Seriously, if CPU is an issue, I’d also go with Redline Reverb. Excellent lush and alive reverb with a quite low impact.

Quickquack’s algo reverb is fabulous also, but 32 bit only so far (64 is supposed to be awaited soon). I use JBridge.

2C Audio Breeze would have been an excellent choice also, but the company is having huge issues. It’s not recommended to buy anything from them at the moment, unless you’re brave and have some free time ahead.

I believe that Acon Digital’s reverb also has a quite low impact, and it’s excellent too, I use it on every project.

Check also Ariesverb. I don’t know why this one seems forgotten, it sounds superb.

That’s what I would choose. :wink:

ValhallaVintageVerb is low CPU, so are the Exponential Audio plugins. Cinematic Rooms Pro is considered the best reverb by many and it's pretty light on the CPU, too -- about the same as VVV on my system.

Gotta be a troll and live in a cave then, though.

That's what I noticed. It's an older reverb, but when I put it back to back with others it sounds quite acceptable, but has a smaller CPU footprint than many.

There's some real mystical voodoo going on with this one.

Your stock DAW reverb.

In my case Fruity Reverb 2, which is perfectly servicable - uses 0% CPU and using it in old or new projects will never cause compatibility issues in future.

Rverb with some filtering ;)

Yep, it sounds quite nice. Probably forgotten because AFAIK development has been stalled for years.
A well-behaved signature.

In my testing a couple years ago, the above noted Saschart was the lowest, followed by:
AnwidaSoft Spatio Light
Free: https://www.anwida.com/as_plugins/spatio-light/

A little bit higher in CPU usage were:
Valhalla SuperMassive - Lyra mode
AudioDamage ADVerb v1
AudioDamage MangleVerb
2BReverbed
Kilohearts Reverb
Valhalla Vintage - Concert hall mode
