Members Folder Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 My main go to reverb is Overloud's Breverb. It's a little bright but pretty versatile. I wouldn't say it sounds very realistic but I can usually make it sit in a mix well.I also use the IK Multimedia Classik Reverb. I think it sounds a little thicker and darker than the Breverb and I use it when I don't want the reverb to be too noticeable.I also sometimes use the Perfect Space that came with Sonar and occasionally use the stock FX Sonar reverb.A lot of people say they like the Sonnox Oxford Reverb but I've never used it. I use the Sonnox Oxford eq on just about everything that I record because it's the most transparent and accurate eq I have so maybe I should try their reverb.My favorite hardware reverb that I have is the Alesis Wedge. It's kind of thick and dark but I don't use it much anymore since I started using VSTs.I'm somewhat impatient so I try not to spend too much time trying out different reverb programs and patches. You can waste a lot of time auditioning everything you have only to come to realise that your first or second choice was probably the best. I'm also not big tweaker. I usually go through patches until I like something and will adjust the decay a little and cut some of the low frequencies with a high pass filter.

Members jnorman Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 i have found that adjusting high/low damping can be more effective than trying to EQ reverb returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Massenburg as in George Massenburg? I like the Oxford because to my ears it is pretty transparent and acurate. When I want to add a little color I will sometimes use the T-Racks stuff. The one that looks like a beat up old vintage unit has a really smooth high end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Captain Biscuit Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 For $50, Valhalla Room is unbeatable. Can't say I enjoyed Shimmer much though. I'm digging the free TAL-Reverb II at the moment, it's a cool little stereo plate which I like on drum busses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
