80s Spaces v2 by Nomad Factory

80s Spaces is a reverb plug-in that captures the essence of the early digital sound era.

Developed by Nomad Factory in collaboration with Plugivery and MoReVox, This plug-in is designed to emulate the typical reverbs and space effects used by legendary artists and producers of that era, such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Duran Duran, David Bowie, U2, Queen and many others.

80s Spaces v2 is based on convolution technology, which means it uses high quality impulse responses (IRs) to capture the characteristics of real reverb units and spaces. The plug-in comes with 250 IRs , covering a wide range of reverb models and styles, from gated snares and drums, to lush vocal halls and plates, to short rooms and chorused verbs.

The plug-in has a simple and user-friendly interface, with four main sections: Reverb, Effect, Mix and Display. The Reverb section lets you adjust the pre-delay, attack, decay and gate parameters of the reverb, as well as choose from 12 reference reverb models, such as Lexicon 480L, EMT 250, AMS RMX16, Yamaha SPX90 and more.

The Effect section lets you tweak the lo and hi cut filters, chorus and width controls of the reverb, as well as add some color and tilt EQ to shape the tone. The Mix section lets you control the input and output levels, as well as the dry/wet balance of the reverb. The Display section shows you a visual representation of the reverb settings and a level meter.

Hello to everyone reading this,

My name is Sally T. , and I am a producer, recording, mixing and mastering engineer based in Israel.
I work with artists in my private home studio, and over the years I have transitioned fully into high-resolution audio workflows, specifically DXD and DSD.

Today, my entire production, mixing, and mastering chain is centered around Pyramix 15 by Merging Technologies, paired with the Anubis Premium converter. I primarily record and work at 352.8 kHz (DXD), and occasionally in DSD, depending on the project.

Anyone working seriously in DXD knows that truly great-sounding plugins at this resolution are still relatively rare. I am very selective and cautious when choosing tools for this environment. While there are some excellent plugins available, many of them tend to be extremely transparent, sharp, and clean—often lacking character or musical color. Because of that, I’ve traditionally relied on external analog hardware to introduce warmth, depth, and emotion.

Recently, I purchased the following Nomad Factory bundles after confirming that they are fully supported and operational in DXD:
• 80’s Spaces V2
• Magnetics Bundle V3
• Retro EQs Bundle V3
• British Bundle V2

I would like to genuinely commend these plugins and say without hesitation that they sound absolutely phenomenal, especially when used inside Pyramix 15 at DXD resolution. The tonal richness, harmonic color, and overall sonic quality allow me to inject emotion, warmth, and musical depth into my recordings—something I simply could not achieve with other DXD-compatible plugins that remain overly transparent.

The bundles I purchased are rock-solid stable, the system does not crash, and the sound quality is uncompromising. I am extremely satisfied with both the sonic results and the clear level of thought and engineering that went into the DSP design and coding of these plugins. Make no mistake—these are high-end plugins, built with serious professionals in mind.

I highly recommend Nomad Factory to anyone looking to add character, emotion, and musical color to their tracks—especially if you are working in DXD.

i bought this as well and it's not in my account just like pedrodrsv said below. What gives? I bought this plugin years ago and it's always worked fine.
