The Universal Audio Capitol Chambers plug-in brings the legendary sound of the classic echo chambers designed by Les Paul right to your fingertips. These echo chambers, made famous by pioneering engineers like UA founder Bill Putnam Sr. and the genius Les Paul himself, are renowned for their natural sound and dense ambience. Built from reinforced concrete and tuned with sloped ceilings and a trapezoidal shape, Paul's designs deliver a smooth, balanced decay and a completely natural room tone that simply can't be replicated in any other way.
With the Capitol Chambers plug-in, you have unparalleled control over your spatial and time response. The Position slider allows you to reposition the chamber mics, eliminating the need for an assistant engineer. From the stock positions that provide maximum distance, to direct speaker-to-microphone effects and proximity characteristics, this plug-in allows you to subtly enhance vocals, drums, or strings, immersing them in the most natural and complex reverb ever recorded.
Harnessing UA's award-winning Dynamic Room Modeling technology, the Capitol Chambers plug-in takes your audio to the next level. This technology, a combination of physical modeling and advanced measurement techniques, sets the plug-in apart from standard convolution reverbs. While convolution reverbs offer a static sonic snapshot, Dynamic Room Modeling provides nearly infinite ambient possibilities. You can explore a rich and evolving soundstage that is both realistic and dynamic.
To further enhance your music production experience, the Capitol Chambers plug-in comes with a selection of meticulously crafted presets from a roster of Grammy-winning engineers and producers. With presets from industry icons like Al Schmitt, Mark Linett, Frank Filipetti, and Darrell Thorp, you can experiment and explore settings used by professionals who are intimately familiar with Capitol's famous chambers. Benefit from their expertise and infuse your music with the same signature sound that has shaped countless hit records.
