How would you go about describing the muddiness and unbalance of the reverb?
Are you trying to hear just the clarity or something else?
These terms can mean different things to different people. If we can describe it accurately
and objectively it will not only help ourselves, but also other people

 

I think maybe he's referring to a build up of frequencies in the 200-400hz range where it causes the most mud if you have too many overlapping frequencies as you move down in the frequency range.

 

there are so many to choose from and almost all are very good, so the best is to try a few and choose for yourself

 

Nothing fancy here. My go-to reverbs are Valhalla Room and Plate. I also use LexHall and 2C Aether, which is a beast if you know how to set it up.
If I want thickness, usually on drums, I throw a VNXT EMT140 in Nebula3 on a send channel.

When recording analogue synths, I usually put in the chain some light reverb from a BossRV-6. Great, cheap pedal for those who want to get out of the box.

 

Depending on the material I either grab FabFilter Pro-R, ValhallaVintageVerb or ValhallaPlate most of the time.

 

That is why the algorithm should have a sharp dip in frequency response in the middle there.
Kind of like a hole. Kind of like .. in a donut or something.

 

What do you think about Seventh Heaven?

 

What I do every so often when I have a nice working system with lots of nice working plugs is to make a bootable clone of that system, so there is no "hope" involved in the future!

 

UAD Capitol Chambers is phenomenal for vocals and sound design

 

Oh! So there IS a Capitol Chambers plug!
That's cool. When the Al Schmitt plugin came out I had wondered if there was already the echo chambers in a digital format.
I really need to hear it now!

 

I know and I agree.
But I'm old school and resent having to buy new hardware, because I'm mostly macOS.

So purely regarding the subject matter of reverbs, I do actually have one main up to date system with still some unpaid-for stuff including Softube reverbs. Love 'em.
And Altiverb is on an older system, due to the dylib/openssh method, so I might sometimes jump into that one. Don't really like conv reverbs, apart from a certain one that recently came out.
And some of my Lexicon reverbs are on the older system! Some on my present system too.
One or two of the Valhallas are a no-brainer for certain lofi kinds of vibes.
(Lol. And Soothe is on a totally different architecture!)

For music with traditional 5 piece arrangements, it's not very sound-designey, so reverbs are often a subtle thing which I eq and compress TF to have control over.
Which is what I did with the stock Logic plugins for like 20 years or so.
So in that sense, even SilverVerb and Platinum Verb were useful and still are!
A short, almost slap back delay can also give a sense of ambience instead of a verb.
And mixing a delay with reverb is good on vox.

Can I get an Amen for all stock reverb plugins?!

 

Not good enough for AS community. Thanks for the feedback.

 

The thread topic is 'Favorite reverb plugins". It is a question to be answered.
You are asking a question.
You could be answering with what your fave reverb plugin is.

 

I could just have a little more improvisation on the question. Silly me.

 

Hello, I need a good spring reverb. What's your favourite spring? Don't know if I should make a new thread, maybe it's enough to just ask here...

btw my new favourite reverb is cinematic rooms from liquidsonics at the moment.

 

Can you send me a link for this reverb? (not the crack, the homepage of it) I couldnt find this "Nebula" yet, or at least I dont think taht it is what I found

Transatlantic Plate Reverb.

 

I think he means a reverb from the Nebula plugin from Acustica Audio... There exist's a reverb from Soundspot called Nebula, too, but I'm 99,5% sure that he means Acustica Audio. https://www.acustica-audio.com/store/t/nebula
