I use the SIR impulse 'verb in SX, it's a bit of a CPU muncher, but gives me much better reults than most sythetic plugs.

I mainly work in Live 4 now, which has no PDC, and am tempted by voxengo pristine space or the waves IR because they have usable latency.

I wouldn't buy a non-impulse plug right now.

Ambience sounds a bit metallic and 'ringy' to me, no matter how much I tweek it. The Kjaerhus classic sounds nicer to me than the SX verb, and is a freeby.

I know people using the Powercore and the UAD who like the reverbs. But for native plugs, I'm sold on impulse modellers.

Sirius Freeverb Too: free, really low on cpu (no really!!!) flexible and very good sounding... (based on Jezar's Freeverb algo but much more flexible)

I had the same problem but finally I went cold turkey. I just sayd to myself "Today I will choose one reverb". Then I played with all my reverbs and chose ONE.

From then on I've used the same reverb. Its really helped my mixing too. I just learned to do the best I can with that reverb. No more searching through folders of reverbs for me. I got more important things to concentrate on like my melodies and chords etc.

I don't

Right on Donkey. I am in your camp on reverb now. In fact I always find reverb detracts unless it is used very sparingly and works best with only with voice IMO.

I did a bunch of acoustic guitar recording last night as I finally got a good setup down room and mike/pickup-wise for capturing teh sound of my Larrivée. After laying down some reasonable take I tried a bunch of reverbs including Sir with a whole ton of impulses, as well asAmbience and the Sonitis reverb in Sonar 4. None of them improved the recodrding. I ended up leaving the reverb off as trecording sounded better without it.

If I owned that one, thats the one I would choose. I REALLY like the sound. I'll probably pick it up someday.
But for now I'm using Wavearts Masterverb. I love it. CPU friendly and has the sound I like and good interface.
In the end, the listeners dont give a f**k what reverb is used as long as the song is good. So I just picked a verb that I liked and thats it.

Is PSP SpringVerb using the spring-algorithm from Easyverb, or does it sound different?

Rennaisance Verb and TrueVerb from my Waves Platinum bundle.

I think I have to provide a few presets for Freeverb Too once

I'm partly in the same camp - good reverbs are imo the ones which use can use very sparingly and then they add some certain magic to a track but you usually don't notice much of it at all - reverb should only be noticed when switching it off...

Another vote for RoomVerb M2. I use it on everything. It can be a little CPU hungry, (at least with my Celeron

) so I sometimes have to rely on Anwida Soft DX reverb lite (there's a VST version of it now):

... while I'm laying down tracks. Always RoomVerb in the end, though.

What Reverb do people use?
