@Stevie Dude: send you pm via audiowarez, but it does not come through. How to do?

 

I've just checked, it's there and I've checked the content. I have all of them already. Someone sent me them earlier. Thanks anyway.

 

Ah, okay. It is just that I send a message and it was not in my outbox. Strange.
Anyway, sorry you already had them.

 

7th Heaven has been cracked btw, and sounds quite good imo. Ive never used a hardware m7, but static IRs would be quite useless for a reverb known for its complex modulation

When 7th heaven was cracked ppl complained that the modulation was off compared to the legit version, i never compared the two but thought it was fine, not the most stunning reverb ive ever heard or anything

 

Impulse response.

 

It is not a bias, but the privilege of being able to make a direct comparison. I said that the M7 IRs do not reproduce the sound or "sonic response" of the hardware. That has nothing to do with liking or disliking. Except for the "Ambiences" it is not a small detail, they sound really different. It's a night and day difference, no matter what IR loader or channel configuration is used. Especially when changes are made to the preset sample. My conclusion is that a good algorithmic reverb like the Lexicon bundle has the better cost-benefit ratio. Unless the sound of those M7 IRs is exactly what the OP wants and it's really about tiny details like the method and quality of splitting and merging the sample bins in fft processing to get the best out of each of the preset samples. In this case: Altiverb

@Stevie Dude You da man

 

Any more opinions on the aforementioned "Best Service Halls of Fame 3" offering? Never tried it myself, so a 7GB package is incoming...

 

Wow thx!

 

Thanks 2 everyone that added to this thread, helps alot! Especially the guys witht the bricasti on their desk!

I just have one more question that just know popped up, is the difference between hardware verb and plugin verbs really that big? I hate the idea of getting a unit, that takes up space, that takes up routing.. just for verbs. but if it means it will sound better than digital verbs then..

 

Hall of Fame doesn't have most of the BM7 best presets, atleast one that I really like. No Sunset Chamber, Mechanic Hall, A&M Chamber, London Plate (there is a British Plate though), Marble Foyer, Tiled Room etc. It doesn't sound bad, but I don't use the BM7 on it, just EMT250 and Lex300. The EMT250 particularly the 4 sec reverb sounds really good to me.

Hall of Fame's BM7 vs Seventh heaven's BM7?

They both have the same pricing (non pro version)

 

Very interesting thread, thank you for the impressions.
There is also IRs from Past to Future and Xtreme Samples.

Latter I can only find on a German third party site for some reason. Anyone have one of those and can chime in about how they compare to the rest?

It really sucks that the R2R version of Seventh Heaven is not properly cracked. It's been years and there has been no update on this.

 

One of the most amazing algorithmic recreations of the Bricasti typology (feedforward reverb) is a very underrated and tiny Airwindows plugin called Verbity. There are two versions:

https://www.airwindows.com/verbity2/

 

Wow thanks! i use airwindows daily, didnt know he made a bm7 style verb

 

wait, he already made one ? I wasnt really following him lately but I know Chris was getting a BM7 and already got one. He said it's gonna take time before he fully study the unit and make BM7 style reverb plugin. Didn't know if he already released one. I know he studied the Waves Abbey Road reverb plugins and managed to come up with one that actually sound better earlier this year.

 

Nice one @Hazen 600kb vs 7gb reverb, uh yeah if that sounds as good or better heellll yes!!

 

Have you tried the Savant Audio Labs Quantum Evolution (that name is really a mouthfull) M7 emulation? There was a bit of buzz about it on GS when it was first released, but I'm pretty sure that most of the people who praised it has never worked with a real M7. I didn't find it to be that remarkable, but I haven't worked with a real M7 either so. Would be interesting to hear your opinion about it!

 

Might be that its not the full Bricasti emulation you are referring to, but the introductory textof Verbity suggests its highly inspired by it.

 

As mentioned it's not really a M7 emulation, but a "Bricasti Style" or Feedfoward style verb. It sounds dope, and i already mentioned here on the forum that i use those. I'm holding my breath to the Airwindows M7 emu, because like you said, the plates are better than waves take on the same style.
