How would your music sound in a perfect room? A supernatural reverb from denise

[Denise.Audio]

I agree about the marketing - You mean to say everyone has been doing digital reverbs wrong for the past 40+ years, and it took until now until a small plugin company finally figured out how to make a digital reverb that doesn't sound metallic and awful?

That said, the actual reverb sounds nice and smooth. Not sure it sounds significantly better than the myriad of other qualty reverbs available, but it's definitely up there.

Hi AdvancedFollower, thanks for your comment. We're certainly not saying that every plugin developer has been doing something wrong for the past 40+ years, nor are we saying that this technique is bad, we're just saying that this technique of building plugins has a propensity towards generating unwanted elements in it's replication of reverberation spaces.

Many thanks
Joe

This definitely sounds different! The heavy latency is quite surprising for a reverb. The controls are also wildly quirky; insane input/output gain, lowpass control is reversed, split-mode creators stereo (??), it has a giant freq spectrum for no apparent reason (no visible filters), there's no dropdown for presets and a few of the controls create very annoying artifacts. It's also very CPU demanding!
Like the uniqueness, but in general, the plugin seems rushed and rough around the edges.

Thanks for your input, fceramic. It's not the interface for everyone, and some people have some great things to say about the interface. But have you heard how it sounds?

HI fceramic, we've updated our manual to include some information on the plugin latency. Feel free to read if you wish.

Guys your Perfect Room sounds gorgeous. There are no activity in this thread, I think it’s because so many reverbs on the market right now (or it’s because of cheap looking interface) but you need to know - you’re making some quality stuff ) keep going!)

[DJErmac]

I can't wait to try it !!!

perfect room?
you gonna tidy my studio?

[plexuss]

Interesting reverb. Why does the tail cut off suddenly (shimmer, detune, ducker off)? I was expecting a longer smoother fade. It fades slowly and then gates pretty quickly.

[DJErmac]

I have the same -problem-. There are lovely features (congrats for the ducker !!), an interesting sound, but I'm disturbed by the abrupt tail. And in my humble opinion, 5000ms appears not to be long enough to reproduce the longest reverbs I'm trying to create (why no FLAT XL algo ?).

[spoontechnique]

I got Perfect Room. My initial criticism is that the control throws seem finicky, especially the tail. I often have to ctrl drag for precise values. Overall I think there's a unique sound in here, but it feels less usable than I expected. I'll keep tweaking.

But have you heard how it sounds?

Strange music to test a perfect room (the source is probably full of some spring reverbs in guitar amps already...). The room in this example sounds like a bad concert hall with mics somewhere in the middle of the room...
As a perfect room I imagine something like the Berlin Kammermusik Hall, and you would feed classical music into it...
But you get IRs for those rooms without problem already...
(There ain’t no such thing as a perfect room anyway...)

[DJErmac]

Personally I would get it for sure, as the intro price is excellent, if I knew the developper is going to modify a few things, or even propose an upgrade price to a v2 version, but I have to say it seems unfinished as it is now, and I don't really know how I could use it as is. The controls feel like you can do things that are completely pointless on a reverb, the algos are too extreme (the dark is crazy dark and the clear is ear-piercing clear) or not enough (no flat xl). And why the need of a XL version of each algo ? Every time the release time becomes unpredictable. Why not simply longer release times ? It needs adjustments for sure.
The sound is right, but the plugin needs tweakings to become a great reverb imho.
