Hitsville Reverb Chambers is a reverb plugin from Universal Audio that models the two attic reverb chambers above the Hitsville U.S.A. studio, the spaces behind the Motown sound. It is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
Universal Audio built Hitsville Reverb Chambers to capture the reverb character of the attic chambers above the Hitsville U.S.A. studio. The developer says it worked with the original Motown engineers who built those spaces. The plugin offers two custom-built chambers, each with its own speaker and mic selections, so producers can add a classic room ambience to vocals, drums and percussion. Universal Audio also includes Dynamic Room Modeling, which lets you move the chamber mics in realtime.
Hitsville Reverb Chambers models two reverb spaces that Universal Audio describes as essential to the Motown sound. The developer says it captured their distinct character with help from the engineers who originally built them.
The plugin is aimed at reverb on vocals, handclaps, tambourines and triangles. Each chamber offers its own speaker and mic selections, so you can shape the ambience to suit a track.
The controls are kept simple, so you can add the reverb quickly. Dynamic Room Modeling lets you move the chamber mics in realtime, which Universal Audio presents as a way to go beyond the original recording positions and find more presence and detail.
Two versions are included. UAD Native runs on a Mac or PC without UA hardware. Apollo Realtime and UAD-2 versions run accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware.
