ok, so it's not the greatest playing but here is a clip with the hofa. I know it's over pronounced and wouldn't be right for a mix, but am I just crazy to think this verb sounds fabulous?

That's why I never post anything, you get the silent treatment

But I really appreciate the responses

Nope, not krazy. It's a fantastic verb.

It does sound good. I've been looking at the hofa verb for a while, although I've decided to focus on Valhalla and Exponential Audio reverbs for now.

You thinking about doing a verb shootout? Could be fun ....

Maybe. But what I'm afraid of is that it will be really hard to get the levels all perfectly correct so that when people are listening they get a sense of the reverb.

Plus, I'm pretty sure I'm sold. Just got to wait until they respond back with a couple of niggles (you know, get a sense for support

) and it's quite a chunk of change. Wanna make sure there are no upcoming sales, that kinda thing.

Assuming that all the reverbs mentioned are wonderful, one good reverb for all uses could be (even if someone will tell me that I'm crazy!) Lexicon Pantheon that has very good algorithms and is very light on CPU (and I still use it!), then if you want more character, Valhalla, NI RC Verbs etc etc are Magnifiques...
By Convolution I love especially Plates

I would really like to get the Lexicon Native but not sure I want to deal with eLicenser.

Is it elicencer or ilok?

Yeah I keep going back to this, despite how much I like B2, Aether or the NI vintage reverbs.

Yea, I think you're right... ilock... even worse!

I have no problem with iLok...actually, it makes job more easier...couldnt believe, but its true when I got it.

And PCM native rocks...

so I'm having issues with the hofa even more today

hopefully with some dialogue we'll figure out what is causing it.

I think though after quite a bit of testing, that I kinda understand what people are talking about convo/vs/algo. Though I like the sound of the hofa on it's own, I'm not sure that when mixed I'm getting any real benefits.

I dunno, concentrating more on what I have and seeing what that can do

Hey Hibidy, the verb sounds pretty good.
Could you post a dry version of the soundbite above.
I want to try a couple on it.

I've got Valhalla VintageVerb, Valhalla Room and Reverberate, and I haven't touched anything since having these three. Way more than enough for everything...

Best reverb, for all jobs? (ongoing process)
