Choose your room, and then lower the ceiling and move the furniture.

There's a world full of gizmo-and-gadget reverbs out there, to let you sound as if you recorded on the dark side of the moon or at the Royal Albert Hall. However, if you want room emulations that are more down-to-Earth, TrueVerb is the only one you'll need. Even the presets are stunning, and no tweaks required. The Guitar Room and Drum Room are pretty much ready-made room reverbs for those instruments, but great to experiment with other stuff, from vocals to violas. It's my go-to-reverb now, lovely on acoustic guitars, for instance, and you have instant atmosphere without sounding like you have just run your tracks through some effects pedal or wind tunnel. Realistic, so accurate that your ears forget you even used it but you just feel it was recorded in a decent space, I love it. My favorite reverb plug-in. Ever. Ten out of ten!

Verb bitches

Not so sure I like this one. I mean it makes everything sound a bit metallic. Not Metallica good, but metallic and tinny if that is a word. I use Ableton stock reverb for my verbs but am going to buy Valhalla's vintage verb tonight and see what that does for me. Luckily for me the TrueVerb was a free WAVEs giveaway and so I got it of course and why not? It was free.

The most advanced reverb

This reverb plugin from waves is the tool you can use for everything, as send or insert. It's a precise tool that lets you control everything. Low CPU usage, integrated EQ, precise control, high sound quality, this is the reverb you need for all production and mixing process

jimmarchi1

maybe a little excessive in your praise, but its does a little bit of everything and a few things really well... for how long its been around its a nice one! I think I first got it in 1999 or maybe a bit alter when it was pretty new.

oskarlothe

Great for vocals!

I use this plugin for vocals mostly. It is great for vocals, and it is easy to use. One thing I don't like is the metallic effect the audio gets with this plugin.

Waves' TrueVerb and Renaissance Reverb sound a little bit rubbish, by which I mean they're not really highly useable. They don't sound super glossy, they sound a bit older, like a Lexicon or something. Occasionally frequencies bounce out that you wouldn't get in an expensive new reverb, and sometimes I really want that. Renaissance Reverb in particular with a very long decay can sound amazing on a piano, very wooden and real.

Imogen says: "It's going through a massive long reverb in TrueVerb, and then volume-ridden and processed and reversed... and probably going through TrueVerb again! I love how you can have this little tiny sound that turns into a monster after a couple of hours of playing."

Used for the vocals on "Big Girls Don't Cry", as stated by mix engineer JJ Puig in this November 2007 Sound on Sound interview. An image of the settings for the first verse can be found here.

Vocals: Digidesign delays, Waves Trueverb, Focusrite D2, Neve 1073, Inward Connection TSL3

“The two channels on the far left are the actual vocal tracks [‘LEAD**], and more to the right you can see that there’s a dedicated vocal channel for each section of the song, so I can create the right feeling from section to section. So the first verse [‘1stversvrb’*], the bit with just the acoustic guitar backing, has its own reverb using a Waves Trueverb, which is great. I’ve rolled off above 1k and left all the low end to make it darker and fuller sounding. I’m a Waves guy, they make the best stuff! The D2 gets rid of any dirt below 111Hz and also adds a bit of high end around 12k.

“The breakdown section has a Digirack Mod Delay II slap delay. There are different ambient feels and different attitudes for different sections. Towards the end, where she’s ad libbing, I put a longer delay on. The delays change for each section of the song, but the main long delay that was essential to how the vocals feel is on the entire vocal, which is why I had it on the main channel. It’s again the Digirack Mod II delay, set to 265.49ms.

The rest of the vocal effects were all done outside [the DAW]. I had a Neve 1073 between Pro Tools and the console, because I really wanted the sound of that Neve. The closer you can get to the original source with your effect, the more you’ll get the effect you want. If I’d stuck the Neve on an insert in the Focusrite, the signal would already have been coloured by the console, and the Neve sound would have been less obvious. I probably added +3dB at 12kHz on the Neve and +2dB at 220Hz. After that the vocals went through an Inward Connection TSL3, which is a great vocal compressor that adds great attack. You can get very aggressive with it, and you won’t hear it. I had about 8dB of compression, which is quite a bit, but as I said, you don’t hear it. It made her vocals more expressive.”
