Neoverb is available for $40 from Plugin-Alliance for the next couple days.

Thanks for the heads up. How do you rate Neoverb? Seemed like a pretty flexible reverb, but not demoed how it sounds.

I haven’t tried it either. I have PhoenixVerb and R2, and I used to use PhoenixVerb extensively but had to replace it because of M1. I swore off (and at) iZotope, but for $40 maybe I would get Neoverb after all because the demasking AI looks interesting.

One thing holding me back is I’m not sure how many computers you can authorize it on. I registered Relay and found you can only authorize on a single computer.

I've had it for a while but don't feel like I've mastered it yet. I'm getting decent results though, without too much trouble. The smart features don't seem to have too much of an impact, and the demasking is simple and static in implementation compared to Sonible's smart reverb, which is doing dynamic spectral adjustment. There's also a transient smoothing algo and a resonance reducer, prior to the signal going to the reverb. I haven't really figured out the extent to which these are useful yet.
The early reflections seem a bit odd and disconnected from the other reverb components, so some tweaking is required to get things to sit together. But the end result can be very good, and there are a lot of parameters to get to grips with. More experimentation required on my part.

How many authorizations do you get?

Can't remember but I think I've got it on two machines. I think it's just the plugin boutique R4 and phoenixverb that only allow one.

I still use flash verb a lot, it's awesome

This is my favorite reverb, I can't fit it into my bedroom studio so I put it in the kitchen. As long as I can get to the microwave and my chest freezer full of hot pockets, I'm good!

Surely sounds quite dirty...

[FapFilter]

it stinks!

is that a plate reverb?

It's the prototype of EMT 140

Also a big fan of EA reverbs (R4 and Nimbus), which were a steal for ~30€ each, now you get them for €10 at sales.

Fortunately I do not need to skip them, before that I would skip apple, who change interfaces and concepts from model to model as they want and making former invests for ecosystem worthless.

I find the Valhalla plugins are great for sound design. But I'm looking for a more subtle sounding reverb that 'glues' and provides just the right amount of space when used carefully. I really like the transparency and quality of Phoenixverb - it sounds great - but I'm not confident about the whole Izotope support thing (or lack thereof) so that's not really an option.

You could try ARVerb-Room, it's designed to "give space" without distracting the listener too much. It may help gluing multiple tracks by placing them in the same space with varying distances/depths/pans.

ARVerb sounds fantastic!!! Just found it now. Great work!

I like liquid Sonic’s cinematic rooms, Seventh heaven and Tai Chi quite a lot! And Relab LX480 though I don’t use it as a general reverb.

My apologies if this sounds as self-promotion (I'm working for ARVerb).

The GUI buttons don't work in Reason 11.

I always switch between different reverbs and I'm always surprised that there is actually no "best reverb". Currently I have no favorite.
I like the Blackhole and Ultraverb from Eventide, the Sonsig and LX 480 Essentials (Relab) but also the Plate 140 from Arturia. Sometimes I also like to use the Valhalla Plate.
