This would be very suitable as a Pop reverb, great on vocals!The mission: apply a sense of space to the channels in your project, or create cool Reverse Reverb Effects using reverb plugins. When it comes to the more modern digital sounding reverbs we really do like the FabFilter Pro-R. Really there are two different styles of reverbs in this test.
#Valhalla vintage verb nonlinear psp
It has a similar tail type to the PSP reverbs with a nice distribution of early and late reflections and a nice linear decay. The Waves TrueVerb is very natural sounding - quite a lot of bottom end with a touch of a scooped sound when compared to the Valhalla room.
#Valhalla vintage verb nonlinear full
Valhalla Room does not have the same amount of top end as the Pro-R but it does have a bit more guts in the low mids and has more of a centre signal than the Pro-R does, lending to it being a more full sounding reverb. This is a reverb that does not have much centre signal to it when compared to something like the Valhalla Room. The FabFilter Pro-R again has a nice extension into the top end and is very wide sound. It is a very midsy reverb that has that big gunshot style sound - gives a bit more of that cavernous sound because of how nonlinear sounding it is across the mid range, very cool character to this reverb - Being a revision of an old EMT it is obviously not meant to be a super slick modern EQ. When combined the reverb becomes a lot more lush and the higher frequencies that jumped out and slapped a bit in the are a lot more controlled, very nice and natural sounding. The higher frequencies in the have a nice slap to them and seem to have a different energy spread than the lower mids which tail out longer. Both have very similar characteristics in the decay. The compared to the has more low mids and a little more bottom end, giving it some more lushness but not as bright of a feel to the reverb. It has an interesting way that it seems to pick up certain harmonics in places compared to some of the other reverbs.
Same amount of fullness and a nice clean reproduction, it does not have as much extension into the top end but this lends to a more natural feel than its super uncharacterised replicative counterpart - the Pro-R. The Valhalla is a lot more similar to the Pro-R. The wide high frequencies make for a very wide reverb - listen for how it gets wider as it reverberates and the lack of mid signal with the reverb. The Pro-R has the most extension into the high frequencies and they sound very natural and pretty - not phasey and well portrayed from the original signal.
It has fairly a similar tone character to the but with a lot more low mids and centre signal whereas the is more scooped and wider. The UAD is a very punchy with an explosive beginning that fades in energy and tapers off very quickly obviously you can increase the RT60 on this unit though. These have more energy later in the reverb that holds out for quite awhile - has a very non linear decay until the delay time is up and sound surprisingly natural for being a recreation of such an old digital reverb. Despite having the pre delay as low as possible the delay is not instantaneous and it rises up after a short delay compared to some of the other reverbs. When combined they get a bit more richness and I think the top end and sparsity is increased.
When comparing the and the comes off as a bit more lush and full than the - As you would expect being a newer and revised version. And that is something you can easily pick up despite slight any apparent differences between units of the feel or perceived length of the decay. And even though they may be using RT60 for decay, it seems that the decay curves differ which can also be as a function perceptually from any EQ filteringwhich of course will give a different sound and perceived length for the Reverb tail. The was a slightly later revision of thefeaturing some more added controls and a different conversion engine that was 16 bit with a 18 kHz Sample rate. Having 16 bit converters with a rolled off frequency response it is a very colourful sounding reverb with a distinctive lack of top end. As some extra background, the was one of the first digital Reverbs coming after e. One of their reverbs captured our interest recently, being that it is an emulation of some legendary digital reverb units from the semi distant past the EMT fromand the from is their Reverb. They have plugins ranging from precise mastering EQs through to colourful vintage emulations of gear, metering packages and some really handy effects.
