EMT 140 - WET Button

What's up with the WET button on the EMT 140 plugin? Does anyone ever have the thing engaged? It makes things SO reverb heavy that it's unusable. Is there some kind of trick that alluding me that allows you to use the WET button without it making the reverb so over the top ridiculous? I like some of the sounds I get from this plugin, but I can never seem to find one usable tone with the WET button engaged.

What's everyone's favorite UA Reverb plugin? The EMT 140 is the only I own and have tried, and that's because it came free with my Apollo. I've been thinking of giving the other EMT a demo run. I like the Pro Tools Studio Reverb as well as the AIR Multi-Reverb. I really liked the Waves H-Reverb while I had that demo; I'd buy it if it wasn't $170!

Thanks,
-Adam

The wet button is when you want to hear the effect of it, as well as using it as a send and return fx.

Mine is the Ams rx16, btw :)

Oh, so setting it up so you're mixing the straight dry signal with the straight wet signal? I'm probably gonna try out the RX16 demo too. I have a couple $50 coupons that expire at the end of the month, so I pretty much have free reign over demos, since they'll all reset when I buy a plugin before the month runs out. Unfortunately the two coupons have all kinds of stipulations; you can't use them together. I'm assuming that everyone has the same two I have, right?

While on the reverb topic, I've been thinking about buying a Behringer V-Verb Pro REV2496 outboard unit when one turns up. I usually wouldn't touch any Behringer product with a 30 foot pole, but the V-Verb Pro REV2496 gets insanely good reviews; I don't think I've ever read a bad one.

Hi Adam.

It comes on full wet. You can adjust the mix to vary the percentage of reverb to signal. Another way to use this is to create a bus track in your DAW, insert the 140 full wet on that track, and in your DAW create a send from the track(s) to which you want reverb. (But don't put reverb on the dry track(s).) Then during mixdown you can blend the dry track(s) with the reverb-only track.

You can even send multiple tracks to the reverb bus track, and get by with using only one reverb plug-in - the one on the reverb bus track. For example you can send all the harmony tracks, and even the lead vocal to the same reverb track. That would be where you would add the reverb to the vocal tracks.

So when you send a track to the Wet Reverb Aux Track does the level on the bus send control how much Reverb gets onto the track?

You can most likely select that yes. You can do pre-fader or post-fader, depending what you like most. I can select that in Cubase :)
