Recently in a german forum was a shootout including:

2016 Princeton Plate, 2016 Princeton Room, Altiverb 480L, Altiverb Real Room, Artsacoutic Reverb, Cubase Reverb A, Digidesign Revibe, IK-Multimedia CSR, Lexicon 300, Lexicon MPX-1, Lexicon PCM91, Logic Platinum Verb, Oxford Reverb Native, Samplitude Vari Verb, Sony V77, Steinberg Roomworks, TC Classic Reverb, TC Megareverb, UAD Dreamverb, UAD Plate, VSS3, Impuls - SIR, VSS3 PoCo, VSS3 System 6000, VSS3 TC4000, VSS4 System 6000, Waves IR1 480L, Wizoo W2

If a little german is no obstacle for you, please check the file for blind testing over here:

There is a pdf document with the solution right in the middle of the page.

nice checkout

but to be truthful, I think its a bit questionable to rate a reverb with one snare and vocal and one preset( which seems to differ slighlty from unit to unit)...

still a nice work.

just to be precise: in the shootout each reverb features 3 different reverbs (snare, vox and backing). if you are trained to hear the differences are *huge* and the results (if you make it blind) may be probably surprisingly ....

Hi

Nice shootout, having done a lot, I know the kind of work it means...
But I need more precision about it, regarding the results.
On such a big A/B, we need all the test specs (computers, audio cards, DAW, etc.)

I assume there is a last two stations, a PC and a Mac, because of "one platform only" softs.

I guess bounces have been done for all soft reverbs.

Has the test been done with the same soft (ie Cubase, or PT) on both computers ?
What audio cards have been used on each computer, and using what frequency/resolution ?
Are the hardware reverbs connected (bus, I imagine) the same way on each computer ?
Analog implies at least 4 conversions : D/A from the audio card, A/D in the reverb unit, D/A from the reverb unit, A/D back to the audio card !
You'll understand that the card (and type of clock...) has its importance
What about delay compensation ? A bad implement can give very bad results (transients, timing, muddyness, etc.)
So digital (AES/EBU, S/P-Dif ?) seems to be the rule.
Etc., etc.

Sorry to ask all these questions, but I'm sure you know that recording a System 6000 in a $100 audiocard will always results in a bad soft reverb bounce sounding better

Make sense of course. Basic setup is explained in the document in the middle of that page. Maybe you get in contact with that guy over there to get further information if needed.
nice weekend,

Thanks bootsie

alas, I don't understand german, even if some infos sounds familiar...
And I thought you were the guy

but, it's not that important for me

have a nice weekend too.
