that allow you to boost or attenuate the Bass or Treble by +/-12 dB.
You can shape the reverb further with the Balance control, which balances the level between the left and right channels.
The Mix control and Wet Solo switch determine how much of the wet signal the plugin outputs.
There’s a certain lushness that you only get from a plate reverb, and Pure Plate does it right. It’s also tempting to hide behind that lushness, but the right amount on the right source is epic.
Pure Plate features presets from Patrick Carney (The Black Keys), Chuck Zwicky (Prince, The Time), and more.
It’s a Christmas treat!
