CSR - pants down

[jah1234]

I used the internal reverb in Ableton Live. It's all right. However, I think the original AAR version is much warmer and more pleasing to my ears.

That was pretty impressive. Do you think you can share the preset?

Thanks! Sure here it is: http://www.hornquist.se/jah-long_reverb.rar

Put the .adv in your ableton reverb preset folder and it'll show up in the preset list..

Thanks! Never thought Live's built in reverb could sound so good.

Can anyone recommend a reverb for drums/percussion? I've demo'd AAR but haven't had results on drums that I like.

I had the exact same mediocre results with AAR with my drum mixing style as well.

same here, and this is mainly what turns me off AA. i have trouble getting the dense but open/light sound like with some lexi/vss3 hall impluses, sorry for crap subjective nonsense terminology.

still, its probably operator error, so id like to hear someone do something for drums with it.

It's only operator error up to a point, as not all reverbs are equal with all types of sound.

The CSR examples didn't convince me so far and I won't buy a syncrosoft dongle just to demo that thing, but if anybody comes up with a similar example of the famous *wow* factor I might have two different choices. I'm totally fond of those Vangelis long lush rich roomy reverb sounds, am I an 80ies child...obviously!

repeater: would like to but could be I have to wait until early next week

@LiteOn: It's been a wait so long for these reverbs, I don't mind a few days...

Yea, the AT2 "rack" hall reverb is smoother than the CSR hall reverb. They are definitely not cross-pollinated algos, from the sound of it. Too bad they only gave the most basic controls. With more parameters, that AT2 reverb would be worth a decent chunk of change in itself. I'll probably be using AT2 strictly as a reverb for some projects.

may i ask what is AT2 ???
did i miss a reverb unit???
edit:ahhh, got it ... the amplitube 2 ... ok ...
so thatone's better than the csr??? how that come???

Certainly not better but being a guitarist and not an audio engineer, I was able to tweak the rig more instinctively. AND...I did NOT get it using only the reverb in AT2...I ran the signal through a thd bi-valve clean, an echoman, an lfo filter, digital delay and the digital reverb. I'm not sure I can route these in the right way though.

What I'm unsure of how to do in CSR that I think would get me closer is shortening the tail on the highs only and tweaking the modulation properly. Does anyone know what the modulation source is in AAR and where I would find the freq range it's modulating?

I'm really a newbie when it comes to this stuff so forgive my any unintentional ignorance in my questions

Ok here is my contribute

It is not meant to be carbon copy of original long_reverb. As we speak about Vangelis, Enya etc.
Here is my try:

Actually you can hear choirs inside but it is only amazing reverb machine
You have just one shot to guess which

[spuddle]

yep, i still do think the reverb02 does sound a little more open and rounder than the original file ... you think the aar sounds a bit harsher?

I refer to how the 224 'cushions' the actual sound of the synth, where as the AAR example, the synth rang out quite distinctively and then was followed by lush AAR verb. Sort of peaks and falls in the dynamics, this could be entirely useful or not desired depending on the use.

Both AAR and 224 examples were highly musical to my ears, when considering the cost of each, there is a clear winner really isn't there?

AAR is on my list now

Would be nice to start running some other samples through these things now.

P.S The other verb demos are highly enlightening, keep 'em coming!

Got some serious chorus pitching there!

Cool effect.

[living sounds]

Too much modulation.

[brok landers]

yes, the key is to actually not be able to hear the modulation in these kind of reverbs ...

[kmonkey]

Hehe but it was meant to be modulated and artifficial Not like lexi or bexi
Anyway i think i will buy CSR in future. It has "that" sound at least for drums. I cant get lexi like plates with AA and anyway i think that everyone shoul buy both. And that's it. No more reverb research

Hey Brok,

Is your 224 sample an XL? If so, which version of software and what preset are you using? Just curious...
