CR Pro is even better to my ears, but also provides more controls to manipulate the early reflections, which also adds complexity. Unless you're directly comparing the two and listening closely... well...
Funny thing is that I thought was covered in this department, I already had a lot of reverbs which seemed to occupy a rough plateau that I imagined was top tier. I'm scared to demo CR as I'll probably want it... I figure I'll leave it until next year, but the risk there is that it will make me feel I have to go back to old tracks all over again and rework the reverb.

Strangely, that was my least fav liquidsonics reverb. For realistic spaces Stratus seemed to sound more “real” than CR did. I didn’t like the early reflections. I love Tai Chi, Hdcart, and seventh heaven, though.

same, i regularly use Tai Chi and Luscious Plates, but i don't really gel with Cinematic Rooms.

I'd just use one of the Exponential verbs or Neoverb, (which i bought for $25 knowing the EA verbs are discontinued).

Maybe it sounds better in 5.1 ?

It’s very subjective and there’s no right or wrong except choosing one you don’t like. I dislike Big Sky and many love it.

For me, there’s no comparison - CRP all the way (I liked the ERs better than in the standard version). Also for a number of people in Hollywood, apparently! CRP is so beautiful it’s nearly brought tears to my eyes at times.

If you have CR Pro do you also get the standard version? I just tried using my Pro coupon but it wasn't accepted so maybe it isn't needed?

Seems like it should work

Cool thanks

Just demoing Tai Chi, very tasty indeed.

Testing Liquid Sonic's reverb Tai Chi using various percussive one-shot samples, tweaking some parameters on the fly.

a Patchpool Tai Chi soundbank would be interesting Simon :)
not just the long tails, i'd like to hear what you'd do with the chorus and early reflection possibilities. The multiband section is great, but i know i've not even scratched the surface of what this verb can do. I use it too similarly to Pro-R, finding little frequency pockets for instruments. Which it's great at, but the chorus at least begs for more extreme experimentation.

:lol: That's exactly what I did with my current project. The client changed how audio was brought in (now much better, but different) so I used that and the new CR Pro to justify reworking all the reverb sends.

Seventh Heaven and Cinematic Pro, amazing reverbs!

Trying to advertise your non-Liquidsonics products in a Liquidsonics-oriented thread lacks a little class.

I've recently gotten around to demoing Cinematic Rooms Pro, in stereo config rather than surround. It's got me thinking/wondering about reverb design due to the crossfeed control. It's marketed as a naturalistic reverb, but the crossfeed aspect is unlike most other reverbs I've seen except Valhalla Room, and it seems to me not naturalistic. I.e. with crossfeed value low both the early reflections and tail can behave more like a dual-mono reverb in terms of tracking the panning position of the source, and I don't see how real-world acoustics could behave in that manner. I haven't yet been able to test it in mixes, but it strikes me as likely to maintain a more defined soundstage by maintaining spacial separation between elements. People often talk about the depth of the reverb, but I wonder if its virtue is more to do with maintaining sense of stereo position in a manner which may sound 'cinematic' (i.e. grand) but not really naturalistic.
