49.99 until 9/5. Seems like a good deal. I haven't tried CSR. Is this a good reverb?

YES. I love it. A lot. Especially the plate. I like plates. Its how I serve up my vocals. Mmmmm. Plated vocals.

It is a pretty good reverb - actually 4 reverbs. 

I'd have one minor reserve, and that is, if you don't already own Valhalla DSP's Valhalla Room, I'd get that one first. Then if you still want another reverb, CSR can be cool.

Incredible reverb, same price, 10% of proceeds to the American Red Cross International Disaster Relief Fund, constant free revisions/updates which aren't just bug fixes but brand new reverb algorithms, already 64 Bit (unlike CSR) and easier to tweak IMHO because of the no-non-sense GUI.


 

What Rain said:  +10

In response to Rain: I just bought VRoom a while ago, and Ubermod before that. 

Vahalla room is always on sale for 50 dollars and is quite easily one of the best of its class. It certainly is a wonderful effect, and quite capable. http://www.valhalladsp.com/

"ValhallaRoom is a versatile, true stereo algorithmic reverb. It features several original reverberation algorithms and has been designed from the ground up to produce a wide range of natural reverberation sounds: small ambiences, warm rooms, halls, plates, cathedrals, and into the void.  Updated to Version 1.1.0, with a new Dark Reverb mode (LV-426), and full 32/64 bit support for VSTs (Win/OSX) and Audio Units (OSX).

$50 US for OSX (32/64-bit VST, 32/64 bit Audio Units, RTAS) and Windows (RTAS, 32/64-bit VST)"

Needs to be tweaked but don't they all. Sounds like many more expensive ones and it's a steal at that price. Works on everything.

Valhalla is the $50 king at the moment. Buy both and you're sorted.

x64 please... for someone with a 64 bit machine, this is kinda like dangling an old, brown carrot. I'll pass.

  I have a 64 bit computer and so maybe I'll hold off on that CSR for the time being. It looks to be a nice one though. I wasn't aware of that plug-in being only 32 bit. 

  Thanks guys for pointing me toward the Valhalla Plug in. I went to the website and really like the guys modus operandi. I plan to download the demo this weekend. In reading the descriptions it seems that a lot of what the plug-in does is probably too much verb for my use, but it's the room and smaller space settings I'm after.Verbs to add to vocal and guitar without overdoing it. I could be totally wrong here having not tried it as of yet.

 The same could be said of most any reverb  if mixed wet and long I would guess.They all have extremes no doubt. If I ever need to mix ancient Chinese gongs in an alternate universe the long verbs could come in handy.

CSR is a fine reverb, sounds great, and truly a bargain for fifty bucks. But AFAIK it hasn't been updated in a decade, just continually reduced in price. 

I call this the "Valhalla Effect": when a top-tier competitor comes along that's priced much lower than yours, you have no choice but to bring your own price down. You can only pretend that your more-expensive product is superior for so long, before word gets around that it ain't so. All it takes is one high-quality low-priced product to redefine the entire market and reset consumer expectations. I imagine Sean's not very popular in reverb-vendor circles.

I hope you'll enjoy it and that it works for you. For me, it's a charm to program. If you're not sure what a parameter does, just place your mouse cursor over it and you'll get a clear description, at the bottom of the GUI. For example, for this screen capture, my cursor was over the Early Size knob.



That being said, more and more, I find myself using a bit of delay instead of reverb for stuff like guitars and vocals, depending on the song, of course. But for me if often works better.
