Best reverbs !?

[HcDoom]

I'm still rocking R4 and Nimbus!

Michael Carnes is a legend. Great sounding plugins.

At this moment I have Fabfilter Pro R2, Valhalla Vintage Verb, shimmer and Valhalla Room. I also load some sweet Bricasti impulses to my Convolution Reverb. Also I have Soundtoys Superplate reverb, which sounds nice for sure!
I want to have some one main and universal reverb. I am thinking about Cinematic Rooms.. does it still worth? And maybe another variants?
At this moment probably the main reverb for me is Pro R2.

I'm a big fan of cinematic rooms (pro) although I probably don't use it as deeply as those who are doing film post production. It's on every one of my mixes because I use it as the general reverb and pretty much every bus goes to it so that everything sounds like it's in the same space.

But, honestly, I've heard good things about valhalla room and you've got Pro R2 so I'd download a demo and see if it's giving you something you haven't already got. It may be that you're already covered for rooms.

Cinematic rooms has a very good and highly configurable early reflections stage, which can add some degree of artificial chorus if desired. The tail/body/late stage is designed to sound smooth and realistic (though there are also chorus controls). It's the sort of reverb where sounds melt into the distance and has a very nice front/back depth. Very different to something like Tai Chi, where you can control the density, and the late stage can be thinned out into individual echos.

Add an ADSR, envelope follower, LFO, MSEG, sequencer, keytracker, or whatever to your favorite reverb's parameters. The amount of movement and features you can unlock and inject into your existing 3rd party reverbs via Bitwig is pretty insane. They become whole new plug-ins.

...

Yup, that's cool stuff.

I occasionally mess around with doing that kind of thing in Voltage Modular.

Probably you are right. I need to check the demo of Cinematic Rooms first...

I've got more reverbs than I could use in my life-time, but for the stuff I make I keep coming back to my two workhorses: Native Instruments Raum (which everyone probably already has by now) and lately, more and more, UJAM's UFX-Reverb (which everyone can have right now since it's free - https://www.ujam.com/ufx/reverb/). Some of the honorable mentions: Eventide Blackhole, Lunacy Beam, D16 Toraverb 2, Unfiltered Audio Tails.

Also, for hardware reverb modules, I'm absolutely in love with the Neon Egg Planetarium 3 (I've got Eventide H90, Meris MercuryX, and StryMon BigSky). So across software & effects, I tend to gravitate towards simpler stuff where I can get good results quickly, without getting losing track of time tweaking things which really don't matter to most others. There's room for endless tweaking for sure, but simplicity usually gets me 80-90% of where I want to be. If I chase the remaining 10-20%, I usually end up not completing my objective

I have around 93 of them in my folder I probably need subfolders to find the type of reverb I want quicker. I like the plate ones from airwindows. I think I just throw them on randomly to see if I can get a a sound I like. I seem to be searching alot for delays with sequencers and variable times and not worrying about the reverbs that much.

[osiris]

I'm always using Raum. I like Spacer also. I like Baby Audio Crystalline, but it's a CPU hog.

[Gam456]

As few people already mention. Protoverb is pretty good for a free reverb.

I forgot about Raum. It's also on my board. Need to check it for sure.

[mjolnir]

Stone Voices DReverb is pretty nice for mega-long reverb tails.

[xx JPRacer xx]

Polyverse Comet is really good and if you like to automate parameters it's the smoothest I've heard. You can also "morph" between five different presets with adjustable time betwwen morph. They also included a cut down version (I think it's identical but without the presets morphing) in Filterverse, which is on sale atm.

Minimal Swarm Reverb is my go to when I just want to insert a nice verb tail into an instrument. Love it because it's so fast to dial in and the visual feedback is excellent.

The reverbs in Shaperbox are fantastic, and I'll often reach for those if Swarm's not doing the job. Even if I'm not using Shaperbox's time-based modulation, which is the plugin's calling card, but it's there when you need it. Way underrated reverb plugin, presumably because it does so many other things. But it has a ton of great sounding reverb algos that cover a wide range of territory.

Pro-R for main Aux sends.

Fog Convolver for realistic and not so realistic convolutions. Love the included IRs, the interface is a little fiddly and non-intuitive though.

Baby Audio Spaced Out for times when I want a combo verb and delay.

I demo'd bx_Aura and the models sound great. But the real value of this plugin is the ducking/gating is fantastic. Not interested at full price but will definitely buy it when they eventually put it on deep discount.

Other things I've demo'd but not bought.... The LiquidSonics stuff is great, but I'm not really a reverb cork sniffer, so not interested at those prices. Polyverse Comet also sounds incredible and does a few cool things, but is way, way overpriced for what it is. Valhalla stuff is ok but way overrated IMO and don't really care for the interfaces. Bitwig's built-in reverb sucks, never found a case where it outperformed my other verbs.
