Here's a Spotify playlist of some of the best gated reverb songs: spoti.fi/2vH7ZZL
Over the past few years a general nostalgia for the 1980s has infiltrated music, film, and television. I deeply love those gated reverb drums of the '80s - you know that punchy percussive sound popularized by Phil Collins and Prince? So for my second episode of Vox Pop’s Earworm I spoke with two Berklee College of Music professors, Susan Rogers and Prince Charles Alexander, to figure out just how that sound came to be, what makes it so damn punchy, and why it’s back.
Correction: At 2:01, a previous version of the video mistakenly said the noise gate only lets frequencies above a certain threshold pass through. We should’ve said “amplitudes” instead of “frequencies.” The error has been rectified.
At 3:45 we noted that plate reverb boxes were made using aluminum. In fact, they were usually made of steel.

You could say Phil was really the genesis of the 80's drum sound.

The iconic drum fill in "In The Air Tonight" = instant dopamine rush

And maybe this is why learning to play the drums in the 80's always felt like a fail. Tape/socks/pillows and I just couldn't get my set to sound like the radio songs. You just healed part of my childhood. lol

Honestly that gated reverb is probably why I like 80s music. It just makes the song sounds so alive and warm

Vox is always educating me about things I didn't even know I cared about

Keep doing more like this. So many people have no clue how music is made.

"We really kind of used it to death". About sums it up.

I can give another example of a time when an accident influenced music. One time when Johnny Cash was getting started as a musician, he wanted to listen to some music on a reel-to-reel tape player. But he accidentally played the tape backwards. He heard some very unique guitar sound and thought he could do something with it. He later used it in his song “I Walk the Line”, which became his first #1 hit on the Billboard charts.

In the 80‘s everything had too much reverb: Vocals, guitars, drums. And today? Well, sometime it’s a bit to dry.

This man's name is "Professor Prince Charles Alexander." Why is no one talking about this.

Interesting stuff. I always thought the sound of the 80's was more synthesizers and things like that. But yeah, now that you've mentioned this I'm thinking back to all those songs and it's just there.

I love stories about studio accidents leading to brilliant tracks. "Money for Nothing" and "Spirit in the Sky" are two more examples of studio magic that could never be repeated.

Such an amazing story. Definitely a defining moment in music

The story I heard was that Collins was in the studio while working on Gabriel's album, just playing around, getting a sound, and he hit on this. He and the engineer timed the beat so it would match the gate perfectly. Then Gabriel walked in the room and heard it. He said to Collins, Just play that for five minutes. Collins cursed to himself since he'd been hoping to save that effect for his own recording. But he was on Gabriel's dime at the time, so he gave the beat to Gabriel for "Intruder."

every one of those early solo Gabriel albums are groundbreaking. a stunning series.
