If you want a reverb that sounds expensive, audition PhoenixVerb.
Developed by the man behind many of Lexicon's classic algorithms.
IMO, It bests the Lexicon PCM bundle...

Cool, seems to sound quite good actually. Thanks for the tip!

I really dont like revebs that sounds like a buch of delays. That metallic sound.

I can also recommend 2C Audio reverbs..

Breeze
Aether
B2

They sound "alive" ...listen to the demo's...

and Valhalla Room - for $50, is a great reverb...

Ah, I looked at Aether and Breeze quite a while ago. Seems like they have had their price cut? I remember them as very expensive plugins. Will try the demo.

Are you guys using these? I wasnt 100% positive with the sound of Breverb.

FWIW, I spent a couple of days auditioning PhoenixVerb, B2, and Valhalla Vintage Verb... comparing to Breverb II, CSR, and several others.
I'd recommend auditioning with drum-kit... which is very telling.


PhoenixVerb was my favorite.
B2 was a close second.

To me, Breverb sounds "metalic"...that's just me...
it's a nice reverb...but it doesn't suit me...

I have CSR, Breeze, IR-L, Trueverb, Breverb, TSAR-1R, RennVerb, PerfectSpace, blah blah blah..

CSR is quite nice but requires a lot of tweaking to get where it should be...
Breeze has loads of presets that are nice right out of the gate and require minor tweaking..
IR-L, with the right IR is nice, but Convo's tend to be resource heavy, Breverb is too metallic for
my taste, TSAR-1R is nice - simple controls, RennVerb is ok, PS, for coming with Sonar is a decent Convo...

It all boils down to taste and what you're trying to accomplish.  I'm sure that IR-Live will yield
quite acceptable results...
Waves has an entire Library of IR's here..

The Plate 140 is nice...as is the LX-48L

But, as I said, a Convo Reverb can be quite CPU unfriendly...
since I don't see any specs for your system...just be advised...

WAVES Live convo is useable but geared more for FOH applications.
Any of the other reverb plugins already mentioned are good choices but for a neutral verb it's EA's PhoenixVerb hands down.

FWIW I know of Sean of Valhalla is extremely impressed with PhoenixVerb, I suspect he's working on his own version.

I have IRLive.
And yes it works well in X2.
It may be designed for FOH but definitely has a place in the studio.
WAYYYY better than Perfect Space.

+1 on that...


PS is ok...not the friendliest interface in the world....most first timers freak out when
when they can't figure out how to load the presets...LOL

I believe IR-Live is just a low latency version of IR-L with a more "friendly" interface...geared for live FOH applications
but also suitable for studio use...


I'd get it NOW if you're going to...it's $71.20 at Audio Deluxe right now..
