Altiverb vs lexicon3/6/2023 ![]() ![]() I just bought the professional version because they have a black Friday deal. then ill look into something brighter and granier like valhalla suite or pro R I dont know, but to me this is my new work horse, unless im looking for something brighter that stands out as more of an 'effect' rather than a spatial thing. Anything that sounds like a deep dark mysterious well behind the singer. again what makes it stand out for me is its amazing ability to introduce front to back depth. ![]() The video may have made the seventh heaven bricasti look good! but having bought the thing and been using it for 2 weeks now i can assure u its quite special. Exponential audio tends to have more of a widening effect rather than a deepening effect. I have the waves too, but i think of it more as a tool for special reverb fx than as a main verb.Īt least you should try some other heavyweights to form an opinion for example the exponential audio r2 & r4 (now izotope), the lexicon pcm vst, the relab reverb plugins (480, sonsig, vsr) and i'll probably forgot some others.lexicon is ofc a legend. Opinions differ how good that can be reproduced in the box. There are loads of reverbs, the ability to have it loud in the mix and still glue everything together is something that made the lexicon hardware famous. I noticed valhallaroom set to a room algorithm is compared to a (boston) hall algorithm. Have not tried the thing myself, so no opinion on it.īut perhaps the video is made to make it look good? To me it shines best on vocals, incredible on strings / orchestras, and jaw dropping on drums. I swear to god i am not sponsored, i am simply floored and i dont like how little attention it has given that this is a make-or-break-sparse-mixes were talking about here. I got the standard edition which is 70 bucks hahaha i literally cannot believe it is this cheap. thick space behind the vocalist / string section. But my god, for depth and for real space emulation and just that lush. ![]() Valhalla and Pro-R were my go to's, and granted, they still have their uses of course and their pros over the bricasti emulation. There is a youtube video where you can very clearly hear the difference between this plugin and the other usual suspects. Upon demoing for half an hour and realizing it made literally every instance i used it on sound better than the reverb i initially had, i made the purchase. Even compared to other convolution verbs, this is so so special, i felt like i needed to write about it because i see very little hype around this little piece of software. this sounds like nothing else in the box. I wasnt aware it was a Bricasti emulation. It always looked a bit clunky and lame, for lack of a better word. I also noticed some mixers i respect on youtube using the software (Seventh Heaven by Liquidsonics). well ill start with the fact that i found out CLA and dave pensado amongst many many others use a bricasti m7 as their go to reverb. but it would never work as an 'emulation of a deep, in the screen' space thing. I loved how valhalla vintage verb sounded in solo, for throws, etc. I'll first admit that reverb was never my strong suite but thats only because i never was quite able to make it fit right in busy mixes, which is usually all i work on. but mainly been using valhalla as my meat and potatoes verb. I've always used the likes of waves h reverb, logic's stock space designer (which is great in its own right). ![]() I've been in the mixing biz for a little over 5 years now, been doing it for 9 years. Just wanted to point how absolutely jaw dropping the seventh heaven sounds to me. ![]()
