My vst folder is filled with other reverbs. Perhaps the priciest of the lot that I bought is the 2CAudio stuff: Aether and Breeze. I specifically got Aether because of its amazing flexibility. It is very clean and crisp. And Breeze is the same but with fewer gymnastics required for tweaking. But I never quite got it where I wanted it.solidtrax wrote:Sorry, I read my post again and I understand your reply.

If you have the money, try LX480, it's like a Lexicon 480 reverb in a plugin! It's from the same developer as CSR. Looks like he moved on too!

What I tried to say is that when CSR was released, there was not a lot of competition. It delivered a reverb sound previously not heard from a native reverb plugin. But things have changed. A lot of different reverb plugins have been released since then, like the reverbs from ValhallaDSP, 2CAudio, Softube, 112dB, Lexicon and many more. Today, CSR is still the same sounding reverb as when it was released, this I will not deny, but it's not alone anymore, there is a lot of competition. You probably will not find a reverb that does exactly what CSR does, so if it's exactly that what you are looking for, I'm not stopping you from using it. In the end, with reverb it is all about taste. Some people HATE the Lexicon sound, some people LOVE it.. and this can be said for most reverbs, both hardware and software.
So, not dissing CSR.. I should have said that I have found other reverb plugins that better suit to my reverb taste.
Peace?
I still use Breeze sparingly on certain things. And, like I said, I still have other algo 'verbs in my arsenal as well. But the sound in my head is CSR, and it's nice to now be able to use it again.
Peace.
