I heard from a beta tester this morning, who installed the latest beta of ValhallaVintageVerb and had previously installed Simon's presets. The beta tester said that the Designer presets were untouched by installing the update.

So, get on over to Patchpool and get those presets! I haven't known Sampleconstruct to do anything that isn't f***ing amazing.

"It's part of a trilogy I'm working on..."

Sean, love your work, love your plugins (I have them all), so please don't take the following as a criticism, but as a suggestion: I really like the way you've organized the presets in VVV; are you planning on standardizing preset organization across all of your plugins the same way, including preset location and copy/paste functionality? Thanks!

I'll look into it. The standardization would have to happen in a way that doesn't cause troubles, and this might be difficult when moving files around on OSX via installer scripts. In other words, updating ValhallaRoom (say) to use the new preset organization scheme would require me to write an installer script that moves the presets from the old location to the new one, and I don't have a lot of faith in these installer scripts working with OSX 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

I have a new beta release (as of last night) available for ValhallaVintageVerb, for OSX and Windows. The previous beta was last stable than the release version, but this allowed me to track down what was causing some of the issues users were seeing. The new version is looking far more stable than the current release version, so if any existing users of the paid plugin want to try a beta, just send me an email, or PM me with your email address.

I've been away from the thread for a bit and didn't see this mentioned yet.
We had Sean on The Home Recording Show last week. Listen here
As always, the discussion strayed into off-topic and downright weird territory for most of the interview.
Anyway, it was fun for us and you guys might enjoy it too.

Lovely ambient stuff!

thanks for the tip, i was searching why i haven't got the player

My god, I want to get a Valhalla verb, but I can't decide which one! I'm drawn to VintageVerb for its obvious inspirational pedigree...what's the best one for all-around, day-to-day mixing?

If you're drawn to the TripleVee, then it's meant to be. Don't fight it, just get it. If you're mixing day-2-day, you poor thing, it's a great first step into the wholly trinity (+1) of the halls and bowels of Valhalla.

VRoom is great for dialog in post, since it's the realest of the fakery. As well, it's great with that tonal-based stuff they call music.

Shimmer is a pitch-shiftery-shim-shim-shimmering-ethery trip through the ambio-phonical. Ok, it's the 'Art' verb.

UberMod is where 'art' meets three billion over-stimulated parameters of uber-motivated mayhem, spinning flanges round the sonic frontier at over tapped terminal velocity until it distorts the limits of perceptually regenerated uberness. It's also capable of very creative verb effects.

Uh...maybe better to just try the demos.

Eventually, only one thing is certain: You must own them all!

I suspected as much! Thanks for the breakdown, mando.

I gotta try Shimmer again...I've been looking for a replacement for ArtsAcoustic Reverb, and Eos is close, but...

EXCELLENT POST, especially the remark about VVRoom!!

An other one using two patches from cosmic pro :

mars meditation split & fast triplet scanner
