"Thick" and "Lush" is usually associated with heavy modulation which creates (mostly unnatural, but generally pleasant) chorus-like effects in the reverb and smears the spectrum peaks, and expands the bandwidth (which can also result in lots of noise in some designs). In Aether it is important to realize that for the modulation controls we have Depth and PERIOD, and opposed to Depth and Rate.Aiynzahev wrote:Hi
Aether just always sounds light and airy, never thick and lush, no matter what preset I try.
Period in seconds = 1/rate in Hertz. Period is the inverse of Rate. Generally speaking when rate is faster the effect of modulation is more pronounced. In Aether this means that when Period is SMALLER/shorter modulation is MORE pronounced. This may be somewhat counter-intuitive at first if one is accustomed to having "more" of a knob mean "more" of the effect of the parameter... Indeed we switched to using Rate for Breeze and B2 to avoid confusion.
But in Aether the Period can be incredibly long (up to 500sec) so that modulation is generally not perceivable and more has the effect of changing the geometry of the room very very slowly without producing any bandwidth significant bandwidth expansion, so it seemed to make more sense to use period.
Try short period of less of 1sec, and medium to high mod depth with aether to get lush chorusing effects...
Yes reverb is quite subjective and many people will disagree about what is best etc.Aiynzahev wrote: I know a lot of people swear by it which is why I bought it, but perhaps it depends on musical style.
Yes I tried B2 and I thought it was really good, different to Aether.
I am picky with reverbs though, it's as though I don't hear the same way as others, so many like Vroom for example and I've tried but never liked it for long tails. I tried Vintage room immediately and didn't like that either.
So perhaps it's just my odd tastes.
