Very cool and perfect timing!
I need a spacious reverb and I was looking at both the Valhalla 'Rooms' and 'Plates'. Any more detail you could add to the Valhalla stuff? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Hi Mertay! This post is so valuable mate! Thanks for all this info.
Valhala is definitely in my list of favorites. Have you ever tried Neural Dsp Archetype Plini's reverb (and delay)? -------------------- My lessons

Just a note in case anyone interested, I didn't test and don't use Convolution (ir) reverbs and here's why;
To quickly sum-up, convolution reverbs are real spaces (church, concert hall etc.) measured by sending a sound o a room and recording it. We use the same tech. with capturing guitar cab. only focus difference is with guitar cab.s we keep the reverb part of it (room reflections) extremely short to get the most out of the cab.s character. A major downside of convo reverb's are, you can't freely tweak adjustments like you can do with algo reverbs. Every tweak you can make "fakens" the reverb more and more so the best practice is working on a preset-to-preset basis as much as possible. I had bad experience with this when I was learning this stuff years ago, with individual instruments you can't really catch that quality degradation quickly but as your song start to finish, the mix tends to end-up overall boxy in a bad way if you tweak settings too much. This is why Convo reverb products take a lot of space on your drive. Now the tech. has improved quite a bit since my experience on the tweaking vs fakeness part but this didn't change the fact that they still take a lot of space. Still, if you are ok with the idea of sticking strictly to presets with minimal adjustments (film score guys are more into this than others groups in music) here are your options from what I know; https://www.audioease.com/altiverb/ One of the oldest, sort of a "standard" solution for ir reverb enthusiasts. Very expensive, their reverb engine didn't improve too much over the years but their collection is amazing. This reverb is featured on the Spitfire video I shared. https://www.liquidsonics.com The popular choice for today, these guys invested a lot of time on their engine and can be considered the most tweakable ir reverb solution in the market right now. They focus mostly on high-end reverb devices. They have reasonable priced options, seventh heaven (bricasti) and reverberate 3 are most popular. https://impulserecord.com/convology-xt/ these guys offer freeware which seems to be gaining popularity. It's not limited to reverbs but has delays etc. too and you can buy libraries individually. Often recommended to beginners. This post has been edited by Mertay: Nov 5 2020, 09:58 PM |
