When you started moving the source placement on the second tc electronic reverb I gasped, thats sick!

[@newshoesbigblister]

Thanks so much for this! They are each brilliant in their own way, but as I already have a Baby Audio obsession 😂 and have Crystalline, I think at the top of my wants list is Cinematic Rooms. The atmospheres you were able to create with it were fantastic. 🙂👍

[@RolfSchild]

Thanks so much for this Video. Super helpful and informative. My Go to‘s are Valhalla Room and Soundtoys Superplate.

[@henri.lisboa]

Goodnight Dom Sigalas, I'm from Brazil and thanks to your videos about library de choir I bought my Arturia Keylab 61 controller and today I have several libraries to use in my home studio. Thank you very much and keep on helping those who are still learning thanks

[@DomSigalas]

❤️❤️❤️ thank you my friend!

[@DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579]

My go-to reverb is the Relab LX480 Dual Engine V4. As was mentioned, it's easy to mix in. My fave is twin delay into a Random Hall HD. I found a preset and did a few tweaks. Great audio. Plate, Soundtoys little plate that I've had, or super plate that I just got with the bundle.

[@OnceAwakeOfficial]

Thank you so much for making some of the best videos out there! You are amazing!

[@geroldwaefler9485]

I would like to see from you a in depth review about the Cinematic Rooms Pro, TC Electronics 6000, Crystalline and because in your Tutorials i can learn always something new also about the LX480. Thank you so much for all your Videos you made !!

hope you make cinematic rooms review!! always thankyou for your videos!! helps me a lot from korea!

[@Ultimate_Wasabi]

I would like to see Dom do reviews on the Cinematic Rooms Pro and the Relab LX480. I like his reviews since they go into more depth than almost any other reviewer out there.

[@D.Angelopoulos]

Thank you master... I pay my respects for the continuation of the search.!!!

[@AndreasSaag]

Worth mentioning: Tai Chi - best ensemble/chorus reverb. Lots of control with multiband and ducking etc

From the Reverbs expert Dom! 👏🏻🤩👏🏻

[@mblyarsmblyars6480]

Thanks for the video. Its worth checking Sonsig Rev-A as it yields great results. Cinematic Rooms great on orchestral music and percussions.

[@sxdrujandis]

I really like that TC bundle, been checking it out for a while now.

[@mixphantom0101]

Sonsig Rev-A is my favourite algorithmic reverb (ReLab again!). UVI's "Plate" is awesome and is neither algorithmic or IRs, but more like acoustically modelled... maybe worth comparing to Soundtoys new plate - heck, why not all the plates! 😉

[@MattStevens9824]

Thank you for doing this Best of 2023 list! I'm having some GAS listening to the unique treatments they do (especially TCE's) Just curious, among them, who wins the "CPU's Best Friend" award from all the reverbs? They can be pretty resource heavy. 😆

[@jno8039]

My reverb to go is the Softube TSAR-1 for room and modern Both Lexicon 224 and 480L for almost everything

I have pretty much the entire collection of Valhalla plugins. They all do pretty much what I'm looking for.

[@sevchyk]

Vintage verb sucks…Cheap monotonous artificial sound. It’s just the hype…

[@CHIRVA93]

[@mrchrisbeaver]

IK Fame is outstanding, i even use it sparingly on the master buss

[@filiperodriguesmusic]

I love the VerbSuite Classics with Bricasti 7 mode and VSS3 (as external processor with TC Powercore X8) same as included in the TC System 6000.

[@ctatrains]

Just bought Cinematic rooms pro and Interestingly, the ducker pretty much eliminates the need for my Acon Digital Deverberate.

[@EricJohnson-fh8zj]

I've had my eye on Crystalline since it came out. Definitely looks like a true innovation. I think all of baby audios stuff is very cool. Not sure about the new synth, thier FX....yes.

[@dbot]

Their new synth is awesome. It’s filled with classic tones that are all so usable.

[@marconeumannmeditationen]

I have pretty much every Reverb there is but the best one for me is my recent buy: Strymon BigSky (the plugin version of the famous hardware unit was released about 6 months ago). It‘s pricey but worth every cent. ❤

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

Big Sky at $199 is only half the price of Cinematic Rooms Pro. So in price comparison, it's a good deal.

[@marclarcher7908]

Relab Development have released a bunch of very interesting videos on how to use this monster, my 2c

[@Byron101_]

In a full mix with many tracks you don't hear these subtle differences. Ii is surprising that top mixes were created with rather poor digital reverb devices in the 80th´s. So I think that cubase has really great onstock reverbs on board to deliver professionally mixes. great times for us!

