Just picked up the Sonsig Rev - A , and I am loving it on leads.

Really stunning verb that rivals the old Arts Acoustic.

Are you doing this in parallel sends rather than serially? This is likely the better way, per Sean @ Valhalla (it's somewhere on this board in the archives).

Yes, two different sends

I’m thinking of getting Seventh Heaven. I already have Reverberate 3. Dear Lord, when does it stop?

It's like a mental illness, isn't it.

Truly. And I even have decent Bricasti sounds in Rev3, but that just makes me want *more* Bricasti.

Seventh Heaven Pro is decidedly a better reverb than the standard version.

Don’t love either of them, and also deleted Reverberate 3 from my computer. IRs just aren’t my thing, apparently.

It doesn't - thankfully the guilt just plateaus after a while...

Since my last reply I’ve been messing with Plugin Alliance BM60 and RelabQuantx and think they are excellent as well.

Tbh my go to are
Waves Rverb for main reverb duties
Capitol chambers on Al Schmidt’s preset

Never said anything otherwise, not even remotely, and I am actually a subscriber to the youtube channel. I just don't agree with the "best reverb" opinion video. Comments like yours really put imaginary words into someone's mouth (whether intentionally or not) and try give new meaning to the text quoted, when there simply wasn't anything to read between the lines.

BTW, I don't think anything he showcased on there wasn't a good plugin, I just believe there's better. It also matters what genre and even the sound someone likes. I mean I have always been known as a lexi-s**t, for example. That's the reverb sound I am into, so when the PCM bundle came out, that was it for me, cause I love Lexicon, and when I had hardware effects units, my two verbs were Lexicons. But now I use PT on Mac Silicon, so, things have changed, and even the PC versions, although they work audibly, have GUI issues on high DPI panels.

I knew people that were heavily into the TC sound (I believe in the late 90's and early 2000's they were the main two hardware verbs that people compared, but I could be wrong), and I never liked it and still don't own a TC verb to this day. Reverb is exactly what I said, subjective, in 99% of cases. There are a few that just sound objectively bad and I think all of us would agree on that.

I remember the Lexicon was always the more effect like and the TC was the cleaner room simulator. I do have a use for that sound these days as I learned more about mixing and blending over the years, but if the occasion arises, I use the criminally underrated Sonnox reverb for that task.

Is there anybody here who tried ConvoVerb RV 7 Reverb Bundle by MB Audio Lab? I tried the trial version tonight (the Chamber series, in particular) and I find it rather nice. The reverb (a convolution one) is an UI for an impulse response collection, a bit like Convology, and some IRs work well. I was just wondering why nobody speaks about this product.

I am really digging Inital Audio’s AR1 reverb.
Today is the last day to get it for $19.

It reminds me of 90s low-cost digital reverbs—in a good way.

I own : UAD 140 , IK (all) , Sonnox , Eventide , SIR 3, Atlantic plate , VSS3 & 4 + TC4000 hardware , Impulses of literally everything ...

... and each time I come back to Cinematic room & Seventh Heaven Pro . There is some voodoo in those two.

For something quite unite sounding, Half Life Tape reverb sounds great! Very specific sound though.

Link? It's not showing up in the first three pages of Google search results.

Though there are many other high end choices out there in addition to the ones you have, I think you are totally set with what you've got.

Here are you go!

Half Light Presents: Taped Spaces, a Character Reverb

The UAD Sound City room verb is great!

I love all the Michael Carnes algo's in the PCM Native and Exponential Audio stuff. It's my "go to" when I want to apply something expertly, quickly, and move on.

Lately I've been creating my own reverbs in Bitwig's Grid, and I am loving the results. What's even better about this, is these reverb algo's a literally mine and one of a kind. I'm doing things in the algo's that just are not offered yet in other reverbs, like triggering different feedback paths based off of keytracking, or winding down reverb tails and then restarting based off of different threshold detection triggers. It's quite the rabbit hole to dive down and while I am thrilled with the results, I have alot to learn about the actual ins and outs of creating smooth, non-metallic sounding verbs from scratch.

In the last several months I have stepped out of my comfort zone and started pretty much buying reverbs left and right. There is so much out there and I am quite addicted to sitting at my keyboard playing a nice piano, rhodes, or synth VSTi and critically listening to what every coder's take on a reverb algo is.

If you are selling an algo reverb, I will probably buy it. If you are offering a free algo reverb, I will probably download it. If you paid for or free algo reverb is a tin sounding lemon, I will figure out a way to make lemonade from it lmao.

I have never cared for convolution reverbs. I only use convolution for speaker emulation or early reflections.

Klanghelm tens

Must buy ! 👍🏽😊

I like Klanghelm -- somehow have never heard of this.

Not really trying to put words into anyones mouth, except to say that anything Benn reviewed is really just a matter of his opinion.

I have since then watched the video and see he has missed a whole bunch of them. But that's okay because it really comes off as a top list according to him.

In the case of Vast I thought it was quite a vanilla convolution reverb. Clearly he didn't look at all the transformative tools that it adds to the game, so it's more than just reverb. So perhaps he didn't have a deep enough dive into it.

The TC reverb was a bygone going back, then it's the Bricasti. People often use these as standards to hold reverb against, which is fair enough, The jo the job very well. Except in being so smooth and transparent and lush, they also tend to be incredibly boring. Sometimes you want something gritty, or lofi. This is why spring reverbs still get used.

I have the opinion that there is no such thing as a bad reverb, even the worse sounding reverbs can sound right in certain contexts.

I like Tens too. I also like the Boz ReCoil that was released just prior to Tens.

Other vst and even hardware spring verbs not so much.

But both of these offer functions that make me think twice about their usefulness.

No more Boz for me. Their Apple Silicon updates are inexcusably late and now they've stopped responding to emails, though they've not forgotten how to write new product emails.

hi guys, just a quick psa -- all of the tc 6000 hardware ports are on half-price sale, vss3 and 4 and nonlin among them. (TC had been notorious for not maintaining their plugs but, so far, music tribe has been surprisingly better).

edit: apparently tc is owned by Behrierre now (see below) :( To rationalize my distaste of tc and the whole powercore fiasco I will regard the enemy of my enemy as my ad hoc frenemy! Love it or hate it, there is nothing else in the hard or soft realm that sounds like the vss's

Another PSA since it may matter to some people but not at all to others: TC is part of Music Group, which is run by Uli Behringer.

If I'd have had any of their products before they sold out I'd probably keep using them. But there's no way I'd give them any of my money now. Zero $ of mine go to anything Behringer touches if I can help it.

It matters to me.

Yeah, he's more of a "delay" guy...

Nevertheless the VSS4 is my absolute favorite reverb for piano, and I could use this reverb for all my productions. I dont mind thats Old Mc Uli Behringer who sold me the plugin last black friday in Nov 2023. Its still one of the best reverbs in this world. 129 USD is a good deal, btw.
