Room’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 you’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 plugin’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. When it comes to digital reverbs, Room sounds very organic and can fit a wide variety of material. It won’t replicate the sound of a famous concert hall, in the way that Altiverb will, but that’s not what Room was built to do. ValhallaDSP describes it as a “versatile, true stereo algorithmic reverb.” With the choice to select between one of 12 different reverb algorithms (or “Reverb Mode”), Room has a very natural feel to it. Out of all of the reverbs that ValhallaDSP has released, Room is by far the most versatile and is my suggestion for anyone looking for an all-purpose reverb at a low cost.Īlthough it has it’s specialties, Room is capable of many different applications. They have a great line of plugins focusing on time-based effects, specializing specifically in reverb. Valhalla is known for making incredibly lush and versatile reverbs for all sorts of projects. One of Altiverb’s most robust features is the “positioner” 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, I’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 IR’s, so gear up and head to your nearest abandoned warehouse.Ĭonvolution reverbs likely won’t cover every single one of your mixing needs. Audio Ease provides a large selection of IR’s within Altiverb, and they continue to release new IR’s every month. Whether you’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.
