Lush reverbs on a budget

Not meaning to offend, but where in this track is there 'lush' reverb? The vocals and that stabby piano/synth sound more like they were recorded in a shower stall (and then poorly eq'd). All I am hearing is a whole lot of early reflections that are creating a metallic flanging effect to the vocals. Seems you could get that same effect with a cheap delay plugin run through a spring-verb emulator.
I guess our definitions of lush vastly differ from one another.

True but ValhallaShimmer desperately needs an update.
The preset manager is seriously lacking.

I think you could probably replace Shimmer with VDelay

I listened to the track in the OP and I didn't know what to say because I didn't feel the reverb was lush. it sounded pretty... bad, to me. metalic and thin. For me personally, I would not call Valhalla reverbs "lush". 2c Aether is capable of lushness as is Liquidsonics Illusion. Polyverse Comet is also pretty lush on certain settings. But what do I mean by "lush"? Only my brain knows the answer.

Another lush reverb IMHO is UVI Sparkverb which is capable of a "sweet lush" sound. It's all crazily subjective. not worth fighting about. its the result that matters!Sparky77 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:41 pmLiquidsonics Illusion is under rated.plexuss wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:18 pm I listened to the track in the OP and I didn't know what to say because I didn't feel the reverb was lush. it sounded pretty... bad, to me. metalic and thin.

... and that is also highly subjective. Best to just move on and have fun...

That reminds me of one of my many "amusing" anecdotes with plugin devs. "Amusing" is usually the result of some kind of frustration being filtered over time. When Melda / Vojtechs were making MTurboReverb, he kept touting how it sounds better than any other reverb. Ass. So I budded in saying "there are no bad reverbs". He argued with me. So I said, ok make me a bad reverb and I will make music out of it. So he made 2 or 3 bad reverb patches. I made this track with them. He conceeded to me. I win. One of his bad reverbs is what starts the track off. All the "bad revbers" had crazy modulation going on.
