Videos
• Seventh Heaven Walkthrough (07:48) - Get an overview of the controls and functions found in the basic version of Seventh Heaven convolution reverb from LiquidSonics, which is modeled on the Bricasti M7 hardware unit.
• Seventh Heaven Professional Walkthrough (10:26) - Learn about the additional features found in the professional version of Seventh Heaven, including frequency dependent decay times, alternate early reflection patterns, delay level control, ducking, and more.
• Drums (06:45) - Explore some straightforward applications of both Seventh Heaven and Seventh Heaven professional on a live multi-tracked drum kit.
• Alternate Approaches to Drum Reverb (03:16) - Hear how the non-linear presets create a gated effect on drums by incorporating an initially non-decaying reverb, followed by a quick exponential decay. Discover how longer reverbs incorporating the Ducker create the opposite effect by ducking the reverb tail except for the back beats, where the tail blooms rather than gates after each snare hit.
• Lead Guitar (04:56) - Follow along as both Seventh Heaven and Seventh Heaven Professional are set up for a lead guitar sound. Delay set to quarter-note triplets is used to match the swung feel of the track. Pre delay and ducking are also incorporated to help differentiate the dry and wet portion of the blended signals.
• Rhythmic Vocal Reverb (07:06) - Explore three different approaches to vocal reverb, each using different Seventh Heaven impulses and various features for subtle a rhythmic effect.
• Snaps (03:00) - See how the Ducker?s attack and release envelopes are used to establish a dramatic rhythmic bloom on the reverb tail of finger snaps.
• String Quartet (01:31) - Hear a very deliberate shared space created for a string quartet in action using the Seventh Heaven Scoring Stage setting. Designed to establish an identifiable and pronounced reverb tail, it acts to glue the performance together, as the space itself becomes an element that reenforces and emphasizes the emotional impact of the music.
• Multi-Channel Reverb (05:30) - Learn about the new surround functions and features built in to Seventh Heaven Professional v.1.4 and higher.
