Ambience

User Interface:
Looks pretty good. The layout is excellent. Every knob feels like its in the correct place. My only gripe is the font size, which, on my 1600x1024 monitor, is squint-tastic!

Sound:
Actually I'm very impressed. So far ambience has done a great job with any audio I've thrown at it. The tails are sharp and clear. In my opinion this Reverd stands very well amongst other plug-ins costing hundreds of dollars.

Features:
Special mensions should go to the Quality/CPU parameter, which can help tame cpu useage whilst mixing, and the 'Hold' parameter which effectively freezes the reverb tail until the button is released. Nice for automated madness! I'd say Ambience has just the right amount of features. You don't get bogged down trying to find the 'size' parameter in amongst 400 others, but there's enough to meet all but the strangest reverb requirements. The demo is fully featured, but has a nag screen, and no time restriction.

Documentation:
I honestly haven't had to use it! Ambience is super-intuitive :)

Presets:
Comes with about 60 or 70 presets. Many from KVRians! You can almost always find a good starting point.

Customer Support:
I've not needed it, but the Smart Electronix Forum here at KVR is the place to look.

Value for Money:
11/10 on this. This is probably the best donationware plug-in I've come across!

Stability:
I've never had a crash, but the CPU can load can be heavy. There's always the 'Quality' settings if you find its too much.

Overall:
I'm extremely happy with this plug. Its become my staple reverb source, due to incredible ease of use, and wonderful sound. You'd be daft not to download it really!!

Additional Note: We as consumers should be encouraging more of these wonderful Donationware projects. Please do donate something (anything) if you use this... it can only benefit everyone :)Read Review
