Given all the chatroom talk about SIR, I'm surprised there's only 3 reviews here.
I've been a hardware based recorder for over 6 years, and went DAW about 4 months ago. Aside from all of the obvious reasons to switch, the #1 reason was to get 'that sound' especially on vocals. It had been a fairly frustrating few months, aside from the learning curve - I never really got close to 'that sound' until I found this plugin - I'm a convert now !
I was a little intimidated to try this program because of all the latency talk, but Tracktion 2 automatically compensates for it ! I left a 9 for 'stability', not because it has been 'unstable', but the latency and CPU draw (not quite as bad as I expected) can make using multiple plugins or an aux-buss applications a little taxing and tricky - there have been times I've wanted to use it, but went with a more basic reverb to avoid issues, but given the price - no complaints.
At any price, sonically this is a 10 and the free IR's online have covered every application I've needed thus far. I don't use it everytime I need reverb, but it's my go-to for most vocal applications and anytime an instrument is 'naked' in the mix - it can really fill a void without being overbearing.
Didn't want to bring an overall rating down so I left 10's but in reality - N/A's for documents and support - if they exist, I haven't needed them, and in the software world, I'm just a bit beyond novice. For newbies its not a plug-and-go, you need to download IR's and load them into the program to get different sounds(NA really for presets too, although the 2 available are pretty good).
The GUI gets a 10 too - there's nothing more that I've needed, and its been a breeze to navigate without a manual.
BOTTOM LINE - DOWLOAD THIS PLUGIN - its worth a try. Its the best one I have and ITS FREE !Read Review
