I tried the other Valhalla verbs but didn't enjoy them anywhere near as much as VVV. I love it on choirs and synths more than drums or strings. It has the most amazing modulation I have ever heard and is great for really rich and thick reverb tails that really stick to sounds. I'm using those 3 algorithms exclusively in VVV now.īack in the day, I also bought ArtsAcoustic Reverb and honestly, I love it just as much now as I did then. Smooth Room for something that sounds like a real hall with resonance, Smooth Random for an open airy random hall sound and Smooth Plate for a reall rich and thick plate sound. I really REALLY love ValhallaVintageVerb, particularly all the Smooth modes.
Nebula is not suited for most of us due to it's heavy cpu usage and latency issues but I can assure you that because of the technology it uses this reverb pack sounds very real surpassing many well know convolution reverb plugins/IRs. If you like an analogue feel, a not very conventional rarely recommended reverb IR pack is VNXT sound EMT140 reverb for Acustica audio Nebula pro.
Valhalla has been recommended so I would say have a look at the Lexicon PCM bundle. Works great on many tracks.įor algo I use either Valhalla for clean or Lexicon halls for coloured reverb. I use fusion Halls, live hall with shortened early response. Once you will find an IR suited in your work flow you will never go back. For an all round and low cost convolution reverb I can't recommend enough Reverberate with fusion IRs. Sure extra tweaking/functions give them more boost. The Bricasti M7 would be a steeper priced option in that direction of course but does sound heavenly of course.Ĭonvolution reverbs depend heavily on how clean the impulse responses are. I mainly use my Reverb4000 hardware unit, which I absolutely adore. Maybe TC will come out soon enough with a VSS3 plugin AU, VST and the lots. For algorithmic reverbs I'd still vote for the Lexicon PCM native reverb above all the others. I myself am using the 1st version of the suite. They released the second version (surround update) of the Vienna Suite some time ago. Its settings are frighteningly tweakable. The Hybrid Reverb mixes convolution IR's with an algorithmic tail. The convolution reverb and NB the Hybrid Reverb are really nice. They sound pretty clean, which is good for some things, not for everything of course. The presets are pretty much tailored for their own libs but all the plugins are working brilliantly on all other things as well. Their reverbs that are part of the Vienna Suite are excellent.
