Silverspike reverbs... opinions please! 2005-10-18T23:04:49+00:00 Hey! My quest for the perfect reverb continues... In other important effects I found plug-ins that I love long ago (Kjaerhus Compressor, EQ7, etc) but reverb seems tricky to say the least. The best sounding reverb I found so far is the "Full Reverb" effect that comes with Adobe Audition (which I already own). But I want a VST reverb that I can use in my main host (Ableton) in real time, rather than needing to add it destructively in Audition. I like fairly dark, but realistic reverbs with plenty of space. CPU efficiency is also a major issue here! I have already demoed and eliminated: Ambience : too CPU hungry by far! SIR/convolution : latency Princetown 2016 stereo room : very disappointed with this one! SpinAudio Roomverb M2 : slightly dull and too complex for my needs R66 : Sounds to my ears rather like the Kjaerhus Classic reverb which I already use a lot (and like... but I want something more "open" and natural sounding) PSP Easy Verb : Quite nice, but not enough control to tweek out the sound I want Glaceverb : too coloured Wizooverb W2 : too big. Not very natural to my ears. Also overpriced, and I'm concerned about future VST support now they are owned by DodgyDesign Waves R-Verb and Trueverb : possibly the most suitable for my needs (low CPU, good full sound with a clean tail, some but not too much ability to customise) but overpriced and PACE "protection" system ...which brings me to the Silverspike reverbs. Somehow until today I managed to completely overlook these ( Reverb.it and R2 ) but having read through the London Elektricity feature in the latest CM magazine I noticed reverb.it get rave reviews from LE. So, who here uses it, and what have your experiences been? Are these two both well supported by the developer? Do they have an ongoing future? Are they working well for you? Obviously I have downloaded the demos and am already very impressed... VERY impressed. They both seem very capable of producing the kind of reverb sound I'm after, and also seem efficient in their CPU consumption. So please give me the second opinion I'm after! Also still in the fray: Arts Acoustic : I'm impressed with this demo, but not yet convinced it is worth twice the price of R2... Masterverb 5 , which I will demo as soon as it becomes available.
