Only 1 reverb for HD

deuc647 · 17th July 2007

Gearslutz, i need ur help, i just got an HD rig and am tryin to keep it simple as possible, im gonna grab the SSL bundle as soon as i get the set up up and running, i only want 1 good reverb, i like the idea of having different flavors but i also like the limitations of using what i got , all i want is ONE reverb, thats it, what would u guys consider a good or great all around reverb, TL, VSS3, i dunno, im lost, help a brotha out!

I bought Revibe for 200.00 from Dutchmusik on eBay.

deuc647 · 17th July 2007

Not VSS23, but yes on TL Space. I used TL Space with LE and liked it, but I heard it was buggy with HD so I went with Revibe. I try to avoid Reverb when possible, but Revibe takes care of what I need it to. Not sure how well Alitiverb works with HD, but I think most will agree at least as far as Native goes, it is up there with the Best if not the best. Soundtoys TDM will be a must have at some point. TDM only because they are great to track through.

I have a bunch, I say the eventide might be the the thickest most
outboard sounding of the lot

try a demo

Improv · 17th July 2007

I'd go revibe, personally. Most configurable, and it sounds great! May not be best at anything, but I think it's best for everything, nahmean?

robot gigante · 17th July 2007

Altiverb. If you can only buy one. It works fine in HD.

TL Space also works fine with HD but I don't think it sounds as good as Altiverb. I don't really like revibe at all.

Ruudman · 17th July 2007

I'd go with the VSS3. It's simple, yet flexible.

Plate 140? Great Reverb, Not Too Versatile Being Only Plate Based Though...

Can't really use it on Aux channel in HD. I use it, but on individual tracks.

zboy2854 · 17th July 2007

VSS3 or Altiverb, no question.

MrKidd · 17th July 2007

VSS3 and/or Altiverb 6

deuc647 · 17th July 2007

Altiverb,VSS3,revibe and eventide, damn this is why i hate plugs, cuz budget can go right out the window, anyone try the nonlin or DVR2?

Ruudman · 18th July 2007

The only way is to run the demos head to head; choose the one you like the most.
If you like them all, choose the one you think might be most suitable for your needs/environment.

Altiverb sounds great, but if I had to use only one reverb, I would 8 of 10 times use a generic one.

I have to give the Eventide bundle a huge thumbs up, though..
what a deal!!!

DVR2 is the most beautiful reverb i have heard. i prefer it than VSS3.

NONLIN, on the other hand, is a special effects tool. forget about it if you want to have just ONE reverb on your system.

i love the tl space but it's a dsp hog i got 4 running in my mix now and each eats a chip..if ya can't hack that get the waves convolution and just gank the tl stuff as well as all the stuff on the waves site

I have to agree with Sig.

You might want to even consider the Waves gold bundle which includes IRL, a "light" version of IR. It's a great sounding RTAS reverb, and with the gold bundle, you'll get a bunch of other very useful tools.

OK, all the Waves bashers, flame away!!

:( i have since gotten rid of PTHD and am getting a kurzweil ksp-8 and a tascam dm 4800 console, daw is still undecided, but i might keep the rosetta 200 and track through it or move to a lynx aurora, also thinkin of getting rid of the sebs and trying my hand at some neve-esqe pres, i needed a studio extreme makeover, lol, just wanted to streamline workflow now.

xmostynx · 8th February 2008

mad

for altiverb

its the best- get good impulses and you will never look for another one.

Please let us know how you like it after you drive it for a while. I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these.

BTW - Are the "TC Effects" onboard an M-2000 or better?

Thanks!!

Sure will, i should be getting it, sometime this month or the latest next. I heard the reverb in the console is pretty good but ALL of the presets need tweaking to shine, ill be sure to report back asap.

johnbohn · 8th February 2008

If you're only getting one I'd say get a convolution verb. Most likely I'd recommend Altiverb.

jmarkham · 8th February 2008

It's an oldie but a goodie .. ReverbOne is one of the best sounding
reverbs I've used.

None of the convolving reverbs will fit on the TDM ...

If you go RTAS, the Overloud Breverb sounds pretty darn good.
We checked it out at AES and it has a huge range of utility.

i believe both tl space and altiverb do....

Kenny Gioia · 8th February 2008

Waves IR-1 or Altiverb.

The TL Space TDM is also good but being that I'm only using an HD2, I couldn't afford all the chips used.

Enjoy.

But the eventide plugs are a must for everything else they do.

Then get yourself a Bricasti, an authentic plate, a dsp4000/3000/orville, pcm91 and a TC m4000/5000 and a quantec yardstick for good measure.
