Studio guru Larry Holcombe takes you on a journey to Valhalla! ValhallaDsp is renown for their amazing sounding reverb and effect plug-ins, and Larry explains and explores them all with these in-depth video tutorials, all while showing their strengths and best uses along the way.
Larry welcomes you and then delves right into the Valhalla Plate Reverb, showcasing its main Reverb Parameters, EQ Section, Modulation and Plate Modes. The Valhalla Room is then revealed, including the difference between Early and Late Energy, and also its high level sliders and reverb modes.
Moving on down the road you’ll discover Valhalla Shimmer with its pitch shifting magic and its ability to turn a simple guitar part into a beautiful evolving soundscape.

very helpfull
its given me a much sronger grasp of what the valhalla plug-ins are capable of........I have all of Shawns Plugs and they are fantastic! I use "Room" as my Default Reverb.....
I am a: Hobbyist, Musician, Audio Engineer, Reaper
1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I learnt the trumpet and piano around age 12 and then guitar a couple of years later. I played in a few indie bands for a few years until I discovered the turntables and Dj'ing. I then swapped the guitar for the synthesizer and the stage for the Dj booth and the rest is history!
2. What training have you had?
I completed a diploma in sound engineering and music technology from islington Music Workshop in London. I am also level 1 certified in Logic. The most important training I have received though is sitting for hours on end at my studio making music!
3. When did you get into recording?
Recording demos for the indie bands I mentioned earlier. Then recording vocals for my tracks as DEF inc. and laterally Rebel Sonix. I also worked in London studio Rollover in around 2005.
4. People you have worked with/for?
I've remixed Coldplay, Kylie, Roots Manuva and John B. Labels I have released on include Parlaphone, EMI, Fingerlickin, Eight Fx, Quantum, Botchit and Scarper amongst others. I have composed music for Sony Playstation games, Sky tv, J&B Whiskey, Lexus cars and the BBC to name a few. I have produced online tutorial videos and have had a 1 hour production video in Music Techs magazines cover DVD. I have also Dj'ed at events such as Glastonbury festival and Miami WMC and touring extensively all over the world.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
Well hopefully I have a clear and concise training method mixed with a serious passion for making music. I have previously worked for Apple teaching Logic and also regularly lecture on Logic and electronic music production. I also teach the Ministry of Sound DJ academy in London which involves teaching an introduction to Djing as well as in depth seminars on using NI's Traktor and also Serato Scratch Live. As a producer making cutting edge electronic music, I have to remain at the forefront of new sounds and production techniques. I mix my time between different areas of the music industry - production, remixing, DJing and also teaching which allows me to develop all those skills simultaneously - so I can improve my teaching ability whilst also continuing to develop as a producer (something which you never stop doing!)
