With the sends, your reverb settings will be the same for all the sounds in the path. But often you don't want to have the reverb decay the same for clap and hi-hats etc. In this case sends won't work, use inserts.

That's exactly why sends are used tho and often with Room verbs because by having the same reverb and decay on the clap and hi hat you are putting them in the same room and in effect creating an overhead mic on your drum kit.

I almost always find that a plate (Arturia or Transatlantic, sometimes Valhalla) is my favorite all purpose reverb.

With electronic music you don't need to make everything sound like it's in the same room, and often things having different reverbs or no reverb (kick) vs heavy reverb (clap) contrasts nicely. It's a creative decision.

LiquidSonics Illusion or Lustrious Plates are my goto’s on pretty much everything these days. However, the new LiquidSonics Cinematic Rooms sounds stunning as well!

I also really like Acons Verberate 2.

What an awesome thread! I've always wondered why there are so many different reverb types and which ones to go for in which situation. As I'm just starting out with a DAW (Tracktion Waveform) I'm also wondering which reverbs and settings are good starting points -especially for 80s type r&b/synth-funk/electro etc.? Do I need to buy expensive plugins or are the ones that usually come with most DAWs or free 3rd party plugins good enough to get started?
I'm especially interested in getting old drum machines of that era (DMX, Linndrum, TR-808 etc.) to sound good with the different sounds on each track (kick, snare, hihat etc.) so I can apply different EQ, reverb and other effects individually.

Someone mentioned the Fabfilter Pro-R plugin earlier in this thread which got me curious, so I looked up their website and found it to be expensive (Eur 169/US$ 199), but there was a nice video there entitled Beginner's guide to reverb which I found very informative.
