Best reverb, for all jobs? (ongoing process)

[elxsound]

Hmmmmmmm. Well, that is part of why I'd be buying one vs another would be the IR's.

I'll have to look more into that in the next few. Britcasti has some freebies I'll futz with. It's a 110 right now so even with the A/C I don't feel like wearing cans.

I'm pretty sure that for the same price you could expand your IR library. I can only think of Morevox IR's at the moment, but I also noticed on the product page of Retroverb that their Impulse responses (for just that library) are included in Relektor.

[hibidy]

Yeah, I'm sorry but I'm confused. Anyways, I'm about to chill with melda, and use the IR's from britcasti to open air AND hofa as well (and hopefully reflektor) pronto

I just hate picking up my guitar when I'm feelin' the heat

[hibidy]

Also, for clarification purposes, I've made a few decisions.

a) I'm going to stick with what I have for algo stuff. I've actually re-impressed myself with my RC 24/48. I now remember why I liked them over some others. I'm not going to get an algo I like any better than the NI stuff.

b) I don't want to spend as much as altiverb. So the 200 buck "ceiling" is there now. Now that is still a ton of coin, but the Hofa is in a "game changing" class to my ears. Still have to investigate a couple of problems (though they got back to me today ) and then make sure I'm not placeboing with the sound.

c) Thanks for all the replies so far, it's been a great thread!

[hibidy]

No luck with getting the britcasti stuff to work across the board

[hibidy]

BTW, someone emailed me about something that for some reason I don't have the email for anymore If that person could email me about "you know what convo verb wise" I'd appreciate it

How about this

http://www.relab.dk/lx480_complete.html

This is apparently as close as you get to a Lexicon 480L reverb in software that does'nt run on the UAD platform. You do need a Ilok though.

you can get it cheaper at Plugindiscounts than you'll get direct from them. Actually they have the LX480 complete for sale for $349.00 (normally goes for $500.00)

To my ears it sounds just like the real deal.. and I'd rather pay for this than cough up near $5000.00 for a real one lol

I'm not sure how long the sale will be on for but I would definitely check it out.

You could cough up $3695.00 for an actual Bricasti M7 (Doesn't include the remote )

Well, if money would not be a problem I would prefer some Eventide HW stuff like the H8000x, Orville or the DSP units.

I bought VVV before Room coz I just didn't get Room at all after a few tries. If anything I may even like Room more now. I'll be getting Shimmer in a bit too at some point.

I rarely use convolution these days. It was fun a while back when there weren't any really outstanding reverbs about (that I could afford any way). Convo was a way to mimic some nice spaces. But what with the new Valhalla stuff, my understanding of Reverb has become more sophisticated. I'll use Convo for Special Fx or for Sound Design. And also for beefing up or cutting out drum sounds. But that's about it.

It's VVV and Room all the way for me. Oh and Eos as well which I believe Sean wrote the algos for. Having said that, I probably end up using AD ADverb more than anything else coz I have it on most of my start up templates for my DAWs.

Shimmer is a wonderful effect reverb and works especially well on synth pad sounds and anything needing a lush smoothness that becomes part of the sound. I have little doubt you'll be impressed with it. Room and VVV can do long, lush tails but Shimmer is another beast entirely.

Yep. The Bricasti IRs are nowhere in the same league as the actual hardware unit.

I've been demoing it for a while.

It cuts out every minute or so but leaves a nice little tail in the mix that is quite random and interesting. Then it comes back in.

But I still haven't been able to get as deep and lush a reverb that is just totally integrated in the core of the sound as Verbtone. The latency is very high on it so it can only really be used on whole mixes, but it is the sweetest most beatiful reverb I have ever heard in my life, bar none, including any of the Valhalla stuff.

Drawbacks? It is CPU thirsty and it isn't very flexible, more a kind of 'This is the effect, do you want more or less of it' kind of thing. But that is ok coz of how it's modeled, I guess it has to be that way. Also, that kind of reverb is not a workhorse, it's the sort of thing you only need now and again.

I'm surprised more people don't rave about it.

And it only costs a bit more than a tenner. I can't understand anyone who says they are a reverb junkie and them not having this in their box of tricks.

In fact, I think I'm going to upgrade to the bundle and get Necklace which is a modeled spring reverb. It's only a fiver or so.

If it's half as good as the modeling on Verbtone it will be a winner. This guy is a dsp genius (quintosardo is it?)

I like SKNote's plate and spring ones a lot. Good price, too. They can't shimmer, though. Shimmer can be great to add subtle sparke and edge to piano or acoustic guitar if used carefully. Not many tools can do similar.

[codec_spurt]

What the hell. I just bought Stagespace while I was there.

Again, it's only a bit more than a tenner.

I'm expecting this to be 'interesting' and a bit more versatile than Verbtone. I'm also hoping it's a bit lighter on the CPU and without so much latency.

I'll let you know... (and about Necklace too).

I don't think they do demos (might be wrong).

I don't doubt you. I haven't used it THAT much. It took me a while to get my head around Room as I've mentioned a couple of times already. Don't get me wrong, I think it is superb though, and I am definitely going to buy it.

ADverb is one of those plugins that I thought about a million times yet never ended up buying. Still has it's place next to VVV then?
