It just sounds great to me.Arturia V-Collection 8 Software (DOWNLOAD) - Features 28 Classic Keyboard Emulations Lastly, as great as the plate convolutions in Altiverb sound, the UAD-1 Plate 140, a non-convolution reverb, still wins out. They're an affection like, say, flanging or rotary speaker simulation that don't really sound real-world, but still sound cool. I think artificial- or inorganic-sounding reverbs still have their place. It sounds dry, but also has a sense of slight distance about it. For example, I'll throw a guitar or VI synth track into, say, a Cello Studios live room, dial down some reflection so it's less "verby," then blend to taste. One of the negative tell-tale signs of home recording is that "everything's up front" syndrome there's a lack of perceived depth to a mix. I know every gravitates to Altiverb because of its big spaces, but I find it increasingly useful in mixing pop-oriented stuff ITB. I tried to complain about the sound once I got Altiverb, but it really holds its own. I do love Dreamverb's GUI- the room shaping, etc. I do have Altiverb5, so using this in combo with CSR has *really* come in quite handy. I was quite impressed at how "creamy" it was- how well it complimented the orchestral samples, which is always a problem to program from scratch. Yep- I've got an LE version of CSR that came bundled with Miroslav Philharmonik. Of course, if you're doing techno or pop that sounds better dry, then I can understand why you are in no hurry to try it, but if you are doing any acoustic spaces ITB, man, you will never go back to those old reverb algorithms once you try Altiverb.Īh! This is good news. I spent a lot of my life trying to figure out what makes great acoustics and where to place mics, as I always tried to "play the room." Altiverb lets me continue to do that-in the box! If you haven't tried a demo or something, you owe it to yourself to do that. Audio Ease has even sampled a number of great classic hardware reverbs, such as Wendy Carlos's EMT140 plate reverb. It's nice, when people ask "where did you record that?" to be able to answer "Sydney Opera Hall," or "Berlin Philharmonic Hall," or any of the couple dozen other spaces. These are sampled spaces! You end up sounding like you're in that space. 1) when someone is running a slow computer and OS9, etc., I'll try to convince them to bite the bullet and go for the latest DP and OSX. I'll rave about something I like, but it's not to apply pressure on anyone. I assume that everyone has their own pace and their own needs, so I try to stay out of that. Ordinarily I'm not the sort of guy who tries to entice people into buying stuff. But I guess I'm just going with the old axiom, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

No, I haven't tried Altiverb yet, and yes, everyone I know says it is truly awesome. With Dreamverb, Plate140 and CSR, I really feel like I have all I need in the reverb department. Then I mixed their outputs to taste.Īnd as posted on another thread, I really love the new CSR Plate for big, aggressive rock drum reverb. So anything that was sent to one reverb was sent to the other as well. On my last big mix project, I actually used a combination of Dreamverb and Plate140 on the same stereo send (two separate Auxs for returns, one for Dreamverb, one for Plate140). Dreamverb is my go-to effect for vocal, guitar and keyboard reverb. And Dreamverb's controls for early refections and filtering are great, IMO. I find Dreamverb to be quite useful, and indeed, it will do things that Plate140 won't. I agree with both Frodo and Jaysplace101.
Doesn't work on everything, but I think it's a good verb and does something the plate 140 won't do. Has anyone else found this plugin useful? Frodo wrote:I really don't mind UAD-1's Dreamverb at all for non convolution.
