Bob Olhsson was kind enough to... Run my informal "Dock Of The Bay" vocal clip, into Hitsville a while back. Will see if I can make an MP3 of the WAV file. And otherwise "Ketchup" with this Thread later. I just have UAD Pure Plate and Relab Essentials, as my top 2 Reverbs. Chris |

So there's not one "big gorilla" that costs out the ass but delivers sonically more than others... Oh lordy no! Its like guitar players & overdrive boxes. Do you know any guitarist worth their salt who only owns one? No! They have at least a handful if not a dozen or more. And if they don't they suck. And what's the "best" sound anyway? If the music needs a gnarly PCM60 or spx90 on a snare drum then the Bricasti isn't going to make the right tone. Its too pretty. And at least here? If we need some lo fi 12-bit PCM60 reverb, well... I'll reach for the hardware because it makes the right sound. Its not 1951 anymore. Nobody on a professional level is like Sam Phillps & Sun Studios... we've got one slap echo and one tank? No no. We have options. Lots of options! And IMO most of 'em are pretty good. Then the question becomes what's appropriate for the music? Well, I’m not 12 and asking which is the bestest reverb. I understand that there’s no “best” reverb. I was asking if there was one that touted itself as being the Maybach of the recording world. Like at one point I think Altiverb fancied itself as being the most expensive and best sounding product. |

I kinda think of LS Seventh Heaven as being the de facto top-of-the-heap ITB reverb.

Ironically the Chinese dug Maybach's. Were/are used as Limos.

kitplugins are about to drop a new reverb plugin with interesting looking „floor, ceiling, too“ knobs. and the front/back slider is always appealing to me. thats why i still like valhalla rooms: there‘s the depth slider which simply pushes a sound more back into the room or upfront. love this kind of simplicity. That looks like it's gonna be great! |

I kinda think of LS Seventh Heaven as being the de facto top-of-the-heap ITB reverb. I’ve got it…but I don’t know why I don’t bond with it. There have been times where I thought the shorter plates just worked better in SH…but I usually end up choosing the UAD 140 or Valhalla Plate. I really like in Valhalla plate, you can pick a plate and then cycle through the different tonal flavors like Steel, Chrome, Unobtanium etc. and the all sound different. I just figured that out and that’s been really cool to kind of match the flavor of the song and the top and bottom decays the way you want. I do find that I often have to crank the output of SH to match the ouput of other verbs…and that makes me wonder if that’s why I don’t choose it more often - it’s “losing” battles because it might be lower volume without me noticing. |

Cheers, Geoff I have the full version and a real M7M... I compared them yesterday (have done this before)... the difference is substantial....for me... the bricsti is more alive and sounds way more like it's a real instrument in a real space.....the 7th heaven is good... The only other plug in I have ever heard that is like the bricasti in realness... is the recent sound city studios from UA. but its in reality one room. The 7th heaven sounds good... but it is no Bricasti.... cheers Wiz |

I remember hearing those and thinking 'damn, that's closer than I would have thought'...but that was quite awhile ago. Several monitoring upgrades (for me) ago. I'd love to give them a fresh listen. |

Man...I can't find a single use for it that beats out what I already use stuff for...the tails aren't very long. It might be that it's so colored that makes me never choose it - well, I haven't opened it in a while, so maybe I need to check again. Yeah same here……@hightenor throw up a preset you like I love the Marvin and Tammy preset on vocals. Sometimes I tweak it a little, but the short tail lets the vocal sit well in a mix where I have a lot of other spatial stuff going on. It’s not so much that it’s short as that it decays in just the right way. |

I'm curious if anyone else has compared the Bricasti to Inspirata. That's the one people on forums say is closest to that Bricasti quality. I've tried them back to back using the Bricasti from Access Analog and thought that Inspirata retained the most of that hardware's quality of any other plugin I compared it against. Probably posted about it here back when I did.

I tried the demo of Inspirata and thought it was really good. But it only works at lower sample rates (the demo) and I didn’t have much to try it with at those rates. But I made a mental note to buy it sometime.

But I made a mental note to buy it sometime. Think I saw where the bigger versions go all the way up...but ya gotta spend like $1900 to get to 174 or whatever. But really, who's recording that high? |

And I'm terribly confused about pricing - on the site it's listing the Profession download as $199...on SW it's drastically more?
