From 4:00 on you left the width at 15, so basically you've been presenting a mono reverb.

Yes exactly I was like WTF!!!!! PLSSSSSSSSSSS increase the width!!!!!!!!!

[@QrchackOfficial]

Really interesting! I love how they made it simple enough to actually play around with. Thanks for showing the more extreme settings so we got to listen what the possibilities are. Wasn't too keen on Sonible stuff with the EQs and compressors, but I might give it a try

[@JimGramze]

Got this soon as it was released and my initial impression is that I love it. What I have done so far with both snare and vocal was to first let the AI do its thing and then I move the 4-way puck about half way up and to the left, then I adjust the wet setting to about 35% with the dry 100%. What is most striking for me is adjusting the color slowly all the way up and down and it moves the perceived depth of the sound from far away to very close. Uncanny. I am reverb challenged, using and tweaking presets, but this gives me a sense of very good control using only the AI, four-way puck, reverb time, and wet-dry mix. I am rarely this pleased with a plugin.

[@iainmackenzieUK]

Thanks for the tip. Encouraged; I will take a look at it. Cheers

[@macstar95]

Ill check this out. I am also reverb challenged and just mostly avoid it when possible lol.

[@GustafWestin]

Love that you and Warren released a video about this plugin on the same evening CEST

[@LMCRecords]

this verb is now a secret weapon on most of my vocals its really very good at bvoxs making them just crazy but what it excels at is foley and sound design in fact nothing else out there works as well as this

[@lisandropagan6943]

GREAT preview and cool rev!!! THANK Q

[@muzk8887]

sounds incredible on vocals. im going to buy it and use it on my own singing. sonible, pay him.

[@onzkicg]

How was it?

[@LeeAudioAddictz]

Looking forward to trying this out... Looks awesome

[@Maitch3000]

So is the next video called "How to style your hair using vintage compressors"?

[@bankof442]

I haven't tried it as a reverb in the mix yet, but made some creative, cool sounding short reverb trails from the snare that wouldn't have been possible without bouncing down and adding more processing. The scope for the creating interesting sounds in a short time is immense and I don't think there is another reverb like it on the market. I'm sure it would help get your standard reverb sitting better in the mix as well.

[@OriginalNightStalker]

It's now 3 years later and the two points about this video that struck me are these: 1. You left the Width on 15 after the first 4 minutes or so, in effect leaving it almost mono. But it still sounds good. 2. I suspect this would be more useful on a track-by-track basis, rather than on a send-return Aux loop. If it is adapting to its input, then having multiple sends with different types of audio and at different levels, may make for a messy reverb overall. But having it on multiple different tracks, with each setting its own AI parameters could also result in a mish-mash of reverb in the mix. Hard to know the best place for it in the grand scheme of things. I love Sonible's stuff, and I have their Smart EQ, Compressor, and Limiter, but I'm not so sure about this one, or where it would sit in a mix.

[@JamesRamboPearce]

It looks ace, a lot more visual and easily versatile! It'll be on my list!

[@misterxeric]

Can be really useful for sound design and production that needs that extra touch of weird processing

[@mrnelsonius5631]

The core reverb algorithm sounds really wonderful on this. A bit surprised how good to be honest. I use the Valhalla stuff A LOT, but could see a lot of uses for this flavor. The visualizations for controls are nice too, especially for someone used to doing sound design in soft synths with similar layouts. Main problem is...I already have way more reverbs than I use ;)

[@MacReviewzOnline]

Valhalla is for DJ noobs nodding to Ableton Live...not a thing!

[@nthurston9049]

Sonible always makes great things.

[@liamhebden8857]

Music is love forever... get shocked... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

[@muzk8887]

the thing is like about this plug in is that the spectral comb filtering thins out the reverb tail and gets it out of the way without losing 3d image. also, there's a part with the decay which confused you, just think of it as multiband decay.

[@dykodesigns]

Seems like a complex yet powerfull plugin. I think it's best suited to sound design.

[@Drfresh1402]

Reverbs are really all I’m interested in when comes to new plugins.

[@mixphantom0101]

I have all the Sonible plugins... they are great out of the box but once you "learn" them they are outstanding. Three thumbs up!!!

Actually this looks like a very promising reverb. I do a lot of sound design work an this looks to be like a great tool. Currently I use MarSpeaks for my creative reverb but this may be in my library very soon!!!!

[@arirahimzadeh]

even on my macbook pro speakers I hear that this reverb is the best sounding on this Planet ;)

[@Beatsbasteln]

wtf, that's a really cool way to approach reverb. especially with that decay-pad. like that's literally all i ever care for, which frequencies fade in and out at which point of the reverb. great.. maybe this is another plugin that keeps me from finally saving money

[@biekanez1]

Gave review Wytse, ga hem uitproberen 👊👍😎

[@famitory]

i can think of some non-sound-design uses for this. putting a cut in reverb decay for the fundamental of a snare to keep it punchy, making faux-sidechain effects with the ramp decay, ect.

