Thread: Good reverb plugins

Let me just clarify, most of those reverbs have very usable rooms, but I am specifically looking for a large, warm hall reverb sound, reminiscent of the Yamaha rev 500 or SPX.

With a lot of the current digital reverb programs that are even just built into a multitrack software program, many of those have the ability to vary high and low frequency decay times. In that way, you could create very warm reverbs or reverbs that sound more like EMT plates which had a great sizzlingly high frequency decay. While even Lexicon offered warm halls as opposed to bright halls as opposed to plate emulations.

Well, maybe you could give me an example of a plug you like and give me the settings and I will go try it? if you don't mind that would be a big help!

I'm not saying that it requires anybody's third-party plug-in. It's a matter of how you adjust your onboard software reverb program more than anything else. And that varies with every manufacturers particular software and what is included and how it works. I really don't use anyone's third-party plug-ins for reverb. Though I do have the Timeworks, 4080 designed to somewhat mimic the Lexicon 480 which gives one the ability with a software knob to adjust the coloration of the reverb. And deeper within that plug-in lies the ability to adjust separate low & high frequency decay settings if you just don't want to use the simple knob. It even gives you a choice of whether you want a 32-bit or 64-bit style algorithm and I can't recommend anything there either because it depends on what you want. Only you can decide that by experimentation, trial and error. I generally enjoy and most frequently go to the more brighter Plate reverb sound as opposed to the more muddier warm halls. Which is probably because I have owned 2 actual EMT & Studio Technologies actual plate reverb units from the 1970s through to the mid-1980s. And I like the sizzle that those plate reverbs had. I miss them dearly. But unfortunately, they are impractical to have in a Remote Truck.

When I want a nice muddy sounding reverb, I go for my hardware Yamaha SPX 90 units which I really don't care much for when it comes to reverb. But even in programs like Adobe Audition, it has numerous different types of reverbs in which to choose from. Some require more CPU resources and some require less CPU resources and with that difference, comes different sounding algorithmic reverbs. Some sound like crap and some come closer to the more refined sounding plates. So that's about the only help I can provide for you. Most of the software I am currently using is not what we would call state of the art. But it works just fine for me as I know how to tweak reverb programs to get most of what I want out of them. And I generally just utilize the Adobe Audition built-in reverb selections. Then I generally choose which one I like the sound of and then go ahead and start tweaking it. These are not what we would call convolution reverb programs but algorithmic reverb programs. I'm not into that convolution stuff because I really haven't found what I like to hear most. I've even tried making my own convolution samples in the National Presbyterian Church right next door to NBC-TV in Washington DC. And then also the National Episcopal Cathedral a little further down the road on Wisconsin Avenue just above Georgetown, DC. And this was experimenting with a convolution reverb program trial which I deemed an unnecessary expenditure and so, I don't have it and I don't use that. Other people swear by them. So you might want to look into one of those convolution reverb plug-ins? And generally, they ain't cheap.

Altiverb is a great convolution reverb.

Aether is a great algorithmic reverb.

Altiverb looks like the shizzzzzzle!!!.

That looks like the one!. Pricey it may be, but it looks like it just works, and it is tweekable in the way I want it to be!.

Cheers guys!.

I've used Altiverb since version 2. Audio Ease provides great support and their impulse responses are among the best, if not the best.

Since I got Waves IR, I'm using it for almost everything...
