Dear fellows,
I want to have a few opinions about the quality of the IK Multimedia CSR Classik Studio Reverb please.
How does it compare to the other reverbs on the market?
Greetings

I love it. But with reverbs it's a matter of taste and some will tell you the opposite. I prefer Breverb when it comes to transparent reverbs with a long tail... CSR worked really good on snares and aggressive metal vocals - it will obviously work as good on diffrent material as well.
I always give it a spin before choosing, that's for sure.
EDIT: That's probably my most used reverb, I also own Bluverb and Easyverb (already mentioned Breverb) plus some very nice freebies - but wouldn't ditch CSR. Still, no answer about a 64-bit version, if that's of any interest to you.

No problem, I know they will do it for all their plugs "soon".Still, no answer about a 64-bit version, if that's of any interest to you.

I've had it for several years, and I still use it for almost every tune. The sound is a little colored, but I like it.

My go to reverb. Love it. Top marks for one simple reason: Lush reverb, no artifacts.
Yes, it has 4 modules, each showcasing a different algorithm (Plate, Reverse, etc.). They're fun to experiment with, but for 99% of my use, I go to one preset. The Large Hall preset, used in varying percentages gives me a broad range of ambiances for a variety of uses. It also works well as either a send or insert.
It is quality. And a great value (IMHO)at its current price point.
Cheers

Seriously, I thought maybe there was a sale. I'm also looking to buy it again.
Seems like there used to be people with extra CSRs in their IK accounts (from IK\esoundz group buys) but haven't heard anyone mention that in a while. I traded mine for RMV

I'm a big fan too. The worst thing about it is that it took me a long while to figure out how to set it up to my liking, but now that I can navigate the plugin without issue and know how each parameter responds, I can get the sound I'm looking for in seconds. It's a great "go to" reverb.
