    I haven't messed with them a ton. I like convolution reverb more than algo reverb because I tend to like the sound where it is like everything is being played in the same concert hall.
     
    However they seem competent.

    I don't have the NI ones, but I can say the UAD 224 absolutely rules on certain things like synth pads - it does this thing where it's not just like running through a verb, and nothing else I've heard does it. It can take a boring pad and make it sound glorious and like it's part of the pad vs. sounding like a pad through a reverb. 
     
    I'd be curious if the NI version can do this, and that's the first thing I'd try it out on.

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    I think these NI verbs are better than average -- they have that Lex flavor, and sound good with a lot of sources (I like the 24 on some drums, for example), but compared with top-of-the-line products like PCM or the UAD reverbs they don't quite measure up IMHO.  Worth investigating, though.

    Well Lexi's (which I don't have) are probably the best (based on some HW MXP1 that I had) but the RC24/48 have become my go to reverbs. As I recall the reviewer in SOS called them "Classy". I'd agree with that.

    FWIW (not much), a blind test on Gearslutz showed most people favoring Valhalla Vintage Verb over Lexicon PCM and UAD 224 and a few others.

    I do have the NI offerings by the way but they were part of a bundle and I haven't really dug in there much. I get along with BReverb quite well most of the time.
