Relab 480 full version in beta available

[engn]

This was a long time coming! I really liked what I heard from the initial version

[MarsBot]

I sure hope I get this free after buying the half-baked version years ago and waiting . . .

Because you couldn't use the light version since then?

I guess it's not vaporware, after all.

I liked the lite version but if it takes years to go from lite to full imagine how long it will take for bug fixes, 64bit, aax. I will not get on this train.

Certainly a valid observation. Only time will tell if 64/aax, etc. will be delayed.

But it is great to hear that progress has been made.

The relab website, as best as I can see, still only mentions the existence of the LX480 LITE version. Did they make an announcement somewhere else (Gearslutz thread?) about the beta for the full version?

No, because I supported the developer and had faith that the real product was on the way soon. And the previous updates weren't backward compatible (in a bad way). Sorry, it's too little too late. Nebula reverb versions of the 480 sound fantastic and that's what I use now. If you have Nebula, I suggest you try this

Reverb 480 – Nebula Programs | signaltonoize.com

His 480 samples are the best ITB reverb I've heard.

Little too late? For whom? What is there some alternative? I mean real alternative?

They are nice sounding yes but they are what 13 programs? Are you seriously suggesting people that if they are looking for 480 reverb sound that everything they'll ever need is 13 reverb programs which can't be edited ??

I have Nebula reverbs and latency is absolutely not acceptable (more then 300ms..i know it can be reduced at the cost of extreme CPU sucking...as i said not acceptable) and CPU is quite high. I praise nebula for other things though...

Relab lx480 will worth it if it is what is advertised to be. Best thing is to wait and after demo experience to see was it worth it (painful waiting)..

I learned from Slate VTM that i won't never ever decide anything about plugin until i hear it in action bymyself. I ditched it at first but after several listening sessions it became next wow thing in my arsenal. I hope this will be too in reverb department(expecting this after i had beautiful experience with LX480 first version-how is it called anyway?Light,Lite?)....

Exactly.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on his work flow. Up till now he may have been devoting most of his time to getting the rest of the algorithms right. He seems to be very meticulous, he claims a 1:1 with the original, even modelling the a/d converters.

Whenever he was asked how long it would take him he sort of said "as long as it takes". A good approach, if it is as good as the lite version was at its aim then it will be a very serious reverb product indeed. An ITB Lexicon 480L.

Worth waiting for? I've had the lite version for over a year I think, I bought it for what it was. A Hall reverb from the 480L.

I am no expert, I still think it's the richest reverb I've tried, but I don't know how to get the best out of reverb in general yet in a mix context. I am still learning.

The upgrade will be $300 IIRC for existing lite users. Steep compared to the competition, but still not expensive imo for what you are getting.

So maybe after this major part of the work is done, updates and so on may come along faster as Relab will have more time to do those things. It's just normal for people to spend their time on core of the product first, then take care of the details.

That's what I think anyway. I like this verb and till now only B2 has really made an impression on me besides this. And I still prefer this for halls. There is just a really classy & dense quality to it that doesn't feel fake like many other reverbs.

Always best to buy something for what it is at the time, nothing more because you never know, even the developer doesn't know what lies ahead of him.

That is what Martin writes on his forum on the relab website: "Please mail beta (AT) relab (DOT) dk with iLok ID for participation in the beta." and that is an other info on his website.

"We only have PC beta out at the moment. When the Mac version is ready are information will be shared".


Therefore I repeat my question has anybody that PC beta of the full version running on his PC?

and I quote Martin again:" Just to clarify - every customer of the current product are ofcourse entitle to participate in the beta. We're seeking permission to open the beta for our customers, since we'll distribute unreleased drivers. When new information is available it will be psted on this forum."

As I am on mac will have to wait....but morning has broken!

[leonardo777]

In addition to RANDOM HALL and its HD version you also have HALL, PLATE/ROOM, TWIN DELAYS, AMBIENCE and SURROUND/HD. The HALL and PLATE/ROOM algorithms have many modulation options not found on the original. I've really only tried out the HALL algorithm so far, which I much prefer to RHALL for long decays. It can do a fabulous Vangelis/Blade Runner reverb.

this is what a gearslutzmember from spain writes on the thread "10 best reverb plugins"

[electro]

So its finally complete?

Hope to see some discount action on that $500.00 pricetag.

[thehightenor]

I don't see any official announcement.

Is this just a new product rumour?

No, people are beta testing it now. You can see the talk about it on his forum.

[Home Studio 87]

Yes some people test it like me !

[Trailmix]

I'm first in line for the Mac beta testing!
I held off buying the lite version because of the bugs I kept hearing with PTHD for about a year after the release. I then found a used version six months ago or so, and it has been my goto ever since.
I will jump on the full version immediately when released.

[Frede Panduro]

@Trailmix
What version OS X and Pro Tools are you on and are you having any troubles with the plugin?
I'm on Pro Tools HD 10.2 (HD1 accel) and OS X 10.6.8 (MacPro 3.1).
Is there anyone using the LX480 lite with the same system as I without problems? I ran the demo a year ago and pro tools was not acting good with the plugin back then..
I love the sound but I don't wan't to buy it if it won't work.

Best Regards
Frede

[Trailmix]

I am currently using PTHD 8.1.1 on OSX 10.6.8. When first installed it, any quick changing from one plugin to another would cause glitches or changing parameters too fast. But after a while it just started working better.

Still the sound is the best ITB reverb I've heard.

[Aiyn Zahav]

quick question, which will demonstrate how much of a dunce I am, what is really the difference between rooms and halls?

Dimensions or what, because a hall is a big room in a way right?

The complete version beta is available for the Mac, too. I have 64-bit AU and VST from Martin.

'ROOM' and 'HALL' are only names identifying 2 different algorithms. Their names are self-descriptive of what each reverb sounds like. You should hear a difference between different algorithms (reverbs) if you set the same values for both algorithms (ie. identical rt60, room size, damping etc.) and run identical material through both.
