Reverb - What do you use?

Have been looking at the demo for Reason 4 and am most impressed with the RV7000 reverb and in particular its sound, it really rocks.

What do you guys use and what could you recommend that compares with the RV7000?

Cheers


PC :P

I like the RV7000.

Someone put up a link to the "Fusion Field" reverb a while ago: http://www.quikquak.com/Prod_Fusion_Field.html

I tried the demo and it sounded really nice to me.

Tone2 WarmVerb (my fav)

Waves RenVerb & TrueVerb

Sonitus Reverb

PerfectSpace Convolution

Lexicon Pantheon


Of course, unfortunately, none of these work for you in Reason.

i use:

Ik multimedia CSR (I love this on percussion or anyhting needing very small amounts of space)

UAD Plate 140 (Stunning on vocals, guitars, synths)

Powercore VSS3 (My favorite. Beautiful early reflection algorithms, very versitle and "real" sounding.

Altiverb (Use it for anything that needs to be put in a live space)

I havn't used reason properly in years. However i have played with its reverb on a friends computer a few times when having a jamming session. My thoughts are that it sounds good, but the ones above, espcially the plate 140 and VSS3 sound a lot better.

!

For vocals UAD Plate 140 is definitely amazing!

Other than that Wizoo W2, Altiverb & CSR are all fantastic as well.

TC FX II(mackie d8b plugin)
UAD plate

sold 2 Lexicons, shame

UAD Plate 140
Acoustic Arts
SIR 2

i produce in reason so rv7000 is the obvious choise.

Slightly off topic but the UAD card plugs are that good? Now that the UAD2 is out probably be a good time to grab one as the price has dropped? Or would you save and spend a little more and get a UAD2?

+1, Altiverb is amazing (used loads at work), but seriously, you paid $550 for a reverb? Dang.....

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Waves reverbs really cold sounding. No matter what I do, I can never get a warm sounding reverb from them?

What is a "warm" sound anyway? People throw around that term a lot without ever defining it.

Difficult to explain. A lot of reverbs can provide the room ambiance (tail length, size, density etc.) but a lot of them actually just sound like the result of the sound source being in a metal box. If you go to a really old church (I mean like 15th century etc.), made from stone, wood, plaster combined with very soft fabrics, there is a natural reverb that doesn't sound harsh, it has breath to the tail and the hi's aren't over exaggerated. In fact thinking about it now a lot of reverbs just make make the hi's sound so harsh, I suppose that would be a factor in the warmth of a reverb.

For a warm reverb I want to be able to hear some of that mid and upper mid have a slight nice sounding coloration.

Anyway, it's all subjective and what I find warm might just be distortion to you?

Built-in plugin reverbs, Art Acoustics and Logic 8 ones (Space Designer, A, En Gold, Platinum, Silver), Camel Space...

reason's RV7000 is all I need

As far as vst's go, sonicflavours has to my taste the best reverb out there.

Logic's Space Designer, also Reverence from Audio Damage.

FL Studio's reverb.

I'll be selling 2 of my UAD1 cards in the new year when all of my plugins have been ported over to UAD2

Quad mmmmmmm


And yes, they are that good

UAD1 and 2 use the same technology and run the same plugs but UAD2 has more processing power on it(multiple chips as opposed to just 1 chip). Highly recommend, amazing stuff!

Nice one for all the replies. What would you say is the "warmest" reverb that you use then?

PC

I like to take the standard Fl studio reverb and put a distortion on it, just it not the original sound.

Distortion on reverbs? what??

Have you heard any of the new reverbs on the UAD2 platform? I was never all that impressed with the majority of the UAD1 reverbs, save the Plate 140, so I'm curious to see if it sounds any better.

Yep. It's an ugly ringing sound, that so many software reverbs have.

My choice is IK Multimedia CSR.

Massive's built-in reverb and CSR.
