How many reverb plugins is just too many?

[sounddesigner]

I have alot of reverbs, the current project i'm working on requires a few different types of reverbs for different reasons, so to get the sound i want for many tracks- more then one or two verbs is required.This ofcourse is only a rule for me someone else may make music differently and have different sonic goals in mind, and that someone else may need no reverbs, another person may need three while another needs 5 because of they're style of creation.How many reverbs you have does not depend on what everyone else has but on your personal needs and way of making music, and the sonic goals you wish to reach.one reverb may or may not have the right personality for all your mixes or individual sounds-it depends on the music vision you have.Its only about what you feel you need or can truly use wich you conclude after knowing the type of music you wish to make and whats required for the particular results you want..

That's clearly the answer.

Sorry if it came off as bragging. I actually think it makes me look stupid, rather than lucky or rich or whatever. (I am kinda lucky, but far from rich.)

What happens is, I get into a project, and I decide I really need a certain reverb sound. Like, right now, I'm working on an acoustic american/country act -- not my strength -- and I track in a room that's practically an anechoic chamber, so I'm looking thru my impulse collection for the right totally invisible ultra-real room, and then the HDIR hype rings in my head, and then I start thinking, well, I've never bought a convo reverb . . you see how it goes.

Convo Boy. $19.95. You neeeeeeeed it. Here you go:

since it sounds like you talk by experience, could you possibly give me a hint about Convoboy compared say to the Voxengo ones (both the Pristine Space and the one in the Analog Suite, which I have tried but don't own) and SIR, which I have and use a lot (pro'lly getting CSR soon, but it is a completely different beast, of course)? Thinking about sound and cpu-efficiency.

Thanks!

I have no experience what-so-ever with it! I was just messing with bobby! .

My personal software obsession is with drum VSts, not reverb.

But I've read good stuff about it, and it's less than $20, for goodness sake, and you can download a free, highly-functional Lite version.

My reverbs: D-Verb in PT M-Powered, LFX-1310, Voxengo OldSkoolVerb, Kjaerhus Classic Reverb. I don't have really great ears, just know what sounds okay to me, and the LFX-1310 seems to be what I plug in the most. I just do crude blues and guitar-based rock, so it's not like I need something with incredible specs. Assuming I get into the convo thing, I'll probably start messing with SIR and Ambient, and maybe buying Convo Boy.

But I have the same issue you do -- convos have a reputation for hitting the CPU pretty hard. And M-Powered already pushes my hardware to the edge. I think convolution reverb will only be for final mix or master, for me.

Pristine Space is expensive enough that it'll likely not be on my list (though tuz recently gifted me with VoxFormer and I really, really, really like it). It's probably well worth what it costs, but, from what I've read, the free ones are great as is.
