Then, IвЂ™ll set the Mix to 75-100% and the Decay to above 3 seconds. When IвЂ™m designing incredibly large, lush pads and atmospheres, IвЂ™ll slap Room directly onto an insert. It sounds great when used in so many different ways and also uses minimal CPU even when you have many instances of the plugin running within your project at once.

When it comes to deciding on which reverb to use in my own projects, this reverb is often my first choice.

RoomвЂ™s newest update also adds the ability to choose between their old school red and a new electric blue GUI color scheme. However, ValhallaDSP has provided a description of each parameter at the bottom of the plugin window, which appears whenever you are controlling a knob/slider. The right-hand section may be a bit overwhelming if youвЂ™re unfamiliar with more advanced reverb concepts. This section also includes a modulation parameter that allows you to add a chorus effect. On the right side of the interface is a plethora of knobs that allow you to control other parameters for the late and early reflections of the reverb. On the left side of the interface are five vertical sliders that provide the most commonly used reverb parameters, which include Mix, Predelay, Decay, High Cut, and Depth. The pluginвЂ™s GUI is organized and easy to understand, even for a beginner.

ValhallaRoom comes loaded with lots of excellent presets, and even the default patch sounds great. What makes this plugin stand out is its simplicity. One of AltiverbвЂ™s most robust features is the вЂњpositionerвЂќ option that allows you to move the reverb left, right, forward, and backward in your mix, as if you are moving an instrument to a different position on stage. In fact, IвЂ™m unlikely to put this on a vocal, unless it happens to be a choir that I want to put into a chapel or performance hall. Altiverb is not your everyday vocal reverb plugin. Also, Altiverb gives you the option to upload your own IRвЂ™s, so gear up and head to your nearest abandoned warehouse.Д¬onvolution reverbs likely wonвЂ™t cover every single one of your mixing needs. Audio Ease provides a large selection of IRвЂ™s within Altiverb, and they continue to release new IRвЂ™s every month. Whether youвЂ™re looking to place a rather dull grand piano directly onstage at the famous Disney Hall, or take a live drum recording and make it sound like it was recorded in the center of a church, Altiverb can do that for you.

What makes Altiverb so unique is the accuracy with which the spaces have been recorded, and how alive every space feels. For example, an ambient song might use a hall reverb with a long decay time to provide a song with an open and ethereal feel, while a pop song might use a plate reverb with a short decay time to keep all the elements feeling present, and in-your-face. Inversely, sounds with a heavier amount of reverb and low volume will get pushed to the background of your mix. Sounds with a light amount of reverb, and high volume (like lead vocals), will get pushed to the foreground of your mix. The more signal you send to the aux with the reverb, the more of the effect youвЂ™ll hear. Typically, a reverb is placed on an aux track, and a little bit of signal from each instrument/vocal track is sent to the reverb. When this effect is used in excess, it can feel as though elements of your song are вЂњdrowningвЂќ in the background of your mix. A reverbвЂ™s primary role is to emulate a space for the elements of your mix to interact with. When it comes to mixing down a track, one of the most common causes of muddiness is the use (or overuse) of reverb.
