With all this flexibility available and with the “rules” of designing a realistic reverb so clearly laid out in the manual, if you want to get creative and design something original or unnatural the with the Oxford Reverb you have the knowledge and the means to create almost anything.I like Aether, Breeze, B2, and Precedence when it comes to reverb. It’s not unlikely that you don’t know what upping the Phase Mod on the reverb tail will do but this manual guides you through the choices involved in designing a realistic reverb clearly and simply. However if you wish to get further into designing your own reverbs the Sonnox Oxford Reverb is ideal as it offers not only powerful access to the reverb algorithm but the best manual I’ve ever read. For the casual user there are of course a wide variety of presets which offer excellent starting points from which the more engaged user can tweak the “top level” of parameters - the more familiar controls such as Reverb Time, ER/Tail Reverb Mix or Size. Sonnox Oxford Reverb is a great example of an algorithmic reverb which offers what feels like unrestricted access to the “engine” of the reverb. If enough flexibility is left in the choice of parameters presented and in the range of control over these parameters have then it follows that you can just as easily make deliberately “bad” choices. Algorithmic reverbs use a limited number of parameters and when set up carefully they can offer really convincing simulations of real acoustic spaces. The majority of Reverb plug-ins seek to present a limited number of choices, a set of parameters which guide the user towards the good choices while steering them away from the bad.
While some of the plug-ins below do indeed share some DNA with generic style reverbs the following provide a handful of unique features and controls you typically don’t find in stock reverbs that are well worth checking out if you are looking for something more distinctive sounding.ĭescribing how each of these reverb plug-ins sounds is near impossible, that’s why we have included a selection of past videos we’ve produced showing how to use these plug-ins to enable you to hear what each creati-verb is capable of. The plug-ins listed below we feel make up this third reverb category we dub creati-verbs. Reverb emulations populate the other category traditionally based on popular reverb notable outboard or mechanical systems such as plates and real reverb rooms such as echo chambers and live rooms, but there is a third often overlooked reverb plug-in category that’s well worth exploring. Most reverb plug-ins, usually stock DAW reverbs, follow a particular format which provide generic halls, churches, plates and room choices.
Generally speaking, there are two main categories that reverb plug-ins fall into.
