So, the #1 album on the Billboard charts this week is "saturated" with Valhalla DSP plugins. So I've got that goin' for me. Which is nice.

Thanks Theo - thought I was crazy. 
I'll give Syntorus another try, but I was much more impressed with Valhalla's Über-mod.

ArtsAcoustic reverb used to be my go-to for years, but it took them so long to go 64-bit I started looking for alternatives about one year ago.
Nowadays I use Eareverb, and it's really, really good -- I have to admit I personally like it better. Smooth, natural, good both for music and sound design. Especially as the new AAR still has some issues after it finally went 64-bit (bugs and license weirdness), I'm staying with Eareverb.
Highly recommended, and don't forget to tweak
Edit: awwh, I read my message again, and it might be perceived too harsh: I want to emphasize that ArtsAcoustic Reverb is an excellent reverb as well. And to be fair, there are multiple enhancements in the new version I haven't tried yet. I've gotten so much good use out of the earlier versions, I recommend trying out AAR as well. The bugs in the recent release will most probably be fixed very soon.

Another genius post, Theo! Can you tell more about your impressions about this"This has I use the ear verb for my "i want to wetten this up to make it sit but not be obvious" earth reverb." Is the ear verb versatile or is it more of a one trick pony? I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly but when you say that about the earth reverb are you basically saying it's good for ambience and space but sounds more natural than others?TheoM wrote:I can only say i am truly stunned by both the ni 24 and 48.. They are without a doubt my go to's now.
I also own and use V room, Shimmer and VVV, and the amazing earReckon earreverb. I use the ear verb for my "i want to wetten this up to make it sit but not be obvious" earth reverb. For that it's my favourite of what i own.
between those i completely stopped using lexicon even and have decided against the exponential ones (i can't personally see the value for a $400 bundle).
i use breverb 2 for my reverse special effects as i have tried every single alternative i can think of and nothing comes close. Surprisingly logic's enverb gets most of the way there but that works only in logic of course.
breverb's reverse mode is what a true reverse reverb is all about and is just untouchable, really. However if someone wants an all round reverb i can also recommend breverb 2 as being quite stunning in every department, but personally i just go for the ni's cause they are so easy to get results (breverb can do everything imaginable but has pages and pages of controls)
But if you want the lot.. i recommend breverb as it gates (in tempo) has tempo pre delay, and 7 modes with every eq imaginable.. not just a simple high cut here for example, and i do find it much easier to use than aether.
Now finally, something rarely talked about for ages, and i guess some people don't even realise there is a mac 64 bit version as well as windows, and a complete excellent gui overhall, is magix varieverb.
It is just *that* good, that the demo has completely floored me. It is possibly one of the silkiest natural reverb i have ever heard. However, i am not biting, cause i simply have enough covered. if i was starting again, or didn't have many reverbs, i would seriously look into varieverb, so would also like to give that my absolute thumbs up for anyone looking for a new verb.
I have breverb and I like it but I'm not blown away by it. I also have Samplitude 11 Pro but overlooked the potential to variaverb. Which of these two do you personally prefer?
Lastly, have you trued the U-He Uhbik? It looks like an awesome package but I wish it was sold in individual components as well. I was wondering if you tried the reverb against some of the others, especially since you mentioned how much you like variaverb that was programmed by Sascha.

toraverb i dont like, but, i need to try syntorus. tal chorus lx is pretty awesome though.TheoM wrote:
wow. I put syntorus as one of the very best chorus plugins available on any platform at any price. I guess we are all so different!
And Lush? Yeah.. i think it's pretty stunning as well.
I am not huge on toraverb, it is only for massive wishy wash, maybe you'll like it? as that's the one i don't click with lol.

Have to say, while I'm not overly enthusiastic about D16's verb or distortion units for that matter (against popular opinion I know).AstralExistence wrote: toraverb i dont like, but, i need to try syntorus. tal chorus lx is pretty awesome though.
I do really like Syntorus and Lush they're great imo.

Awesome Theo! Yeah, I'm gonna give the Breverb stuff another whirl and try it for myself but thanks for the offer.
I really am a huge Magix fan myself. A lot of the stock tools are very useful and you will find the Ammunition Limiter (came with Samplitude 11 Pro) to be top shelf but does not come with Samplitude Pro X is amazing and the best limiter included with a DAW. I'm quite sure you have heard of that since you seem to know everything under the sun about mastering tools but I can vouch for that one, another one of Sascha's amazing creations.
My favorite thing about Samplitude though is the design. It's probably a personal thing but I love the layout on 11 Pro. Some of the guys on the Magix board though say that they much prefer the 11 Pro layout to the Pro X layout as a few of the toolbars were scrapped from the new version and new ones that others find less useful were added in their place. One of the complaints was that it looked too cluttered and less intuitive versus V11. But Pro X is now 64 but so that is a huge win for many.
Before getting Pro 11, I had Samplitude 11 Producer, a "lite version". It had a lot of the same functionality minus the Analogue Modeling Suite but did come with Vandal. From having registered 11 Producer in the past, they sent me this offer last week.
"We have a special offer for this year's music trade fair, exclusively available to Samplitude Music Studio users - perfect for bands or musicians who strive for the best!
Upgrade to the pro league by April 19, 2013 and get the Analogue Modelling Suite Plus for free! (regularly $199).
Save more than $390 and take advantage of the wide range of professional tools, features and instruments!
Only $299 (regularly $698)"
So sometimes Magix does have some enticing deals in case you ever want to consider jumping over. I can keep an eye out for any specials and let you know . But it looks like your a Reason guy (curious to know what you ReWire with) so maybe you are happy where you are at.
Great to get some perspective to about the URS/Uhe stuff. I thought I was the only one who thought it odd that there were no offerings for single plugs. Thats obviously a developer decision but I'm sure there are others that would love the option to purchase individual plugs. Maybe I would purchase a separate verb plug if it was available instead of the whole package. I don't blame you for wanting to resell if you only find steady use out of one of the plugs. Its just so wasteful. Glad too to get more insight about the UHE stuff. Turning out to be a nice thread indeed.
Cheers,
AC
