So not directly Sonar related but man does BREVERB 2 rule

I never really thought I'd get big on a algorithmic reverb given that we have convolution verbs now. I mean it is real reverb, how can you be better than real? All the convolution verbs, even cheap ones, did a better job than algo verbs. However not Breverb. It just sounds amazingly good. Particularly on drums I just love the thing I am amazed how good it sounds. It has really become what I prefer.
 
If they ever do another upgrade deal to the full version, you should really take a look at getting the full deal. The "spaces" mode it has is just amazing.

Same here, I really like it. Works well on vox for me too.

Yeah, I gotta admit, I'm liking what I'm hearing with Breverb also. Before I upgraded to X3, I was using X1e, and my go to verb was Softube TSAR-1R from the Mix Bundle Pro Channel Edition. I'm thinking I'm gonna have a hard time choosing between the two from now on! :)

I like it a lot.  Quite a few people here are "down on it", but I have always found I useful.  I love being able to have it in ProChannel as well, and find it quite light on resources, so it's good for tracking too..
 

+1 I like it a lot - and agree with you JB that it's nice to have it available in ProChannel.

The only problem with the Prochannel module is it only works on the included version, not the full one. The part of Breverb that really impresses me is the stuff you get when you upgrade. The "Spaces Large" setting is where I find the stuff I really like. I suppose no surprise the best stuff you have to buy the upgrade for :D. If they ever bring back an upgrade deal, give it real thought. I'm glad I got the full version, even though you have to use it as VST.

Breverb has been outstanding for the vocals on my stuff. Love it.

I guess the full version must be way better than the lite version that is bundled with Sonar then, because when I've tried to find a useable verb for vocals it just sounds disgusting.  Keep going back to Sonitus verb for quick results, or a convolution verb for better results.

I never upgraded Breverb, but very much like its performance. But I also like throwing it into the ProChannel so did not realize Sycraft's point. I may not have the best workflow, since most plugins I pop open only when tweaking them, and then close them to save real-estate, but in ProChannel I can monitor better.

When you say "find a usable verb", do you mean looking through the presets? Because in that case, I'd agree, the presets are as bad as presets generally are. But if you set it flat and work from there, it's really fairly amazing.
 

I will have to take a fresh look.  I've probably tried the presets to see if anything took my fancy and been so turned off that I wrote it off.  It never ceases to amaze me how bad presets end up representing products so poorly.

I really like it, yeah. There's a view that says convulsion reverbs replace these kind of digital reverbs. Me, I don't think anything ever replaces anything. I think the palette just gets broader. I wouldn't want to be without either type. Breverb doesn't sound "real" like convolution verbs do, but real isn't always what you're looking for.

I feel that convolution has fallen out of fashion these days. Algortimic verbs that emulate or build on old digital machines (like Breverb, Relab, Valhalla Vintage Verb etc.) are all the rage. I'm happy with the algorithmic rennaisance as I never really got on with convolution!

 Like a lot of people I was blown away by convolution reverb at first.  I have since returned to the likes of Breverd, but still use convolution reverb when I want the sound of an instrument in a real space.
 
More often now, though, I find that an algorithmic reverb will sit better in the mix.

Last night I received and installed XLN's Addictive Keys. There's another thread about that. The piano is great and has plenty of settings I have yet to learn about. But just playing the straight keys and adding Breverb (the full version) it was really nice to go through different piano reverb presets Breverb has. The two packages together just at their basic settings sound super nice.

Been a convolution fan since the old Sonic Foundry Acoustic Mirror days. But I find that I'm liking the TSAR-1R and the Breverb a lot, and they don't hog the resources like the convos.

I did a side by side comparison with the TSAR-1R vrs the BREVERB 2 and with my ears the BREVERB 2 sounded better on identical piano tracks and pretty close hall settings. I don't know how to describe it, it was just a nicer sound.

Ya I'll be going to BREVERB 2 a lot now. After I heard it on the Addictive Drums Start Up Demo, I was sold on it.

The BREVERB 2 sounds great on my piano sounds !!
