That'll tell you a lot about what to listen for.Īnd definitely grab Supermassive. Also don't overlook the description of each algorithm, (right in the interface when you hover). A day or two using them side by side should be enough to tell you if prefer one over the other. The shortest and easiest path to deciding if you think one sounds better than the other is to flip through a bunch of presets until you find a few you like, then adjust the parameters to tailor it to what you're after. The reverbs less realistic, but at the same time it has a lot of tricks up its sleeve thee other two don't. It can do reverb, and morph between reverb and delay. I'd also suggest not looking past Valhalla delay. They're both great, I don't find one to be better than the other, really just depends on if you want something more colored or more clean.
I say loosely as its not modeling a specific vintage reverb, more like the sound of the converters and frequency bandwidth of reverbs from 2 "decades" plus a modern option, (70s, 80, and current.)
Room is for clean algorithmic reverb, Vintage Verb as the name suggests is loosely modeling the sound of vintage reverbs. Both are great, each have their own purpose. Valhalla Vintage Verb v1.0.Click to expand.As others said demo both. Modernist, minimalist 2D graphic design.Continuously resizable – just click on the lower right corner and drag to the desired size.Share presets via emails, forum posts, etc. A powerful cross-platform preset menu, with the ability to copy and paste presets in a text format.The goal is for the plugin to be self-documenting. Tooltips at the bottom of the plugin window, that describe the currently selected reverb mode and color mode, as well as any parameters the user is adjusting.Streamlined set of powerful parameters, organized into logical categories.The interface has been designed to be instantly accessible and user friendly:
The modulation is clean and colorless, versus the funky artifacts of the 1970s/1980s modes.
The modulation is still dark and noisy, but will produce different artifacts than the 1970s mode as it is running at the full sampling rate. Full bandwidth / sampling rate, for a brighter sound than the 1970s. The modulation is dark and noisy, and can produce strange and random sidebands with sustained notes. Downsampled internally, to reproduce the artifacts of running at a lower sampling rate. Replicates the reduced bandwidth of the earliest digital reverberators (10 kHz maximum output frequency). Useful for adding “air” to drums, vocals, and any place where a reverb should be felt but not heard.ģ color modes for dialing in the tone color and sonic artifacts of a specific reverb era:ġ970s. Combines time varying randomized early reflections with a full-featured reverb tail, with the balance between early and late reverb controlled by the Attack knob. Same as Random Space, but with the delay randomization replaced with lush chorused modulation. The modulation uses internal delay randomization, to reduce metallic artifacts without the pitch change that can occur in the algorithms with chorused modulation. This generates DEEP and WIDE reverbs, with a slow attack, and more diffusion than the late 1980s algorithms that inspired it. Highly diffuse, high echo density, less coloration than Plate/Room algorithms, chorused modulation. Medium diffusion/early echo density, somewhat darker sound, chorused modulation. Emulates the sound of early 1980s room algorithms.
Highly diffuse, bright initial sound, high echo density, lush chorused modulation. Inspired by early 1980s plate algorithms. Similar to the Concert Hall algorithm, but with a brighter initial sound, and deeper and lusher modulation. Huge spatial image, echo density that can be adjusted from very sparse to very dense, and lush chorusing modulation. Based on the hall algorithms of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Valhalla Vintage Verb is a postmodern reverb plugin, inspired by the classic hardware digital reverbs of the 1970s and 1980s.
