What does the perfect room sound like? Denise asked the same question and, to answer it, saw fit to develop its own reverb technology. Its intuitive controls allow users to quickly tailor the colour, harmonics and tune of their signal, as well as reverse it, and split it to create a stereo reverb from a mono source.
It includes all the quintessential algorithms heard across countless records, along with additional delay, chorus and other effects, plus two banks of random effects that add small modulations to create even lusher reverb sounds. Dial in a longer reverb tail and you get that distinctive Lexicon shimmer that will fill out the soundstage of your mix so well, while shorter settings never seem to smear or obstruct the dry sound like some other reverbs can. Although it began life as a hardware algorithm, the plug-in version of the Blackhole reverb was released in and recently updated with additional features.
Famed for its ability to create abstract spatial effects and drones, it became a go-to weapon for wielders of ambient sounds and textures. There are also a bunch of artist presets that demonstrate its broad capabilities, making this a superb choice for sound designers. As such, it really does have a sound all of its own: from multi-layered shimmers across conventional instruments and vocals to massive atmospheric drones, depending on the source material.

Excellent blog and great style and design. It is almost unbeliveable that there is no even mentioned the most natural sounding reverb software 2CAudio Aether.
Currently, it has over IR files for free download. This might also mean that the IR files might not be the best quality. You have forgot the best plugin,its the Realverb 5. Pingback: Audio Processing Pearltrees. One of my all time favorites which I think has been discontinued for years is Sonic Timeworks Reverb. It sound so smooth on vocals and individual tracks. I know it was a favourite for quite a few people. What do you use now instead?
I always held Epicverb and Ambience to be the top free reverbs too, but lately Freeverb3 has dethroned them in my opinion. Very nice and useful article. Thank you very much! And just to let you know, Minimal System Instruments are about to release a great looking plugin: Dreamscape — Reverb and space generator. I hope it will sound as good as it looks.
Valhala became one of the my favorites. I need to test Waves Renaiscensse a bit more. And D16 plugins are in a promo on jrrshop. Man, how many things for a comment :. Thanks for the support! Have you heard it at all? Lots of us have chosen this plug over the Lexicon PCM system.
I have a LOT of the reverbs that are on your list above and only the Lexicon gives this one a run for its money in sheer quality and detail. You missed Aether reverb tho… it could have its own categroy i think, the most Metaphysical! Thanks Nemesis — you can actually see Aether in a recent update I did of this list, here.
Thank you for a great article and giving some great insights to a new producer. I would be interested in your opinion on the ReLab that Neil Wright mentioned as it is a lot cheaper than the Lexicon. All the best Tim. But definitely worth a mention, thanks! Pingback: Experimental Media. So if you turn to have it forget about looking somewhere else, use it and listen.
RC24 and RC Two great re-imaginings of popular Lexicon and L Hall units. Really liking those! Hi there. They have the reverb plugin Reverb. They are some of the smoothest reverbs I have used. I use Reverb. Great forum, thanks a lot for the info. Have you tried that one? Just to say thanks! Perfect categories, fun to read and exactly the summary I was looking for.
Please write more like this! So many good free algorithmic reverbs these days, I particularly like JB OmniVerb — just sounds good without much tweaking. Love seeing two of my three favorite free VST reverbs make it to your list. Glad you appreciate the list, and thanks for adding another favourite to the discussion! Its a beast.. A lot of great free of charge algorithmic reverbs nowadays, We especially such as JB OmniVerb — simply seems great without having a lot tweaking.
The guy who wrote this article is not serious…. Everybody know Nebula reverb are the ultimate itb reverb weapon… There is fucking good program very close to hardware. The Waves IR1 is a pretty good convolution but you really have to take some time to get to know all the emulations to know exactly what you want. Plus it takes a few seconds to load each impulse. I would like to hear your opinion about what reverb is the best for church choirs?
The people of Overloud have SpringAge lovely spring and Breverb useful multi … Check to the addition of the list if you like it.
My favourite reverb is Altiverb. Flowingly, it saddens me to see Waves making the top 10 really, think about that for a while — top 10 in the world!
Anyway, I doubt that anyone will ever read this post, but if you do, take my advice and do as I do: bounce dry from Pro Tools, import into Logic and add the reverb, then bounce again and import into Pro Tools. I hate extra work, so this procedure says a lot about how much I like Space Designer. As with all reverbs, far from all settings are convincing, but the few that make the grade are totally incomparable to other reverb plugins, trust me.
I have almost every reverb under the sun. I work for Manny Marroquin. Then Mariah Carey came in for a session in We spent three days trying to recreate that famous 90s vocal sound, but we wanted something slightly less muddy.
Almost all of the vocals contained three reverb sends with a small room first, a short plate second, and a longer hall third and one or two for delays, using either Echoboy or PSP Thanks for the great insights Chris, and for listing the specific tracks for reference. We mentioned PhoenixVerb under point 5, perhaps we should add it to point 6 as well i.
Im the only guy to think Space with many IR package on website is on the top or my hear have some problem? AtomicReverb is my favourite. This has a fantastic wide range of usage! I agree with the previous post… Quantum Leap Spaces is my go to 1 reverb. I have a ton of reverb plugins and a really nice hardware unit but after getting Spaces they mostly sit unused.
I recently discovered that Melda Productions has made a long journey since I lost track of them, after downloading his freebies many years ago. These are more than worth checking out! I like 2cAudio B2 for epic, but hardly ever use it. No Exponential Audio verbs? Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Sign up to our newsletter!
