The Sunset Sound Studios complex consists of three different rooms. The studio’s console preamps and signal paths for each room were meticulously modeled so that the end results are practically “indistinguishable from recordings made in the actual rooms,” according to IK Multimedia. The impulse responses (IRs) were captured through the Sunset Sound’s own microphone collection. Complete with models of the studio’s consoles and preamps, the results are as close as you can get to actually recording in the historic spaces where some of the world’s most famous recordings were made. Sunset Sound Studio Reverb (SSSR) is a reverb plug-in that gives you access to all of the venerated studio’s live rooms, chambers, and isolation booths, and several of their mechanical reverbs.

Could a reverb plug-in really capture the sound of a world-class recording studio? You bet it could.
