Best reverb for small spaces

[donkey tugger]

The website is long gone, but the excellent free set of Samplecity IRs of the Bricasti M7 is arachived here;

A huge selection, top notch quality and all types of reverb and sizes. Use these loads.

This library is completely FREE, to comply with the request from Bricasti that it is allowed to create impulse responses with the M7, as long as these IRs are not included in any commercial product.

Is this library free, when used in a commercial track?

It means that the impulse responses themselves are not included with any commercial IR library/VST etc.

Modulation is just a color tool, it may or may not sound good in a small space. There are a few reasons for subtle modulation in real spaces, like movement of the source or other people, the little air vibrations impacting against each other…

Yes, mainly movement.
That's why I think it's not directly related to the small space topic.
But feel free to add modulation if you think it sounds cool. That's just my opinion, I'm a member like you all are, and if there was a perfect solution to all sound problems this would be the best revolution ever for all of us.

VSL x Inspired Acoustics x LiquidSonics working together on the perfect Fusion-IR atmos IR-generating hybrid reverb that’s compatible with Sound Particles, that’s… my 2022 theory for the perfect reverb. There you go.

...I was going to say. If you want a drum room, before thinking of reverb try a fast attack compressor that crushes transients with a short release. Blend in wet signal in parallel to taste. This tends to emphasize room without adding any metallic qualities or muddiness...

Bought Eventide SplitEQ for this kind of jobs. A negative dial on a transient shaper will probably also do the job. So, no reverb needed in the chain?

I would recommend using room IRs. You could also try an algo reverb that allows you to dial in Early Reflections and Tail decay separately. Then just use the Early Reflections with little or no Tail. Early Reflections sometimes is everything you need. Free Oril River and Dragonfly reverbs can do this or get Nimbus / Phoenix reverb for 10 bucks (frequently on sale).

There is also MIR Pro for $450 on sale, which probably doesn’t include the $400+ of room packs!

You maybe be able to find a deal for SPAT for $1.5k.

No reverb needed. Transient shaper should be able to, but it’s worth comparing the results (to your taste). I get different results from different compressors (and settings) so the same is true for transient shapers. You might even want to add a compressor after the transient shaper for exaggerating the sound.

hi i need new reverb, the GAS is real, something big
thanks

If you want something that sounds awesome but other people are too cool to use because the GUI is very basic, demo the Anwida reverbs. All of them are good.

get out!

small spaces thread, take your big verbs elsewhere!!!

(do you have reaktor? dark star ii )

[martiu]

Reaktor is my main sound design tool, i think i may have that dark star thing, have to check (i have over 800 ensembles from the user library)

OMG i just tried that thing and it is awesome, i especially like the grain delay with pitch control for every channel, thanks

here is a patch from a old additive synth with Dark Star on it, so beautiful