[@CalvinLimuel]

you know it's a really great plugin when Wytse giggles so much

[@benjaminmagambo3849]

I love the song

[@iainmackenzieUK]

So; how does this compare with Fabfilter Pro R? You are right, I tend to fumble through the presets until I find one close to what I like and then adjust to taste. There are a lot of features I did not dig into yet and, to be honest, this video encourages me to do that more with ProR before diving into a new reverb plugin... But very interested to know your thoughts on/ comparison with Pro R. Thanks for the vids

[@ArvidOlson]

I like it! Gonna probably get it sometime when I have more money lol

[@alexandrosroussos]

thx for the video, any chance you could review the Hornet MasterTool ?

[@OzricTentaclesRule]

I bet once ya get used to what all that visual feedback is and how it relates to the sound movement you would be way ahead with this thing.... its a cool way to approach it potentially... still going to be hard to get me off my go tooz... great vid... glad your not too shocked by your recent dive into the world of electricity...cheers !!

[@chrise13]

The beginning of this gave me a good chuckle. LOLz

[@K03nS]

Goeie video weer. Kan je in volgende reviews misschien ook aangeven hoe CPU heavy die plugins zijn? Entropy:EQ+ van Sonible heeft bijvoorbeeld ook veel rekenkracht nodig (meer dan ik denk dat noodzakelijk is, of het ding is niet geoptimaliseerd voor FL). Zijn voor mij toch wel een beetje make or break dingetjes (en ja ik heb een nieuwe pc nodig :P )

IS THis like a graphic eq but for reverb,where the frequencies are broken down beyond the generic 3 and can be individually tweaked?

[@AMB666]

10:14 Why is this the most replayed part of the video lol? That's weird!!!

[@holonmundi5320]

What about the sound quality as a reverb? I love spectral processing and funky FX but I'm also looking for a natural sounding reverb.

[@mrnelsonius5631]

This probably isn’t the most natural sounding verb by design. All those parameters are laid out like a soft synth. This is def a sound design oriented reverb. Even though you could probably get natural room type results from it, it’s not what makes it interesting IMO

[@albertorobinson7611]

Pretty good dude

[@brenmac]

Wow!

[@gulagwarlord]

It looks like it is applying different reverb times to different times withing the sample. So essentially the beginning of a word/phrase at 2k could have a different reverb length than the end of the same phrase @ 2k . Trippy stuff.

[@amaan6999]

I guess we could just use a multiband compressor and pick the frequencies we want different reverbs on instead. That should do the same thing

[@jocke1972]

Amaan Sadruddin that wouldn’t take the time domain into account. You would need something like UA triad with different reverbs and timings on different frequency bands.

[@amaan6999]

@@jocke1972 Couldn't we change the reverb time on preferred frequencies on the multiband? Lengthy process, but still , the effect would be the same right?

[@nathanielcade947]

multi tap reverb ?

[@roopam6153]

It's cool

[@PureOnly]

Does it strech the reverb or idk But sounds good

[@Funkspace]

Samulululuu it looks like the reverb is split into discreet bands feeding a frequency dependent granular engine. That’s really clever. So rather than each grain containing a complete segment of audio, you have many times more grains and each grain has a slither of audio within a band of the audio spectrum. This means you automate each grain differently based on the frequency band a grain is servicing. That’s why you have to have user variable grid display to give you easy control of ‘frequency banded’ audio grains over time. I hope I explained that clearly enough. I

[@Wh1teland]

Before watching this I had dowloaded the demo. Does it sound good - yes! Does it have its own sound - also yes. Will I invest my time and 💲in it - probably not. Sticking to my old guns foe now.

idk, whenever i try or use sonible plugins (got entropy eq and frei raum as freebies some time ago) in FL i always need to use the vst3 version and enable some debug settings to avoid the plugin crash the whole session really bad. On top of that i can't recall session settings of entropy eq. So yeah whenever i see an ew sonible plugin i say to myself "yeah that's very cool" but in the end i would never purchase one cause on my system they are very instable. Dunno if i'm the only one that has this behaviour

[@Motekk67]

Hey you can write them your problem, maybe they can help you... i have the smart eq2 and the smart comp and like them very much... i use FL too and with the smart eq2 had a lot of problems... it was like the track on wich the eq was had a delay or extreme latency and was out of sync... i wrote them and they answered... on the plug in settings there is a processing tab and then i should click on fixed buffer size... since then no problems anymore