[@andreakleiner80]

The subtle move never makes the difference. But the SUM of subtleties makes THE difference indeed.

[@PierluigiCarrozzi]

In fact we do still use the 80’s reverb (or emulations)… 480, Tc, Rmx16… they still sound superior

[@DontFightTheUpgrade]

Sir even the most basic reverb from the 80s and 90s sound better than most plugins plugins beat out hardware for Price convenience recall and the amount of options versus the presets that were on hardware but take Alesis midi verb and put it against your best plugin

[@Viqsit]

Superb ❤

[@naitsavesmusic]

Very interesting picks! I've been using Altiverb and Valhalla for a decade now but I really enjoyed these new ones. Would you say it is worth renewing my reverb arsenal, or those two are enough? I mean, the UI is way better and more intuituve, but what about the sound? Do you think the ones you awarded are sonically better than Altiverb and Valhalla?

[@StereotacticMusic]

What do you have in mind for the 100k? ;) Cool video I didn't know about liquid sonic

[@Alan.Musical.Freak.Show.]

You need to test more Melda Production plugins, there is a monster reverb called MTurboReverb 🙃

[@pyschointellectual]

You shoul try the SSL reverb , it's the cleanest one if heard

[@iammusicp]

I tried the new SuperPlate by Soundtoys yesterday and it sounded phenomenal.

[@shravanacharyaofficial]

Acc to me digital emulation Lexicon style reverb by UAD and Abbey Road Chamber style reverb by Waves is the best also if we're considering simplest form of reverb Space Designer by Logic Pro X is still one of the best reverb to exist.

[@AdrianEarnshawMusic]

Hey Dom, I've always wondered where your microphone is when doing these KZbin videos. Is it on a boom arm above you or somewhere else?

soundtoys new reverb plugin superplate is awesome

[@BassFunMusic]

Mind-blowing! This beat is pure fire! Great job, bro! 🎶🔥

[@gabrielirlanda]

10:42 that is very impressive, can you record those random changes in real time in LogicPro or the only way would be to record it as an audio track with an audio unit? Do you know any good stuff to create those random panel effects? I can't find anything convincing.

Where do I find reverbs and stuff like that on Cubase 12? And where can I find some of the ones you showed on this video?

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

Any reverb recommendations that have ducking?

[@OKvalosound]

Nice compliation! But I was wondering what could we expect more for the future? Technically we are at a point, where every kind of reverb in top quality is already available. Another plate emulation in 2033?

[@CoopMusic247]

I would imagine the next step is modular and morphing reverbs. Modular in that we can add modules on our own, but there are always ones in the presets including delays (taps, standards) (like Epic from CLA/Waves), granular frequency pitch shifting (granular we're already starting to see all over the place), sequenced gating/filters (like ShaperBox), otherworldly stuff like ones that get brighter, panning/width automation LFOs, negative reverbs for automatic reverse reverb into a sound effects (like Mirror from United Plugins), and like I said morphing like NeoVerb. I think we'll also start seeing adaptive reverbs for end listeners soon too. So if you take the song playing device to the kitchen or shower, you'll get less reverb, but take it to your bedroom and you'll get more ambience, then outside and something else.

[@assshakerstudios549]

Review Cinamatic Rooms on all acoustic instruments, real drums, real guitars, bass, acoustic guitars, no samples!!!! Also review TC Electronics, as I've used that and have never gotten close. Please compare with the reverb staples, like Seventh Heaven, Altiverb, Valhalla, age Fabfilter's verbs please and thank you!

Please make a video like this with "BEST Delays for 2023". How are the Cubase-Delays (Multitab etc) and Pluralis from W.A. Production compared to other state of the art delays in 2023? Thanks Dom :-)

[@DomSigalas]

I’ve done a full video on the multi tap delay in Cubase. If you have the time to master it you barely need another plug-in (well, almost, I always like a new delay!)

[@Jeffreyklausener]

I really like to have the vocal stems you use in this post ❤️, they are also in the netflix serie narcos isnt?!

[@jardafrybert8796]

Thanks Dom for the great video. Especially your Breath Layer preset in Glow Reverb got me. I tried it with the built-in reverb in Cubase and the result was not very good. Does Glow have something extra that Roomworks etc don't? Thanks.

[@DomSigalas]

It has the RMX16 sauce. RXM is a grainy reverb especially on that algo that excels at short ambiences like this. If you haven’t already, Try very short settings on the Roomworks with lower quality and increase the brightness. It should give you an approximation :)

[@jardafrybert8796]

@@DomSigalas Thanks, I'll give it a try.

[@jefffpv2759]

i like H-Reverb from waves.

