reverb
reverb
I like reverb, but I'm never really satisfied with the sounds I get from my software. Quirkier, sharper reverb is pretty easy, but I can't quite get the really natural smooth sound. I've tried verbing diff sections of the spectrum differently, and layering different reverbs and very soft delays together, but not the really smooth sexy shit you hear on alot of pro recordings.
what are good reverb VST's? or any other tips?
Noticed that the lower end lexicon reverb units are pretty reasonable, could add that to my little list when I stock my desk with goodies next year.

the cheaper lexicons wont really be any better than vst plugins.
you have to spend a bit more for it to be worth while really.
so maybe a 480L is over kill. PCM90's are rad. but hard to find.
i'd stick to plugins like alti-verb & waves impulse reverbs
edit: the TC electronics stuff is quite good (system 6000 ) like the m-one

what hardware reverb are you useing at the moment?
Yeh Lexicon certainly has a pretty strong rep 'verb wise, I leanr that pretty quick, makes that descision pretty easy. But for now while I'm still kicking it pov' central, would still like to know how I can get close to sexy pro reverb with software.
Goodies on my list -
either KRK Rokits or Samson Rubicons for monitors. something in that price range anyway, nothing too flash unless I get pretty serious. For interface presonus firebox looks good, mainly because for that intermediate firewire pricerange this one seems to get good reviews for the mic preamps, and I want to record instruments.
Korg Padkontrol.
new putter is probably a must too.
Might be able to afford the interface next month at least, but the rest will have to wait till I'm on a bit more cash after summer, car needs work
Zander, don't the MX lexicons share the same algorithms as the PCM models? just stripped back programing abilities? If some kid on some forum said it, it must be true! The Lexicon site says 'based on', that could mean anything I guess.
I'll have a crack at the altiverb . thanks! CPU gonna hate me.

I've heard great things about the CSR reverbs from IK Multimedia.
Lower cpu than convolution and lets be honest, a good synthetic reverb can sometimes be better for electronic music anyway.

I think that's what appeals to me too, not just the sound, but not punishing the CPU. Played around with altiverb as per Zander's suggestion, bit it certainly makes your computer work. Not something you can sit there and modulate on the fly whilst you got other tracks running.. Twidleing the knobs would be alot nice than piss farting around with a touchpad too. I'll hunt around and try some others. Basicaly I want something that I can run on multiple sends without mauling cpu, that still sounds nice and warm. Probably not possible eh?
