The most expensive reverbs for free

[testfeld]

Do you ever wanted to use some of the most expensive hardware reverbs, but your are not able to afford them ? Well then you are probably low on budget like me

But if your audio software is capable of using vst plugins you can try this free plugin.

This tool uses Impulse-responses to generate reverbs. Impulse-responses are generated by recording short broadband signals and their corresponding room-reflections. They contain the information needed to reproduce the same room with other signals like your snare or whatever.

So all you need is the plugin and some Impulse Responses to load into and they can be downloaded here

Impulse-based reverbs are amazingly realistic - I'm gonna check this plugin out, see if how it compares to my Creamware Masterverb..

Nice one for the link!

Kion is the man!

just given this a go.
this is actually a really nice plug in! very realistic reverb!

Go to the Lexi option and download the Lexicon convolution files to emulate the different models of hardware reverb unit that are shown.

The Lexicon 960 is the daddy of reverb units - at around £8k it's a bit out of Joe Bloggs's budget!

You can also get some interesting effects if you use wavs rather than impulses. I was interested in using it to get the imprints of voices onto other instruments - if you remove the original signal completely and mess about with the other settings, you end up with some really wierd effects, that you can always resample and use as pads, atmospheres, etc.

[kion]

Yeah I've done that before using Acoustic Mirror in Sound Forge. You can use convolution to emulate (to some degree) what your track would sound like on a particular club system by taking an impulse inside the club itself (if you're lucky enough to be able to do that) or within another acoustic space.

No good for emulating the bass obviously, but good for hearing how certain sounds get lost and aren't really necessary in your mix.

Gonna bump this cos the plugin ain't half bad!

I have been using SIR (another convolution reverb) but the latency is TERRIBLE, like 300ms. How is the latency on this one?

The VST is the SIR one. The latency is still an issue , but I think not as bad as in earlier versions. I mainly use it on drum sounds process it straight away and use the processed sound in the sampler. Maybe someone knows other impulse based VST reverbs with better latency values.
