  • Unlock Your Creativity with these Dynamic Reverb Choices!



    Reverb is one of the most powerful tools in a producer’s arsenal. It can create depth, mood, and space—or muddy your mix beyond repair if you’re not careful. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody revisit the world of reverb, breaking down the different types available today and showing how to use them effectively across instruments.

    From lush plates to cavernous halls, tight rooms to shimmering springs, they explore the sonic fingerprints of each type. More importantly, they show you where reverb shines: what works beautifully on vocals, what adds magic to guitars, and what to avoid if you don’t want your drums sounding like they’re recorded at the bottom of a canyon.

    Chris and Jody also share their own workflows and preferences—what they personally reach for on vocals, how they blend reverbs for unique textures, and a few “hidden secrets” of layering different spaces to create a mix that breathes. Ever wondered why a vocal sounds polished and enveloping on one record, but flat on another? It often comes down to how reverb is stacked and shaped.

    You’ll walk away with recording setup tips, ideas for experimenting with reverb plugins and hardware, and the confidence to try creative approaches rather than relying on presets alone. Whether you’re building out your home studio gear or refining your pro workflow, this episode will help you unlock the emotional and spatial power of reverb in your productions.

  • Strymon BigSky Reverb Plugin. Why You Need To Know About This Amazing Plugin



    First Look at the Strymon BigSky Reverb Plugin

    For years, the Strymon BigSky pedal has been one of the most beloved tools for guitarists, producers, and sound designers alike. Its lush reverbs, expansive atmospheres, and tweakable textures have made it a studio staple. But now, Strymon has taken a bold step into the world of software with its very first plugin release: the BigSky Reverb Plugin. And Chris and Jody are here to put it through its paces.

    In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody give an early bird worm look at the plugin and explore how BigSky translates from pedalboard favorite to DAW powerhouse. They don’t just skim the surface—they dive deep into all of the reverb playgrounds this plugin offers, from classic halls and plates to the more experimental shimmer and cloud algorithms.

    What you’ll hear in this episode:

    • A breakdown of the plugin’s interface and workflow, and how it integrates with your DAW and home studio gear.
    • An in-depth tour of BigSky’s 12 reverb playgrounds, with extra focus on standout modes that make it unique.

    • For the first time ever on Inside the Recording Studio: audio examples, so you can actually hear BigSky in action as Chris and Jody test it out.
    • Honest impressions of how the plugin stacks up against the legendary hardware version.

    Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without a little nonsense, humor, and tangents along the way. But at the core, this one’s about helping you decide: is the BigSky plugin worth adding to your sonic arsenal?

    By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clear sense of what makes Strymon’s BigSky plugin different, how it can expand your creative palette, and whether it deserves a spot in your DAW toolkit.
