| I've been demoing this reverb and at first I wasn't that into it mainly because I was comparing it in solo mode on a single instrument. It doesn't have the clarity of VSS3 or UAD 250. But then UAD 250 wasn't really cutting it for backing vocals on a heavy rock tune and when I put Redline Reverb in with a similar setting it really brought those vocals to life in this particular tune.
I guess what I'm saying is it's easy to dismiss a reverb if you don't listen to it in context. Also, I've noticed that when it comes to delays and reverbs, sometimes the ones that don't sound as "wonderful" in solo or isolation actually end up being the perfect thing in the mix.
I think this is a useful reverb. It has a certain presence that I don't hear in most of the other software reverbs I've tried (which is pretty much everything out there). I also like the small room sounds on it, though I haven't really tested them on a tune yet. I'm definitely going to buy it. |
