Starship Krupa Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I was surprised by the reasonableness of the price. I'm sure it uses those sweet, sweet Exponential algorithms, so it should be a great-sounding 'verb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 8 hours ago, BTP said: has anyone bought it I already have all of the Exponentials and Neoverb, so I'll wait a couple of years for the $9.99 sales. What it does can probably be approximated with pre and/or post EQ on a reverb send. Some reverbs (like the Exponentials and MeldaProduction's) have EQ built in. It looks like what they've done here is built in Trackspacer or MSpectralDynamics-style adaptive collision control. Notice how the demo shows a common EQ "smile." Carving EQ in reverb returns dates back at least as far as George Martin at Abbey Road. What they've done is a clever, iZotope-y take on it. If I want what it does, I can twist up something in MXXX. Might be a fun challenge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Walton Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 NeoVerb is a resource hog, would need some real world tests to know if this is close to Exponential audio efficiency (and sound).....and a lower price point given they abandoned the EA plugins.

Except for that multi-fx one whose name I can't even remember. Stratus and Symphony and their 3D counterparts have been updated to run on Apple's new processors and are still being sold. Phoenix, Nimbus and Stratus could have been called Phoenix, Phoenix 2, and Phoenix 3. Or even 1.1 and 1.2, the newer features really weren't all that. The presets from each previous one work in the later ones. Same with R1, R2 and Symphony. That was the Exponential guy's doing, for whatever reason he decided that each revision should have a whole new product name. He did seem to be into wringing as much money as possible out of the products, Stratus and Symphony are STILL single-seat licenses. iZotope at least put them in the iLok Cloud so you can use them on multiple systems, just not at the same time. iZotope probably decided that there was no reason other than price to maintain 12 products instead of 4. There was some outcry about old project compatibility for Phoenix and the rest, but If Phoenix and R1 stop working for whatever reason and people still have unfinished projects that include them, they can export presets and use them in the newer versions. Sux for Mac users, but if anyone's used to forced upgrades, it's Mac users.🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will no longer make any updates to keep these operational with future OS updates (hopefully not an issue on Windows, but who knows) The cost to upgrade 6 seats to a different product that is "compatible/updated moving forward" is an absurd amount of money and therefore I'd call them abandoned.

We don't need updates to the algos, anyone on the dev team can keep it updated for os changes. See the note above about the two EA plugins that are the same thing that are getting updates. They chose not to and charge absurd upgrade fees for features we don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I sympathize. Just saying that iZotope acquired an unfortunate situation as far as how the product line was set up. The line should have already been down to just 4 reverbs. I too have a couple of Excalibur licenses kicking around although I no longer even bother to install it. I only picked it up because $9.99 and Phoenix knocked me out so hard I figured it had to have something going for it. Turns out it just never made the rotation. As you point out, the Exponential abandonment should be less of an issue on Windows. Mac users are used to being treated as money-filled piñatas, hung by their feet and beaten until the cash falls from their pockets. At least MTurboReverble finally managed to equal the Expos in quality (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) Got the crossgrade for £21.77 (including VAT) from Plugin Boutique using some virtual cash and cashing in tokens. First impressions are good. Full price was £35 inc VAT. Edited October 3 by Vernon Barnes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
