in my studio, with my monitors (and ears) the differences were very subtle, and almost entirely in the very last few mSec of the tail. I did end up ranking them, and I thought the Exponential reverbs edged out the others, but I'd be hard pressed to spend the difference between Pheonix and Room or R2 and Vintage. My take, and I might get some of the names reversed but that will be obvious enough.įrom a sound perspective I am fascinated that three reverbs at three very different price points from three different companies sound so good, and so similar. I was in the market for a "better" algorithmic reverb - actually, I'm still searching for a reverb to replace Wizzo-Verb. Not too terribly long ago I trialed (is that a word) reverbs from 2CAudio, Exponential Audio, and Valhalla. It really boils down to what you'll use an algo reverb for.

So far I think it'a an excellent reverb and may be my new "go to" There is a lot of tweakability and many people object to the interface. I've read some not so good user reviews on gearslutz or KVR,īut I think it's because people are often thrown by Melda plugs. What I like right away is it's spacial positioning system- very cool. I'm still in the "checking it out phase", been to busy to really get a handle on it. If that is true, I can only imagine it is excellent.Īether has a lot of knobs- so it's extremely tweakable which is what I look for.Īnother reverb you may want to look into is Melda's Mverb- very cheap! Supposedly Breeze is a simpler version of Aether. I haven't used Breeze but Aether had been my go to reverb for a long time. I don't think of it as something to reach for when I'm trying to emulate a "real space".īut I do use it a lot- especially on guitars. I tend to use it more for smaller pop type music than orchestral. I like Valhalla, but tend to not try it for ERs.

Personally I use algos for ER and Convo for tail, but just as many people take the opposite approach. If that's what you are also doing, then the question is-Īre you using the convolution for, Tail or ER?

So I use the 3 ERs for Near, Middle and Far all feeding into a Tail approach. I also prefer dry samples to the baked in room sound. I didn't think it was "too reverberant", btw.
