We even have people who are scared of AI. They apparently do not know what Anecdotal Fallacy is. I had to look up the term for it even ;)
But here is the working example.

User #1: You cannot have a favorite reverb, because you need more than 1. Obviously this thread is worthless.
User #2: Sure you can have a favorite reverb. The one you always go back to after trying others. ie: Valhalla
User #1: You cannot make full good songs with only 1 reverb.
User #2: Sure you can. In fact, here is a list of nearly 100 of them. Want more examples?
User #1: But you cannot trust those AI results. It is making stuff up. Trust me, because I have no proof either. One of those is wrong.
User #2: What about the other 99 out of 100? You do know it gets these results by reading this information from websites? The same ones you read and think you know better?
User #1: But it's AI! It's going to steal all our jobs! Big scary Terminators. Haven't you seen The Matrix?
User #2:

1. Ableton's Convolution Reverb Pro (yes I discovered the beauty of Impulse Responses)
2. Pulsar Audio Primavera (just Spring Reverb)
3. my Roland AIRA Compact S-1's mono reverb
4. Altiverb v7 XL
5. Valhalla Shimmer & Valhalla Room

 

Slightly off topic but since we're bringing it up, another important part of the When the Levee Breaks drum sound is an Echorec that he's playing in time with. It's not just the reverb...

 

Binson Echorec for the drums and Echoplex for guitars is the delay combo for Led Zeppelin. But the rooms were a part of the sound the i always loved on their records and no unit could replicate the sound of those rooms for my taste, until Chameleon. I'm not talking about the whole sound, but their room recording always sounded superb, it's actually so good that sounds like an instrument on its own. EMT 140 sounds like a lot of records, just like Fender springs, but no records have the acoustic enviroment that Led Zeppelin had on their sound

 

FabFilter Pro-R works for me

 

altiverb 7 xl with custom IRs

 

I love Valhalla. Is it because I have golden ears and after having tested 200+ plugins have found it to sound better? No, it's because it's a joy to use and automate. Heck, I'm actually positive the Kush Goldplate sounds better than Valhalla Plate, but I just chose the lesser-sounding plugin for its versatility!

 

I like the IK sunset sound and Fame reverbs, if I want to have reverbs modelled on something specific, they have a nice character and good selection of rooms, plate, chamber etc..

If I just wanted a good solid selection of reverbs where you can't really go wrong, I'd probably just use Valhalla plugins and call it a day.

 

when i started i used fruity reverb 2
