There simply is not one a single tool that performs best at everything. The moment this has really sunken in, you start to be a much better mixer/engineer.
Like I said in another thread, the AAR can do a modulation thing on large rooms (thanks again to brok for that gorgeous patch) that makes my Lex 300s sound a lot less high end in comparison. They're vastly superior on drums (and small, lively rooms in general), but they're not better on everything.
This really applies to anything, microphones for instance. You use a certain mic in combination with a certain preamp on a certain source, because it works best that way.
Many of the big names in the business keep a lot of their gear at a certain setting all the time - at where it's best. They never change the settings. That's sort of presets in hardware (wish I could afford that...).
Right now good hardware is still better in most situations, but there's more and more software that excells at a particular task.
So, guys, stop defending your purchases - even though you like the stuff very much, there most certainly is something else that is superior in a certain situation.

Now this is a reverb test, bro. Bravo!!Boulotaur2024 wrote:Ok so I decided to make a more thorough A/B comparative between CSR and AA using vocal samples this time.
CSR sounds like this :

Overall I prefer the dry sound.

Anyway, on drums, I love metallic reverbs.
Lexicons are ringing reverbs. But I LOVE them (more than EMT here and there). It depends on the audio material. And it's a matter of taste
How can we compare a 50 parameters reverb with an other one? My PCM70 has 50 parameters. Should I use presets? tweek? The success of a reverb unit depends on the number of big engeneers who used it for hit songs. Sad but this is true.
