KVR Audio

I don't mind paying good money for good software. I just draw the line at dongles and challenge/response and PACE and insulting rubbish like that. I've been considering buying a Powercore or maybe hardware, so if the quality is comparable, this is cheap.

Theoretically, my perfect reverb should be a VST algorithm plugin. Convolution is great because it exposes how bad the existing VST algorithmns sound. Convolution has it's uses, but the flexibility is missing.

Can't wait to try the demo ...

Me, too. But this will be really, really, really the last reverb to buy for me.

BTW, I was impressed by the GUI (looks easy to handle the plugin) !
I would appreciate a cheaper introduction price !?

The audio demo's sound good indeed. The only thing I'm missing from the demo's is it's 'invisible glueing' qualities. You know, the type of sound where you don't really hear the reverb, but once you remove it, something doesn't sound right. IMHO, that's a quality that still makes the expensive hardware boxes stand out.

yes, you are right. but IOO the ArtsAcoustic Reverb can do this quite good.
wait for the demoversion. as the traffic is allready very high i will not upload more audio demos for now.

What I missed in the demos was some really short but very wet reverb. I use that a lot. I guess I'll have to check the demo out later on

Just out of curiousity, I'm still very very happy with ambience.

Try compressing the returns...maybe even the send as well, depending on the source. I normally *always* EQ the returns also, whether or not the reverb is excellent, cheap or otherwise. In fact...I do not believe I have ever not done this, to tell the truth

This approach helps alot for that "glueing" quality. You can lower the level of the returns this way, and still have a reasonable perceived ambience level that sits better in the mix.

Right...you can have your thread back.

yes right

no, but seriously: to compress the reverb`s return is a very common technique and can bring interresting results. however, with the ArtsAcoustic Reverb you have quite similar results without doing so:
you can simply lower the density.
unlike the most reverbs, this doesn´t lower the quality of the reverb, but adjusts the early reflections with consideration of the reverb tail.
this will give you a way more "in the room" character.
then play around with the spread parameter, wich is doesn`t adjust the stereo image, but the nonlinearity of the reverbtail and the early reflections. this should give you a similar effect.

Congratulations on your enlightened and customer-friendly attitude. Ludicrous and ineffective copy-protection does little more than frustrate honest customers.

I wish you all success with your handsome-looking product.