[@bugglebegger143]

arturias plates/springs are phenomenal. but in practice i mostly just use the built in convolution in bitwig for a lot of stuff. i want to get a new general purpose reverb because the built in one is dreadful. i don't actually really like Valhalla Vintage Verb for most stuff. its too lush for me. nimbus and phoenix suck imo, terrible interfaces. i dont want another convolution, I have reverberate and i just want something entirely algorithmic without having to load IRs. I'm almost thinking FabFilter Pro-R... might be a bad take though. the VSS4 sounds PHENOMENAL to my ears. I might have to go with that, need to weigh options.

[@ydaffan]

How would delay compensate negative on a parallel vocal fx channel so the vocals come out natural and phase free?

[@drh713]

I'ma gonna have to sample Dom's drum roll.

Dom. That Lexicon you have. Is that the cheaper Relab LX480 Essentials one that’s selling for $29. Or is that the Full Version? Seems there’s 2 versions

Why has the entire line of TC plug-ins seemingly been abandoned?

[@DomSigalas]

It’s not abandoned, we’re just waiting for the Apple Silicon versions of them. Hope they will be released soon!

[@martinbailey707]

The best sounding reverb is hands down the Lexicon PCM Native (PCM96 direct port) which is 15 years old now and wipes the floor with all other reverbs (as far as sound quality). The Spitfire guys did a blind shootout ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX6TY3qOjcp7fpI ) and it beat hardware like the Bricasti M7. I would take it over the TC 6000 which is in the same price range. Crystalline has a great interface but the actual reverb itself is just a single (very plain/boring) algo with dynamics/filters applied. I would never use it on anything (unfortunately) for that reason. Glow sounds ok, but while it gives that 'RMX 16' sound it really is a cheap knock-off facsimile of the original hardware unit. Personally, I like the Arturia LX24 to get that vintage 80s reverb sound, as the character is much closer to the original hardware (Lex 224) than Glow. I like Arturia SPRING-636 but my choice for springs would be AudioThing Springs which sounds amazing and is way more versatile. Fame sounded ok but, again, all those algorithms are available with Lexicon PCM Bundle (which is extremely CPU light and therefore negates the need for a 'studio reverb'). The reverbs I use (pretty much exclusively) that give me all the variation I need are: Lex PCM bundle, LX24, Springs and FOG convolver 2 for more experimental stuff (where was that category Dom? ;)

[@DomSigalas]

I love the PCM Lexicons. They are top notch. However, they haven’t been updated for ages (correct me if I’m wrong), and I’ve found them to be the culprits for projects not opening or crashing due to an old version of iLok that they implement. Sadly, because of this, I stopped using them. I love the sound but for me stability and recall-ability comes first. And I worry when there’s not an update for a plug-in for over two years with such issues. I like Glow very very much. Initially l, I dismissed it but after playing with it, I fell in love and now I use it constantly. And let’s not forget the all-time-classics: Valhalla. I tried to talk about plugins that are more recent/I haven’t talked about before though :)

[@martinbailey707]

@@DomSigalas PCM is absolutely rock solid on Pro Tools. Don't know about Cubase ;) At the end of the day it's a port from the hardware (which was thoroughly tested before they launched the PCM96). There shouldn't be any need for them to update it. This idea of devs updating their plugins every 5 minutes (because the internet affords them that luxury) doesn't mean that companies that don't are providing outdated software. If anything it says most devs don't bother investing in proper testing before release and make their paying customers the guinea pigs! VST3 is 15 years old and so is the PCM96, you would think they would be bug free and fully functional in the latest release of PCM bundle - 2016 (8 years later). Valhalla is great for the price but it is a poor mans Lex PCM. I have no need to double up on inferior plugins. I have (what I consider) the best of the best to cover all situations. PCM is better than Valhalla (it was in the spitfire shootout). I too liked Glow but it just doesn't have the definition (for want of a better word) as the original, which always put me off. The best way I can describe the sound is the difference between an object and a 3D render of the same object - it's got a kind of plasticky texture and doesn't quite look real (but you can't put your finger on why). That really is the sound of impulse responses in general for me. Thinking about it another comparison would be the difference between a guitar amp and an amp sim (nearly, but not quite and when you hear the real thing... not at all). It's fine for sound design (80s mock-ups etc) but not on a commercial release imo.

[@lazul6611]

@@martinbailey707 I've owned the PCM plugs since they were released. Sadly, you are incorrect. They need to be updated, especially on a Mac for m1 compatibility. And Cubase 12 got rid of 32 bit plugins so you can't even load them in Cubase period. Sadly, looks like abandonware.
