Morphverb was an immense letdown for me, everything I ran through it became incredibly fake.

Come to think of it, the other United Plugins reverbs didn't work for me either, Hyperspace and Verbum Entropic Hall especially.

United Plugins is shady anyways.

 

I get that, for certain. Almost all of their plugins and website look to me like someone's major in school was marketing, not audio. The whole $200 plugin that is 87% off but always on sale kind of a thing. But I make two types of stuff if summarized. Traditional real instruments, with human musicians, the physics on planet earth; and electronic music where most of that goes out the window. Instead of the Steve Miller Band, I am looking for the Star Wars Cantina Band. Any attempt at Realism is a moot point. Disco vs Techno.

 

I feel like United Plugins is Melda's attempt at copying Plugin Alliance lol, the marketing feels very Meldaesque (his plugins are great but goddamn he's so shameless when it comes to their promotion) and the non-Melda plugins are probably just some throwaway Melda code with a "hip" UI.

 

Gah. Now i have to try that out.

The plugin toybox is never ending

Thanks for the head up though

 

altiverb 7 is also good

many years ago 2c aether i used some. 2CAudio - Aether | Power. Precision. Versatility.

 

Spring by Eventide Audio

 

Feel this is relevant.

 

Lexicon PCM Native is the LAST REVERB YOU NEED. The rest is just a game without meaning.

 

Benn has some nice recommendations (I've fallen in love with that Vast at first glance and the Beam doesn't seem to have THAT annoying shimmer-verb sound), but for me the best discovery of the video is: I didn't realize that the immersive version of the Blackhole featured a new algorithm, and oh does it sound different. I've spent the last hour or so just playing some piano and listening to those reverb tails, and it's AMAZING. It's an unveliebably clean sound, and it blends with the instrument in a seamless way that may be similar to the Bricasti M7 or some Strymon pedals.

 

ApVerb (https://www.apulsoft.ch/apverb/) definitely became a recent favorite of mine. It's perfect for "weird" and "experimental" types of reverb. Posted an example, bypassed and active:

 

Nhaa.. It's just a matter of how your brain works, more or less by the colours it is impressed by.

 

mTurboReverb and Strymon Big Sky for the unique comb filtering.

Not much tops these two tbh.

 

been re-discovering Tal reverb 2. awesome freebie

 

valhalla vintage verb. valhalla room.. valhalla plate..
and open air convolution effect in studio one with custom IR convolution reverbs

 

for making bass bigger and even slightly pushing grid out i rather reach for ableton reverb than lexicon.
imo lexicon is for classic genres and such
and it isnt used for the heavy ambient stuff as well i think .

def the just one reverb you can pick winner

but there a lot of stuff out now i loosed track about ,would love to know the differences and uniqness of them....

 

like granular synthesis. apulsoft have neat takes on envelopes and modulation. their stuff just sounds different

 

It's funny how this topic can go back to 2013 and we still don't know which is the best choice.

I started using Lexicon's PCM Native reverb bundle way back and since then heard about Artsacoustic, ValhallaDSP and so on. Regardless of how many algorithmic choices we have today, I still wander through different rvb plugins and find some better for this and that than the other.

Anything by ValhallaDSP ends up being the first thing I pull in and decide from there but I don't really know what else to go with. Guess it's a comfort-zone thing.

 

...I used to think they where good aswell, years later with a more trained ear, they sound very hollow or thin, very digital "plugin" sound.

 

Bettermaker_BM60!!! ....get with the program guys, a few game changers have been released this past few years. Or TAILS from UnfilteredAudio, and the recent release Raum(something) from Tegeler. All those free reverbs etc, have fun...

 

It's okay. But 14 days with results that didn't do it for me made it useless compared to what arsenal I had already.
