Best Reverb Plugin?
« on: January 15, 2016, 07:11:43 pm »
Hey all! Any pointers towards what's the best/what are the best reverb plug-ins? Wondering why you like it and what sort of a timbre and space it can give.

Cheers

I'm really in love with Valhalla Shimmer right now. I use it specifically for my breakdowns

Here's a good example of what kind of space it can bring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoKqWfhMe3o

Depends. My machine can handle it fine, but if I slap it on a pad or a pluck, and then bounce it to audio, its fine.

Just a warning, though, I woudln't use it for anything else other than ambient places in the mix. Thats just my opinion. Use some of the other Valhalla products if you want that kind of thing.

Why? Can't you adjust the delay, etc if you want a short one?

Yes. But it's just so "big". Not sure how to describe it to you.

Try it out for yourself! They have a demo available

My God the ambience in that reverb is incredible, but I understand why would only use it for that.

Personally I'm looking for something that would widen up and extend the mix if you understand what I mean.

That reverb is monstrously beautiful though.

I love using it for pluck & pads. It's stunning.

Look into ValhallaVintageVerb, ValhallaRoom, and ArtsAcoustic Reverb.

Those are all pretty good for what you're looking for.

I'm really affraid Shimmer might get really overused in near future. ...but it's just so cool. :D

BUT! ... my vote for best reverb plugins go to this little underrated fella: https://www.112db.com/redline/reverb/
Clean, spacious, gets out of the way of instrumens, reminds Lexicons. It's pimped version of Reaktor's SpaceMaster ensembles. (VST though, no Reaktor needed.) Unfortunatelly guy who wrote it passed away in a car crash. ...but it can't change a thing about this reverb being awesome. :)
