Eventide Blackhole Immersive

Still, the differences are obvious. I did end up demoing immersive version and compare it quite extensively and there is no doubt they are quite different sounding. In my opinion immersive version does sound "better" but I didn't upgrade, even at the very good discount. Why? I rarely use so long reverbs and when I do I almost always end up using Ariesverb for it.

the real fun begins when you start using the crossfeed and the loop next to the predelay knob, you can achieve very long and smooth tails, also the EQ is very helpful to further shape the reverb response
i can see this reverb to be one of the best for ambient and score, also because of the multichannel processing
for drums or material with a lot of transients i prefer plate reverbs with short decay time

Immersive sounds great on freezing unlike many similar reverbs. Rather than descending into an atonal wash of filtered noise, it sounds clear and not overly effected. Looking forward to sampling some reverb tails and making an instrument or two.

I'm somewhat missing the resonance knob in the og version though. Not entirely sure what it did but it was something I almost always tied to the ribbon modulator when using reverb as an effect rather than space simulator.

I'm sure it's amazing, but I only reach for my Blackhole plugin every so often. No way I could justify that price for what I do.

It was $50 and worth it.
Not on sale? Yeah too steep an ask.

The regular price is utterly delusional. It's a nice reverb to be sure, but $499?? That's just insane. Bitwig cost me about less than half that. And in AUD, Immersive would have been ariund $800. That's more than an average weeks rent.

Of course, all this made the $49 seem like a "cannot afford to miss this" sort of deal to my stupid ape brain at least. I mean, it sounds lush and smooth but I would say Valhalla Room is just as nice if not better and much more efficient. Although Immersive has made its way into my track template for a quick ambience builder. Used sparingly, it's great. Just not 500bucks great.

I think it sounds great from the demo. Trying to score a regular blackhole license and upgrade it, or if anyone wants to sell their immersive license let me know. Also looking for SP2016.

Does anyone know the current crossgrade price from Blackhole to Blackhole Immersive?

Blackhole is on sale.

Blackhole is on sale.

i think i payed $49 for the upgrade. definitly not more than that.

[enCiphered]

It´s $149.50 now. It was $49.00 a few weeks ago. They switch up the prices like a DJ at a bad party, random and never in a good way

[Noisewall]

Shoot. Do they have sales pretty regularly? Or almost never? Is it best to do the "crossgrade" path?

[Sound_Bear]

The non-crossgrade Immersive purchase is $ 99 at the moment. Does anyone know how much buying a crossgrade from Blackhole standard will cost at the moment? And if it's less, is there a minimum period you have to own the standard license before being eligible for that twice-reduced price, or can you have a recent standard activation?

(Edited for clarity)

It's $49.50 to crossgrade from Blackhole normal to Immersive
