At this point I really like LiquidSonics "Cinematic Rooms Professional". On page 85 of this thread it may well be different?

 

LEXICON and Altiverb

 

T-Verb Premium by Terry West Productions.
A Triple Engine Stereo Reverb Unit.
And Lexicon.

 

Lol there was tons of good Reverbs
2C Audio Aether
Altiverb
Waves Trueverb
Lexicon PCM
Eventide Ultraverb
Relab LX-480
Overloud Breverb
And many many more.

Someone had to start it. we all love our reverbs

Not a fair comparison. But funny, I like it

You bet. It'll be LiquidSonics "Cinematic Rooms Professional 3 AI"

made my day, not the first time

Off topic out. Wait. no... peace out! Or both... or something...

 

Every time I see this thread, I have to mention Valhalla Vintage Verb. Great quality at incredibly low cpu usage.

 

For special and weird reverbs, my new go-to is Spectral Plugins Spacer. Really nice plugin

 

I've tried out a lot of plugins based on recommendations from this thread. Wasn't a huge fan of Lexicon's own plugins, but I really like Overloud's "BREVERB" a lot. Overloud's other plugins seem like pretty "alright" analog emulations with next to no CPU usage but BREVERB is a standout plugin for me.
Eventide is really nice too.
Relab's Reverb had ungodly artifacts that sounded like sample rate distortion or something. I dunno what that was about but I'm 99% sure it's not intentional
Thanks for the recommendations!

 

I have tried pretty much every reverb plugin on the market and most recently these are my favorites:

Convology XT w/ the free Past to Future impulses and some I've purchased from them, as well as the East/West Spaces impulses

Polyverse Comet (very cool algo reverb, just make sure you have a plugin blocking the midi data if you are using it as an insert on a track with a vsti or it will change the pitch of the verb with every note sent)

Audiothing Springs (most convincing spring emulation I've heard yet, and definitely reminds me of my old rackmount spring reverbs)

Arturia Intensity (probably my favorite algo reverb besides comet, especially after turning off the lo/hi pass filters which are on by default)

Black Rooster Spring Reverb (not as real sounding as the Audiothing one, but just more pleasant sounding sometimes, sounds great on synths)

I also have Hofa IQ reverb and usually try that out on stuff but it just isn't as vibey as any of the other ones..bit too clinical for me most of the time. The placement feature is pretty cool though, and sometimes I use it without reverb just for that.

Liquidsonics Seventh Heaven - I don't like how this softens the transients in a way of anything run through it, but sometimes it is just the thing. I used to really not like this one but then heard a mix someone did where they used it as their only reverb and it sounded so good it got me to start using it again.


I really want to try Fog Convolver 2 but have a long list of other stuff to get before that. (ok, I lied and I just got it for black friday...it's pretty good. definitely makes some of my other reverbs like the HOFA sound muddy in comparison...just does a better job of preserving transient detail in the 100% wet signal than the other convolution reverbs I have and not overwhelming the mix- then again clarity is not always what you want. overall definitely recommended.)

I wish "Wizooverb" was still around....That was my fav verb....

 

December 25.
Currently in the churches there are many singers.

​

 

Try Stripchat-some girls sing and a lot more....

 

Waves H reverb and exponential audio.

 

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here before but I really love the sound of Arturia's
Rev INTENSITY

You can try Spaces too by East West as well which has a variety of reverbs it focuses on convolution reverb but has a digital reverbs section you can try

Intensity is probably my favorite plugin reverb that's not convolution based. I usually turn off the pre and post filters for a more lush sound.

 

algorithmic: lexicon native, valhalla

convolution: Bricasti M7 IR's (free)

 

For electronica:
My main workhorse these days is Exponential Audio Symphony.
For an effect where I needed a buzzard to sound like it was flying over a mountain about a mile away, I used Physical Audio Dynamic Plate.

For rock, pop, reggae, etc:
Nugen Paragon ST

 

1- Exponential Audio - R2 / Straus or Symphony
2- Seven Heaven Pro
3- TC VSS4
4- Baby Audio Crystaline
5- Eventide Blackhole

 

Some new ones I've been liking are the Sinevibes ones (very digital plug-in sounding verb but in a way I like...definitely not lush like Intensity can be but still work great in the context of a mix). I'm still looking for that perfect convolution verb though..after spending some more time with Fog Convolver 2 I do like it but it's definitely not be go-to verb for everything as that is a very material based thing for me.
