That said, I don’t regret the money.I have a question concerning reverbs in orchestal (sampled) music. I paid a total of $180 for the two, and you can do better than that with some patience and a little risk buying secondhand. You can pick them up cheap on KVR with a little risk (I’ll be selling mine, but prob to someone I know - I have 2 more licenses from an izotope bundle).Īnd, once again, the Exponential guy, Michael Carnes, developed the Lexicon software before founding his own company. In fact the default preset is a Lex hall called “famous hall”.

R4 is the companion - more lush (but not syrupy like seventh heaven), can modulate the early reflections and the tail, gated, etc. Nimbus is very clean and can be very realistic, but you can dirty it up a bit with Warp (it also comes with all Phoenixverb presets and tons of others). Nimbus and R4 are my favorite reverbs (along with Sonsig-A). Mind you it isn't reverb, but sound design tool that seems to be based around delays, reverbs, lfos and filters.) (Might want to demo Excalibur as well, a steal at $10. Just remember its iLok, and you only get one license. One at a time I'm assuming.Īnyway I'd demo Phoenixverb to see what you think.

That said, seeing that Plugin Boutique had PhoenixVerb for $10 last week, have Exaclibur for $10 this week, I'm going to assume that Nimbus and or R2 will have some crazy sale too over the next few weeks too. If they bought their algorithms it's for a very good reason. Even thought they've become aggressive with their sales lately Izotope are super smart developers. (Not to mention it sounds great.) The other thing I'll add is that Izotope bought them out for a reason.

It's really great at creating a sense of depth. I, like many love Valhalla, to my ears it sounds as good and in some ways better. I bought PhoenixVerb last week and it's really good.
