Elson Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Need some recommendations for go-to reverb VST plugins for CbB. I default to Breverb, but it doesn't have everything I'm looking for. I *REALLY* liked the Lexicon DX plugin that was bundled back in the Sonar days. I was going to buy some of the current Lexicon plugin packages, but unfortunately they all use iLok, which is a major turnoff for me. I also have the Waves Diamond bundle, which has R-Verb, but I only really use that on occasion. What are your go-to reverb plugins?
Leizer Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 When I do orchestral stuff I mainly use EW Spaces. Otherwise Valhalla Room and Shimmer. Adding a little touch of shimmer always does it for the big soundscapes. Sometimes I fall back to Breverb and even Sonitus Reverb, because I know it better than the other.

Soundwise Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I suggest you try the ToneBoosters Reverb 4. It sounds awesome! Recently I've been going through all reverbs plugins installed on my system (20+), and was blown away by the quality of this plugin. 2

There was a 64bit DX version bundled with SONAR. The last version to include it was 8.5. Consider running an advanced install of a version of SONAR to get the plug-in back. 1 1

My main go to has been Valhalla VV, however I'm turning more to TB Reverb 4. All of TB's stuff is excellent and Jeroen is a top developer with a lot of industry experience. 1

scook Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Cakewalk starting shipping 64bit versions with SONAR 5. The SONAR 7 DVD should have both 32 and 64bit versions on the disk.

Starship Krupa Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks for the tip on Dragonfly, TheSteven. I must check it out. A freeware favorite of mine is Orilriver, which takes turns with BReverb and TrueVerb on my reverb bus. It has all the controls I want on an algorithmic reverb, including high and low cut.
Amicus717 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Exponential Audio - Nimbus reverb is my goto: https://www.exponentialaudio.com/nimbus/ Love how it sounds -- clean and spacious and rich.
Slugbaby Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 My reverb plugin choices seem to change whenever I've got an extra $20 to spend, but right now the Waves Abbey Road Chambers is my go-to.
Royal Yaksman Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I would recommend buying Waves H Verb, but you can probably get the full H Series for a similar price to the individual plugs during the right sale.
abacab Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 +1 for the Waves H-Reverb. https://www.waves.com/plugins/h-reverb-hybrid-reverb#greg-wells-on-using-h-reverb-for-vocals https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/waves-h-reverb
abacab Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I also like the Overloud REmatrix, for a conventional convolution reverb with a library of IRs. But I only have the Player version. https://www.overloud.com/products/rematrix Here is how to move REmatrix Solo into REmatrix Player. https://www.overloud.com/node/180 Quote Since there is not a direct correspondence from a Sonar ProChannel module and any other plugin format in other DAWs, we have set up a procedure to let you move from REmatrix Solo to REmatrix Player (which is the free version of REmatrix, running like the full version with some limitations). REmatrix Player, by the way, is a richer version, if compared to REmatrix Solo. You can follow these steps to install your copy of REmatrix SOLO Library: https://www.overloud.com/installation-rematrix-lib.php?p=2210 Edited January 31, 2019 by abacab
Lynn Wilson Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 +2 for the Waves H-Reverb. It can often be had for $29, which is a bargain for what it can do.
RBH Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Valhalla Room is my stand alone go to Reverb. Sounds good and it doesn't bog me down with a kludgy interface. I have a large assortment of Lex plugs and UAD EMT140 which is very good.
synkrotron Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I used to love Breverb. Upgraded to the full version shortly after SONAR introduced it as an effect. But then FabFilter released Pro-R and that is all I use now. Software wise anyway. I also have a couple of outboard effects that I use from time to time...
TheSteven Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Another option: Acon Digital Verbrrate is on sale now $29 at Plugin Boutiquehttps://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/17-Reverb/886-Verberate
