St. Barts Reverb Plugin
A plug-in that captures the reverb of a neo-gothic church that you can apply to your music.
St. Barts Reverb
St. Bartholomew’s is a neo-gothic church in Brighton (UK), and is widely considered to be the tallest parish church in Britian with potentially the largest volume due to it’s non-standard shape - it’s huge!
Years ago I recorded the reverberant characteristics of the space and used it in my undergraduate teaching.
More recently, I’ve turned it into a Plug-In (Standalone, VST3, AU). Read about the story behind it and how I created it in this blog post.
Take a listen here, download it, and use it in your own music - it’s free!
