Yeah, I don't much care for the sound of it. It's probably good for pop music but I tend to create ambient and it doesn't quite sound smooth enough for my tastes.

You missed the option "Still to expensive for a one-trick pony"...

Nice option but 100 bucks for a high quality reverb plugin is very affordable compared to the rest of the market. Take the dvr2 or vss3 reverbs of the tc6000 system for poco, they are 400 and 500 bucks respectively, and you need the poco card to begin with.
I'd personally prefer the princeton over any other native non convolution reverb. Even though I'm covered with the poco reverbs I'd still get that one for it's different character and because it's affordable. But well, I won't since I don't want any drivers installed on my systems, particularly when they haven't undergone extensive QA proofing and therefore cause hickups/instability.

because it didnt interest me, but if it did, i wouldnt have buy anyway because of pace (even if only chal/resp, i dont buy chal/resp things either)

[Stairsteps]

At least you were honest:) I'm surprised though!

Its not a hard question why wouldnt you expect a honest answer?

But on the topic of copy protection unless it screws up your system Ide say dont worry about it and base your purchase on lust and need.

Yes we all lust after these toys , isnt that the reason were here to lust and dream.

In my opinion the princeton reverb is worth it, its got very positive remarks in EM and others, also I think Craig Anderton loved it and Craig is a true critic.

Speaking of protection most of the developer's have no recourse but to CP there software and for good reason too.

Example; We have a bank and you deposit money in it and withdraw as well, But what if we remove the protection from the bank "no more vaults no more tellers no more guards or motion sensors no cameras"
do you think the bank would survive long doing that?

So as troublesome as protection is or dongle keys or what ever ect... We need to realize this is not done to inconvience the user but to deter the pirates, whom are hurting the industry and also hurting the economy.

It feels much better to have a nice "preferable wirebound" manuel and usually 24/7 support and updates as well as perks.

So to ask if ppl are put off by the protection scheme or if they were just uninterested in the Princeton Reverb group buy is what i think this topic was about before i started rambling, If I got off base please bear with me.

But I like my example of the bank without camera and guards and no vault door to understand why companys go thru with all this zany copyprotection without the protection bizantine or not, we all need it, and should gladly except it as a way of staying in buisnes.

It is not a way of staying in business. It is an illusion of increasing sales that way. As long as the stuff isn't intrusive - they can copyprotect all they want. But when the paying users are affected by the copy protection, thats where they lose sales.
It's gotta be enough of a hint that people who own and keep upgrading pace products like waves install the cracked versions because these don't bugger up the system. If you ask me thats one heck of a nuisance.

[OMU]

it's a pitty that those developers don't give a shit about their customer's problems which actually paid them for having what to eat while the virtual thiefs are enjoying their products and not having problems at all

Tricky set of options... I demoed the Princetown Reverb, and frankly I don't understand what the fuss is about. I put it on a channel next to a range of other reverbs (specifically: Waves True Verb, Renaissance Reverberator, Wizooverb W2, Spin Audio Roomverb M2, PSP Easy Verb, Wave Arts Masterverb, Magnus Ambience, Kjaerhus Classic Reverb, SIR, Voxengo Pristine Space) and it was one of the ones I liked least from that list. . I guess that reverb is very subjective mind you

In any case, I wouldn't buy it because of the Pace protection, so there it is. Vote cast

[AKJ]

no, you are right, after so much praise I demoed it - and I found: this one sounds rather bad than good.

it's definately a tool for people who know exactly what it is and how to get the best of it. for people that are after THAT kind of sound. maybe this is the reason that made some people call it a one trick pony.

[advaya]

The one reason I didn't wish to participate was due to it being a bit of a 'one trick pony'... I'd like a reverb plugin to have more than a room simulation algorithm... I like EasyVerb's multi-algorithm approach much better, as I've never had any luck trying to get a roomverb to sound like a convincing hall... Maybe it's just me!

Though for what the Princeton does, it does it quite well...

I think is a poor rev,there're better freeware ones.
