Rafa Sardina Spaces brings the signature reverb chains of Grammy and Latin Grammy-winning engineer Rafa Sardina directly into Overloud REmatrix. Created by sampling Sardina’s personal reverb setups at Afterhours Studios in Los Angeles, the library captures not simply individual reverb processors, but the complete signal chains he uses to shape depth, dimension, and character in a mix.
 
Rather than capturing reverb units in isolation, Rafa Sardina Spaces incorporates the additional analog processing that gives Sardina’s reverbs their distinctive sound. His hardware reverbs are routed through the studio’s legendary EMI mixing console along with API and Pultec equalization, allowing the resulting impulse responses to retain the coloration and character of the complete processing chain.
 
The collection includes captures created from an exceptional selection of studio reverb processors, including the AKG ADR 68K, Eventide H8000, Eventide 2016, Bricasti M7, Sony DRE-S777, and Lexicon 960L.
 
200 IRs and 230 Ready-to-Use Presets
Rafa Sardina Spaces includes 200 impulse responses and 230 presets, with presets specifically designed for applications including vocals, percussion, guitars, keyboards, and acoustic instruments. The library also includes the processing required to reproduce dynamic and nonlinear elements of the original reverb chains, providing considerably more than a collection of basic static reverb captures.
 
The presets provide immediate access to finished reverb sounds while still allowing the individual IRs to serve as building blocks for creating customized spaces within REmatrix.

The combination of digital and hardware reverbs with analog console and EQ processing provides a broad range of spaces, from polished vocal ambience and dimensional rooms to larger, more colorful reverbs for instruments and complete productions.
 
REmatrix Player Included
Rafa Sardina Spaces is designed for Overloud REmatrix and also includes the REmatrix Player plug-in at no additional charge. REmatrix Player allows the included IRs and presets to be used without purchasing the full version of REmatrix.
 
Owners of the full REmatrix plug-in gain expanded editing and sound-design capabilities, including its multilayer convolution architecture for combining and shaping multiple impulse responses into entirely new reverb environments.
