Aether sounds very good too but IMO it has quite complicaded GUI and big "footprint" to use it in live-sound enviroment. The same was with ConvoFX (nice simple "three-knob controled" reverb plugin but again - convolution based). But I have to admit that its soun is lovely too. I tried Reverberate LE too but since this is convolution based reverb it did not work in my SAC at all. BTW can anyone say/guess how difficult is to complile such plugin in SAC/SAW native format ? I mean for its author of course :-). What I especialy like with this plugin is the resizable GUI and sliders for main parameters. Up to now I have tested 57 different reverb VST plug-ins (including Omniverb that I did not like) and ValhalaRoom appears to be the winner for now. To be honest with you there is kinda "money return policy" in case you did not like the plugin, but it would be difficult to transfer money twice I think (transfer fees and so on). In fact AudioDamage`s EOS was the one that I had been interested earlier but since there is no demo I could not try it in SAC, which is crucial for me. He says all the Audo Damage plugs are very good. $99 for a package of effects, but I bought it only for the reverb, after getting a Cakewalk tech to let me have the DLL for a demo.
The reverb in that package is excellent, with a low CPU hit. However, one you didn't mention and which I wrote about somewhere else in the forum is the Cakewalk (Sonar) Sonitus FX.
I've only used it live, and using the lowpass (exactly as you said!), it is a very serviceable reverb with VERY low CPU hit and easy-to-adjust controls. And the Bricasti (hardware version) is brilliant.Īs to "critical listening" - I haven't used it in SAW or for a recording project where critical listening is necessary. But my favorite reverb for many years has been Lexicon, starting with the PCM60, which I still own. Live it's decent and better than nothing, especially if you roll in the lowpass, but I don't love it at all.Īll of the reverbs you mention here (except Freeverb) take a huge chunk of CPU on my single-core laptops. It has a harsh metallic edge to the tails that I didn't care for in critical listening. Ira, I generally agree with you, but in this case I can't say I'm a fan of the Freeverb algorithm. With an IR reverb it sounds as phenomenal as the real deal. Personally I'm a big fan of the Bricasti M7 stereo sample set out there. Reverberate with a set of Lexicon 960 samples sounds just like the Lexicon without as much tweakability, though you can do all kinds of editing to the impulse within reverberate to adjust the length and decay.
