I find it to be a must try for lush tails (true-stereo); https://www.voxengo.com/product/crtivreverb/

Wow, that's really nice, and much cheaper than B2 or Relab. But it seems there's no lower quality setting to reduce CPU and no stereo width control, which would be very convenient for mixing....

True, I also like valhalla vintage-verb (for less cpu, versatile and cheap) but not sure if that will convince you. If you have the budget maybe exponential audio R series...

From a few days of testing, B2 at 4x oversampling seems the lushest, though Adaptiverb and Voxengo are close. B2 also has less cpu-intensive x1 oversampling, width control, and extensive EQ and saturation options and presets... but so far I've found getting the right settings very time-consuming (no doubt that would decrease with familiarity, though I don't know to what extent... assuming the demo is still limited to 40 hours of "active use" I'm not sure how much longer I have with it).

Adaptiverb also has a lower-cpu "Preview" mode and seems much easier to fit into a mix without creating mud... it seems like it would save a lot of time and be much more versatile.

B2 has a 20% MSRP transfer fee and resold licenses become NFR... while the sale price is $100 off, I'm not sure I could approximately break even reselling it, since it becomes NFR and the transfer fee is $50. Transfer fee for Adaptiverb is $25 and licenses don't become NFR but it probably won't go on individual sale until the summer, though the Design Bundle including it is slightly cheaper than buying Adaptiverb and Wormhole at their individual sale prices.

Finally installed Raum by Native Instruments. It has a freeze function which can sound quite seamless when triggered at the right time on the right signal. Only tested on female vocals so far and it's now in my plugin list for future projects. Extreme decay times are also featured.

Little Plate is my goto plate for reverb. Amazing plugin which goes all the way to infinity.

And, of course, 2CAudio seems to have spatialisation perfected.

Relab Sonsig-Rev-A: lush tail, but all of the (relatively limited) settings seem to add harsh distortion that I wouldn't usually want.

Atomicverb: the end of the tail is musically pleasing, but the reverb itself seems excessively metallic (granted I didn't play around with this one as much).

B2: nonlinearities add to the richness but can make it difficult to avoid unwanted and unpleasing effects. But built in EQ and distortion with a vast number of presets mitigate this. 4x oversampling is magnificent but extremely cpu-intensive and can take a long time to render.

Adaptiverb: allows for perfectly smooth reverb. Probably not great for "realistic" reverbs, though it has a more conventional reverb option built in. Makes it relatively easy to use long-tail reverbs in non-sparse mixes without mud (without relying on stereo field separation or complicated EQ), although the reverb itself can become much less audible in a non-sparse mix. (While it can apparently act as more of a gluing tool in a dense mix, the cpu load makes it difficult to use multiple instances at once... without a supercomputer.)

Personally not into them but did you try ir reverbs? but the classic style which doesn't use algo.s to shape the tail.

Post

Not really a typical reverb but possibly an appropriate thing is 112db's mikron cascade. It can do endless tails of gentle or drastically modulated sounds.

Post

ADAPTIVERB is excellent for Ambient, modulated stuff.
A bit heavy on CPU but good where you are "coating" several tracks with the same space.

Try blending it with B2 or another verb for a very THICK reverb.
This gives you tons of options.

I don't think you don't need a long tail to be a singer (unless you're auditioning for Spinal Tap).
This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.

Post

In that case, the tail must go to 11.
Doing nothing is only fun when you have something you are supposed to do.
