What's your favourite delay / reverb FX?

What are you most often using with your Sonar projects for delay and reverb?
 
Sonitus delay?
 
Breverb? Perfect Space?
 
or 3rd party?
 
 
 
 
 
 

Delay: Sonitus
Reverb: CSR Hall/Plate/Room & BReverb

If I'm tracking a guitar part with delay, I'll use a hardware delay (Boss pedal) going in. If it's delay added to something later, the Sonitus one works fine.


Reverb - Sonitus to get a nice rough mix to track to, then Perfect Space with Bricasti impulses when I'm doing the final mix.

+1 as CSR has finally gone 64bit with the TRackS CS Grand update ...

Sonitus for delay which works just great. For reverb I really like Breverb, although I also use the Softube Mix Bundle's TSAR-1R reverb, and the Scarlett reverb that comes with the Focusrite Scarlett audio interface.

I've been using Valhallah VintageVerb for everything reverb since it came out! Super cool and flexible! For delay I use the Sonitus and sometimes the Space Echo from Guitar Rig.

I  bought Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Plugin (it's half price now!) and I think it's fab. It literally sounds good on anything ... now my 'go to' reverb.

I don't use reverbs very often but when  do I like extreme stuff so I use 2C Aether effects or maybe Laserbrew in Reaktor.

I got the RP-Verb and RP-Delay from Rob Papen and I find my self using them a lot! If you buy RP-Verb you get RP-Delay for free. These plugs can be used "normaly" or in some really extreme and creative ways.

I also use Sonitus and Timeless2 a lot for delays, as well as DubStation.

For reverb I love Altiverb but it has some issues with bit-bridging. I hope they release the Windows version of Altiverb 7 really soon!!! But I really like Sonitus Reverb as well. I use it all the time and find it perfect to put on single tracks or in FX Chains if neccesary because of it's relatively low CPU consumption.

I used to use pantheon, particularly when tracking, but have moved over to Breverb almost exclusively.  I sometimes use Perfect Space.
 
As for delays, I love the PsycheDelay in Guitar Rig 5.

'That sounds interesting! Being half price gets a big name reverb into an affordable price range.

I reckon this is a 64 bit plug-in, isn't it? I couldn't find the info on their website.

Can you get a demo version with those iLok plug-ins? The provided sound samples will always sound great, but I'd like to give it a try on my work before spending money.'

Hi, yes it is a 64 bit plug-in. I think when it was first released it was 32 bit? but don't quote me on that. You can download the demo, but need an iLok 2.
I've only had it a couple of weeks, but I'm really pleased with it. The reverb feels part of the sound, whereas I've sometimes struggled with the feeling that the sound (let's say vocal) was sitting on top of the reverb. It just seems to glue things together somehow.
There's no 'metallic' taste too, if you see what I mean.
Other reverb plug ins I've used are:
IK Multimedia CSR (excellent)
Audioease Altiverb (never felt at home with it but keep trying)
East West Quantum Leap spaces (can sound glorious on some things, but I find it quite limited on what I can use it on)
Redline Reverb (very useable)

I'm a big fan of NI's Traktor delay and also their Psychedelay. Fantastic stuff especially for EDM. 

I hate to sound like a broken record (what's that?), but the FX-Reverb & FX-Delay DX plugs have always sounded the cleanest to me.

Since getting UAD cards, the EMT-640, Dreamverb (very crashy), and RealVerb all sound pretty good and are my main go-to verbs, but I still find myself going to the DSP-FX stuff for certain things like lead guitars and vocals.   I haven't really found a delay that I like on UAD platform.  The next best delay after the DSP-FX, IMHO, is the Sonitus Delay.

On a side note, I received an email from the DSP-FX folks and they unfortunately won't be coming out with any updated versions of their plugs.  Shame cause they sound damn good.

Best,

"when Pantheon came along with Sonar"

Fot those who have the install DVDs of Sonar 8.5 (or 8, i guess), it is possible to run a custom install, and install only the Pantheon, so you get it under X2 (i think it is a 32 bits plugs.

If you don't mind iLok2 the most neutral reverb imo is the new EA PhoenixVerb.
The only reverb I find I turn up rather than down & don't have eq as much. There's a problem with x64 & gui issues so if you check it out be aware. Should be fixed soon.

Valhalla, 2C's Aether B2, Lexicon & others mentioned all good choices.
