What’s with the new film grain? It was much better looking before the update

I used the old film/grain effect all the time, but the new one looks much different. It does have more controls but this one has the grain as like a white layer of grain added over top, where the one before was grain the actual color of the image. I wish the grain would be changed back to the old version.

I liked how the size of the grain would depend on the size of the image you are editing. Now I can’t get my edits to match what they were like before because the grain looks weird and white

Messing with some acoustic ideas

Not exactly folk but I’m a huge fan of the acoustic songs by John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Josh Homme, and Brian Wilson

Looking for insights on mixing massive 70s plate style reverbs similar to early Zeppelin and Sabbath records

I've always loved the sound of those massive plate reverbs in 70s rock, especially the first couple zeppelin albums and sabbath self titled/paranoid. What advice do you have for producing something with similar style plate?

I'm talking more on the mixing and production side, as well as how I should think about arrangements.
Like maybe thinking of the reverb as its own separate track?

I'm just curious what concepts the mix engineers at the time were using with the reverbs, and how I should approach this in a similar way

It seems easy to get things way too blurry, but these records had a ton of plate and it never was too blurry

Thanks for any advice!
