Best reverb VST?

[xmortumx]

For algorithmic reverb, I can't find anything that can replace the Arts Acoustic reverb.

Yeah dude I had to demo it today... and wow sounds fucking dope. Im currently using Verbiage for mostly everything... but i got to say Arts Acoustic reverb sound just to fucking good.

I mostly use SIR2, with many impulses I've collected thru time.
In addition, speaking of algorithmic reverbs, I use the Sonitus Reverb (One of the Sonar's built-in reverbs)... it works unexpectedly well on drums.

+1
The Sonitus Reverb is a really good algorithmic reverb indeed.

I moved away from Arts Acoustic after I got Aether and Redline reverb. Aether is way better with possibilities and modulation option and all-round flexibility. Redline is sort of a workhorse Lexicon emu verb. None of them are hardware yet, but I guess that's why we use the Bricasti IRs... fool ourselves into thinking it's all good

Isn't a hardware reverb just a digital processer in a rack unit configuration? With the power of native processing these days, I'm surprised hardware 'verbs have any advantage unless there's something I'm missing...

I have used all three and I'm still sticking with Arts Acoustics for my mixes. Like I said, I can get the Arts Acoustic reverb sounding more lively and even smoother than the Bricasti impulses. There's a lot of flexibility within that reverb. Although, it's all subjective.

Freeverb2 for drums, Bricasti IRs for everything else.

+1 to Freeverb2. Its got a perfect sound to complement drums.

 

[KillFrenzy]

+1 to Arts Acoustic. Really good go to reverb. with some decent presets to start working with.

Does Redline or Arts Acoustic let you load in impulses?

 

[Machinated]

havent used arts acoustic but redline is an algorithmic verb not a convolution verb so its not comparable. Algo reverbs generate their own reverbs, convolution ones base theirs off impulses.

im guessing arts acoustic is algo too.

 

[Ermz]

I think down the track the algorithmic solutions are the way to go. Convolution is in its very nature limited. For the time being it may be an alright option since most algo plug-ins aren't matching the hardware of yesteryear but you really have to ask yourself... why is that? We have way more DSP and CPU juice than they had back in the mid 80s when the Lexicons were doing their thing. They're all primitive digital units. Did everyone just slack off with their algorithms once we went all digital?

So many verbs around these days, but hard to tell which are true gems. Aether at least does something unique, which is why I bought it. The Redline verb doesn't sound stellar. It sounds okay, but it's tweakable and easy to use enough to be a workhorse verb.

Arts Acoustic always sounded a bit weird/thin to me. It never glued the tracks. It did a cool surreal distance effect, but none of it was ever really what I wanted.

 

[Machinated]

I'd love to see some more high quality reverb plugins, I have so much CPU power that I can easily afford it to be really inefficient CPU wise.

impulses are way too limited i think, but can be alright for trying out different kinds of reverbs. usually if i use impulses, ill try and match the sound (or the best parts of it) with an algo verb, and go from there.

An answer por favor?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Depends on the verb, but I mainly use SIR 2.

Sorry for this little of topic reply but I have a little question about verb and drum:

What type of verb do you use on drum (Room, Hall, Plate)?
