First, let's deal with the copy/protection thing since I saw that thread got locked..
While slightly tasky, it's by no means a real burden at all; from start to finish, like the other IK products I've registered, the entire process from installation to registration took less than 5 minutes with an internet connection at the ready. About the only thing you actively are required to enter by hand is the initial software serial number and IK takes it from there. All you need to do afterwards is copy/paste the rest of the entries, so it's really no big deal.
That's the end of that discussion as far as I'm concerned..
So firing up eXT I loaded the CSR Hall vst and hooked up my Ibanez Baritone.
To put it bluntly:
I am very f**king impressed.
Stupid adjectives like dense, lush, beautiful, musical, and most importantly, CLEAR, even through a heavy mix come to mind. I haven't had a chance to run through everything(I had to forcefully put down my guitar long enough to write this), but my early impressions are that I can safely say this will be my default reverb from here out..
Good Job, IK, and thanks for the SR discount, Squids!
) but I have already made a couple of presets with it myself that I find more "reassuring".(generally speaking, the Hall presets all seem to be a bit on the "dark" side for my taste, and while one can roll off some low frequency in the plugin itself, I feel that sometimes it could use a little high-mid boosting from an external EQ). On the other hand, the Plate plugin is my new "go to" for that type of reverb.
Just kidding. Yes, this is exactly the kind of stuff I like to do. I am here to help so, yes, if I find out any specifics on that I will give you guys a head's up.
