I definitely like the Abbey Road reverbs. So, still learning how to place and best use this plugin for the best result (in this case, I mean closest to the authentic effect). I’ve tried putting the plugin as an insert on the vocal track channel, but I don’t think I have the signal routing correct (patching the output of the vocal channel to the device input, then out to a its own channel strip), but it didn’t work-no signal at the second/doubled channel. I’m also not sure how the “live” versions differ from the other versions. Using intuitive controls, the doubled signal can be advanced or pushed back to achieve lush-sounding delay and pitch variations.

The effect was initially created at the studios in the 1960s to meet the needs of The Beatles. But somehow that feels like it’s not using the plugin in the way it was intended to emulate the original effect. The Reel ADT from Waves is a plug-in that emulates Abbey Road Studios' pioneering process of ADT (Artificial Double Tracking). I started out using it basically as an effect on a send/return, then panning the return to where I wanted the doubled vocal. If you’ve used one of the Reel ADT versions (Mono/Mono, Mono/Stereo, Live, etc.) on a vocal track, what have you found as a good way to route the signal path or place the plugin in the mix chain?
