One thing for sure....KVR members need to relax more.

I listened too my cozy cat and it relaxed me....even without a filter or reverb. It can be so easy.

I would've agreed with that, if there wasn't the last sentence. I haven't come along any free reverb, which is remotely close to the quality of Eventide Blackhole and Ultrareverb, the Exponential Audio reverbs, the 2C Audio reverbs, or also the NI classic reverbs. In fact, most sounded very metallic, and odd. Even TB-Reverb for 30 € sounds better than all the free stuff i ever used.

To people new in the game, i can only recommend to demo some payware reverb, and not waste time with the free stuff. It's not worth it really. Get the Computer Music issue with Warmverb, and use that, it's not half bad. Creating a reverb is art, nothing you do while passing by, and give it out for free.

For the most part, I agree. There are very few really good sounding free reverbs. I think that Cloudseed is decent. It uses the same basic technology as Blackhole, Spacemaster, and Valhalla shimmer. Whether or not it's stable for you is a question though. Some people have reported problems with it. It works for me.

Ghettosynth!

You are so rude!
So full of angst!
So full of yourslef!

So unable to be graceful with any hint of civility, let alone humility. Even when you are 100% wrong, the need to attack the next person is unstoppable within you. The need to be right, when you lost all sense of equilibrium...
Ghettoblaster, you are a sorry sight! Everytime!

You need LOVE! More LOVE!

Yes it's clear, YOU don't. However, you are not even close to being an authority on what other people need or what is needed for ambient. In fact, I think most people would largely do well to ignore most things that you say. So, put a cork in it. If I want to talk about the quality of synths as I see it with respect to the topic at hand, I will.

Dude, get over it, I don't respect you. I've told you before, if you didn't have some status here that prevented you from being on my foe list, that's where you'd be. Since I don't have that status, if you don't like that I don't respect you, why don't you add me to your foe list? That way I can have conversations with people whom I do respect without you putting in your pointless two cents.

Now, you're off topic for sure, because I am not the topic here, so cork it, ok?

Here's a nice modular session with a simple setup. Front and center is the Belgrad analog state variable filter. There is also an analog phaser module in there with the resonance quite high. For these kinds of sounds, and many others, if you're trying to do this ITB, then DSP algorithm quality matters quite a bit.

Best VSTi for relaxing sounds.. hmm

“relaxing” is very much different to each person, in order to answer the OP i’d have to know what type of sound they want.

Just saw this on the KVR homepage: https://www.112db.com/mikron/cascade/.

Looks good, and only $29 until January 15th.

Right? We've been trying to get him to post some examples from page one. One man's relaxing is another man's annoying.

This is just going to turn into a 40 page “list” thread at this point

No doubt, they all do.

Bet for most of us the ambient feeling comes from the inner picture of an asian temple where unknown (or rarely heard) percussion strikes with non-western rhythms while one or another bird (the whistling sound) as well as some wind passes by... that calm and peaceful ambience (sic!) that differs so much from our daily experience (cars, hectic, shouts, TV...) makes it a typical genre piece though it is in fact dead simple...

Btw.. it's very easy and doesn't need a long time to make some ambient stuff with help of Absynth. This short idea I made in the last 10 minutes. The deep drone pad is from Dune and there is a small "fill" with Repro-5 and later there is a lead from the Nord.. all the "mystic" sounds are from Absynth.

No, I do know about it, and, no, it's not "top notch" throughout. Maybe you shouldn't comment about things that you don't understand? I don't know why you think that saying something makes it so, it doesn't. We all know when the filters were developed and we know some detail about their pedigree. There is also plenty of discussion about other aspects of Omnisphere that are lacking. Moreover, we know for a fact that there is no significant audio rate modulation in Omnisphere.

Omnisphere is not cutting edge technology and all of the wishful thinking in the world isn't going to change that.

If you wonder why I don't respect you it's simple, you say dumb things like "Omnisphere is top notch throughout." This leads me to believe that you either can't hear its limitations, don't understand its limitations, or both.

Every tool I own has limitations, and, in fact, every tool that you own also has limitations. The thoughtful user understands this and doesn't get upset when someone else points out or acknowledges those limitations.

You aren't going to have any impact on my conversational style. You simply don't contribute enough substance here for that to happen. If that offends you some more, then you know where that foe button is.
