Their Valhalla Plate, Room and VintageVerb happily sit in the collections of many top producers/engineers, often overshadowing reverbs that cost many times more. Over the last few years, Valhalla DSP have built up a solid reputation for designing high- quality plug-ins that are intuitive to use and sound seriously impressive. While entire books could be written about reverb, we have taken the liberty to spare you the science and curate some options that sound great and won’t force you to sell a kidney… With that in mind, here are some great reverbs all of which offer something a little bit different in terms of sound, function and platform. Sure, clarity and transparency are important – no one wants an indistinct, veiled, muggy reverb – but sounding distinctive is more important than sounding 100% acoustically accurate. We need our reverbs to give colour and character, and be able to create unique and diverse soundscapes. There may be times when you want to capture a stunningly accurate acoustic space, and need something like a Bricasti M7 (£3,700) to do that – realistic acoustic spaces cost serious cash! However, we are making electronic music, not recording a harp quartet, so our needs are somewhat different. Without this fundamental tool, mixes would sound flat, unnatural and lifeless. Reverb also creates a front-to-back depth within the mix, and strengthens and supports certain elements such as lead vocals. Reverb is arguably the most common effect used in music production, and has been a fundamental mixing tool used by producers since the dawn of recording history.įashions in reverb may change over time, but virtually all mixes require reverb to create a convincing Illusion of space for the music to occupy. Our resident studio hound Chris Lyth picks six of the best reverbs for limited budgets
