And I thought that killed my reverb budget.Īnd then a few days ago PSP released their 2445, and it's a really convincing Lexi clone, and a LOT easier to tweak than the UAD version. It's till a resource hog, but it is getting close to that magical "best of algo & convo". Oddly enough LiquidSonics released V2 or Reverberate around this time, and I was really impressed, I upgraded. And at $50/each it's difficult to justify the more expensive alternatives. Which is not to discount 2CAudio, they also sound great, but not quite as great as the Exponential reverbs, so they sort of fell out of the running.įrom a workflow perspective I preferred the Valhalla plugins - they lean towards homely I suppose, but they are really easy to use. in my studio, with my monitors (and ears) the differences were very subtle, and almost entirely in the very last few mSec of the tail. I did end up ranking them, and I thought the Exponential reverbs edged out the others, but I'd be hard pressed to spend the difference between Pheonix and Room or R2 and Vintage. My take, and I might get some of the names reversed but that will be obvious enough.įrom a sound perspective I am fascinated that three reverbs at three very different price points from three different companies sound so good, and so similar. I was in the market for a "better" algorithmic reverb - actually, I'm still searching for a reverb to replace Wizzo-Verb. Not too terribly long ago I trialed (is that a word) reverbs from 2CAudio, Exponential Audio, and Valhalla. It really boils down to what you'll use an algo reverb for. So far I think it'a an excellent reverb and may be my new "go to" There is a lot of tweakability and many people object to the interface. I've read some not so good user reviews on gearslutz or KVR,īut I think it's because people are often thrown by Melda plugs. What I like right away is it's spacial positioning system- very cool. I'm still in the "checking it out phase", been to busy to really get a handle on it.
If that is true, I can only imagine it is excellent.Īether has a lot of knobs- so it's extremely tweakable which is what I look for.Īnother reverb you may want to look into is Melda's Mverb- very cheap! Supposedly Breeze is a simpler version of Aether. I haven't used Breeze but Aether had been my go to reverb for a long time. I don't think of it as something to reach for when I'm trying to emulate a "real space".īut I do use it a lot- especially on guitars. I tend to use it more for smaller pop type music than orchestral. I like Valhalla, but tend to not try it for ERs. Personally I use algos for ER and Convo for tail, but just as many people take the opposite approach.
If that's what you are also doing, then the question is-Īre you using the convolution for, Tail or ER?
So I use the 3 ERs for Near, Middle and Far all feeding into a Tail approach. I also prefer dry samples to the baked in room sound. I didn't think it was "too reverberant", btw. The aptly named Supermassive offers lush reverbs, otherworldly delays and a vast spectrum of atmospheric goodness.Click to expand.Well written track! I liked the development and how well all the various ideas flowed from one to the other. Music-makers have been raving about this creative reverb from Valhalla since it launched this May.
