I grabbed black hole on discount a few months back, and if you're into experimental sound and adventurous pursuits... It will be one of the greatest things you'll ever EVER add to your collection. The amount of distraction I've experienced just mucking around and playing with it alone was worth every penny. And the sound you can get out of it is just amazing.

Great demo of some very nice reverb plug-ins. I myself have recently gotten several Melda plug-ins, among those was the basic bundle of 37 various effects. It's free, and after I sampled it for a bit, decided to upgrade the whole thing for $52. I call them basic, but that's only compared to their other effects levels, like the multiband versions of reverb, delay, distortion, saturation. There's a whole lot of settings to edit and truly create your own sounds. I didn't get the top Turbo editions just yet. I'm not attempting to compare these in the video with Melda, it just happens that was the brand I chose. And if I hadn't, I'd be buying something like the Cinematic Rooms or Blackhole.

I wanted to hear how the Big Sky and Blackhole hold up against those others. Not bad. Valhalla Rooms sounds pretty good but sort of ”generic”. My own favorite reverb VST, and purely for its sound, is Raum. My favorite pedals are my RV500, X-Space, and Specular Tempus. I tried the Blackhole pedal this past holiday season and loved it, makes me want to get the Space pedal or perhaps just get the whole H9 suite of effects as VSTs for $200 when on sale. Or both, lol

Some of the TC Electronic reverbs are amazing too. The problem is there are many good reverbs that have kind of specific strengths. But I can't argue with your list at all; these are great. The shimmer made me think: I wonder if you could use a narrow eq on some material and then pitch-shift that up a couple or three octaves and then maybe eq that to get a different kind of shimmer.... Probably not, but I'm going to try that and see if there's anything there. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment! What TC Electronic reverbs do you recommend?
@briancase6180 Жыл бұрын
@@ComposerDanielWillett I really like the TC 8210. It's not terribly versatile, but it does s couple things exceptionally well. Also the VSS4 and VSS3 (I think the 4 is just a more updated version of 3). These allow some fine control over the placement of the image and other can-be-important tweaks. They are just SW versions of the old hardware units (which I think were always digital anyway), so they are retro in that sense, but they also have a familiar sound, I think. Everything old is new again, as the saying goes, but there's nothing wrong with that. 🤓 You can also get all their delays and early reflection generators as well as the MD4, which is my go-to for "magic dust." It's a multi-band compressor, eq, and limiter. I use one of the presets and just don't touch it in my master chain before final saturation and my final choice of limiter (which is elevate these days). It just does that certain something and it's impossibly transparent. Check it out if you haven't; it's a secret weapon, in my opinion. And, if you wait until they have their sale--which I believe is in early summer--you can get the whole shebang (mastering tools, reverbs, compressor, eq, etc) for $695 I believe (compared to around $2k regular price). It's a bit of money, but there are several tools that are well worth the price. I would pay full price for MD4 without hesitation now that I know what it can do. I should add that black hole at $29 is a great bargain. Just buy it, you'll use it.

Thanks for the review, I love reverbs. One thing about the seventh haven and classic instruments music at 6:53 It was flute, harp, violins that play a high note and some cellos. The presence of the reverb is too high. The instruments presence is getting lost. If t was full orchestra you would have a mess. Less presence of the reverb both on the flute an cello would do much better justice with the instruments, even if this music is for dreamy stuff. Still, is sounds wonderful reverb.

Thanks for the video. I have a question if you could give me your opinion, why so much Melodyne on vocals? I understand not every singer is good enough, but it seems to me that this became a norm, almost everywhere in the world. I personally did it before mostly because I was lazy to record people for a long period of time and then spend hours to choose the best takes after, but then sometimes it was a must as the customer thinks his or her singing is good while it was a disaster actually. But most of the time Melodyne is not needed, and the worst part of it is that it destroys more than it fixes most of the time. It gets funny when people argue about which plugin is better on vocals while using those destroyed melodynized takes. :)
@ComposerDanielWillett Жыл бұрын

LUNAR LANDER from Pulsar Modular is missing when you're talking about the best ones ever made. There are some very good plugins in your list already but it's not complete without LL. 😊 Personally I use and like Cinematic Room. It's good for pre-echoes although sometimes too comb-filtery sounding. Room is good also. 7th Heaven sounds incredibly stiff and dead. I demoed it and was so disappointed. Most plugins don't respect body, transients and original audio width enough and often the tails are super boring and repetetive. Also widening the audio often sounds too fake. Lunar Lander will highly surprise you. 🎉
