Reverberate ver 2
Slowly recovering from the wasteland of no job and the mathematical impact on GAS syndrome. Have a few pennies now to guardedly get seduced by new stuff and upgrades. First purchase in a couple months, and went with an upgrade to Reverberate 2 from Liquidsonics. Whatever they claimed they did regarding stereo presentation is real. Big increment over ver 1, as good as version 1 was. Ambience, stereo depth is better than any unit out there, analog or digital. The guys did good. The workflow has been vastly improved as well. Way more easy to navigate through and dial into whatever you envision. Would recommend GAS or reverb diehards to download the 30 day demo. Think these guys have set a new bar for convolution devices. http://www.liquidsonics.com/software_reverberate.htm Merry Christmas to all. Heathen non Christian here by God's saving grace, but fully celebrate the intent of the season. Rock on. Love to all of you guys and girls, John

+1 V2 Reverberate is excellent. Especially for tight spaces for things like drums and acoustic guitars etc.. Make sure you download all those free IR's. They are massive files but well worth the effort in all the downloads. They have also done many spaces from the Bricasti M7 reverb and they sound rather excellent as well. http://www.liquidsonics.com/software_fir_archives.htm

Totally missed the extra IR downloads. Thanks

A lot of data there. Downloaded and installing the IR files. Over 9 GB. Wonder if I'll ever use a fraction of them. So far the quality is good.
If you got a 14.4 k phone modem, might have time for a cigarette before the dowmload is finished.

John what I did was start with Rooms and Plates because they were what I was interested in firstly. Then just download the others in time. Also there are 44.1K and 96K versions of the same IR's as well. Be careful of that. Obviously the 44.1K versions are smaller files (not by much)
They are well worth it. There are some lovely spaces in there for sure. Also these IR's contain the Fusion IR's as well which only work in V2.
It is very under rated reverb in my opinion and I find often the presets sound stellar just the way they are even before editing any parameters. Reverberate has some of the nicest small spaces that I have heard. For me many reverbs fall down doing nice tight rooms for drums etc.. But Reverberate seems to excel in that area.

Thanks Jeff,
Think I had too much ethanol to know what I was downloading, but got some sample rate of each library. Reverberate may well be the best of the convolution reverbs available at this point in time.
I was digging through old archives to test out a couple way off the wall impulses in Reverberate 2. One I mangled from some church and did a modulation/reconstruction on the IR itself. Another one I might have mentioned a long time ago on this forum. Forget who deserves credit for original. Was never meant to be an IR impulse, but was easy to create one. Claimed to be the longest reverb tail of any environment. Think they are mono, but worth firing up for the glory of the effect.
Will upload them somewhere and post the link.
John

Okay, if it works, here's a link. These are not your grandfather's IRs. Atypical and excessive, but I'm happy if someone finds them useful. The mega long IR also plays well if a shorter duration is dialed in. http://www.megafileupload.com/mwNM/IR.zip John (edit...) didn't realize what a pain in the chalumbas the megafile "service" was. First time I tried it since Swoopshare tanked. No free lunch as the sages have declared. Have to go thru the download free icon at least twice and get thru all the ads, but it does eventually work...Might have to click several times on the free button. Could be worth the effort if you are also missing pictures from a high school yearbook... The two IR's are cool however.

Update on "mangled2.wav", and found a better freebie download spot. http://www.filedropper.com/mangled2 File was originally from a web cathedral IR. Was pitch shifted down, stretched, and a flange lightly (or not lightly) applied. The file was mono, but was able to clone the wav and splice into a stereo track, shifting the time by maybe 20 milisec. Way better depth sensation now. The wave is several seconds, but try cutting it down to around a third of a second for a slap in the face with attitude. John

Nobody tried these yet?...
Receding to the bottom of the bird cage. Lost into antiquity and obscurity like everything else eventually...
Cool...

John I am keen to try them but I am away at the moment and not near my studio. Can you make sure you leave these links up for a little while eg till after Jan 3 and I will download and test as soon as I get home. Thanks.

Jeff,
Will definitely leave them up for download. The church warp was time extended by splicing sections of the wav at a negligible zero crossing places with minimum decay so that chugs and pops didn't happen. Results in a church way longer than a normal church could resonate.
The Scotland wave however is real and no effects applied. Can't remember who did the recording, but was from an underground oil tank used in WW II. Claimed to be the longest reverberation trail of any physical environment yet discovered. The decay was so long, I cut off about 30 seconds that has historic value, but way in excess of anything practical in music production.
Best,
John

Guys, Know you have been spending sleepless nights in savage anticipation for this… Wait no more!!! http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=07806947982152344495 World famous “mangled.wav” IR has been improved and ready to load into any stereo convolution reverb engine....if Tinyupload works... The original was awesome (as all will agree), but mono. Latest upgrade does an actual time stretch on one channel. This throws the light flange out of sync dynamically and provides a much better depth response than previously posted, which had a straight but non interesting several millisec delay between the channels. May anyone find this useful or at least unique. Sounds damn cool from here in Reverberate. John

So.... what does Reverberate 2 do that EW Spaces or Rematrix (full) doesn't do?

Good bloody question. Have to plead dirt ignorance about Rematrix or EW. Don't have either of them. Maybe nothing to be realized as far as an advantage with Reverberate as long as a stereo impulse can be loaded and some control over the mod, time stretch, normal ADSR envelopes. Independent loading of L/R IR routing which produces some desirable and unique effects. Very extensive eq control on Reverberate, about as good as Reaper's native eq.
Even Freeverb has a stereo engine for free. May work as well without the expense with a few less bells and whistles.
Just updated Reverberate since I had ver 1 and seemed like the right thing to do. Ver 2 definitely has some spatial improvements over whatever they explain about what's happening with their new stereo routing algos.
Excellent engine that will take a lot of time before it goes out of style.
Guess in my introspective journey as of late, if I had the same hard on creative insight I had when I was 16 years old... I would have died for a free reverb vst from 10 years ago and blown everything out of the water available today or tomorrow.
Not to be a downer, but suspect a lot of us like me are just accumulating debt and new plugs with nothing to show for it.
John
