Again my opinion and it is perhaps not fair to compare them as they may have a different job to perform in your mix. I like the Valhallas, Aether and B2 verbs as well but none of them have the quality, depth or size of the above. The new Revelation reverb in Cubase 7.5 is surprisingly good for being only a part of a 49 euro upgrade. It is not so flexible as the Lexicon based reverbs. Others - EMT 140 is a different sounding reverb to all of the above (as you would expect) with smooth but much more audible tails. I have never tried the Altiverb (I am a Windows user) but I can see that it has far more sounds available to it than OWS. You can tell a lot of love went into it and as a result there is a lot to tweak. Like all room reverbs, it sounds great on its own but overdo it in a mix and you have a classic boxy middy sound that overwhelms and dominates within a mix leaving no room for anything else. This is a one trick pony and the two rooms available in it are, in my opinion, not the best available in convolution reverb terms. Small Hall A is an amazing sound on vocals, guitars, strings and anything non percussive. Lexicon 224 - I already own this and love it. Very tempted to buy it from where it is advertised at a good price. But it does produce some fantastic sounding reverbs in the same vein. from Hall to Plate) if you change your mind. For that, I think A/B'ing them with identical IRs is the best way to figure that out. Right, but I think the OP probably wants to know which plug sounds/performs the best. It is also a pain to have to load a different reverb (e.g. Altiverb did the job first and keeps relentlessly going creating brilliant IRs free for all purposes. And again, Samplicity has created a very complete, accurate and excellently sounding set of impulse responses, all in True Stereo and in Mono-to-Stereo. Downsides of the Lexicon over the Exponential is that it is more expensive and does not do surround. Samplicity has created a new Impulse Response Library, using the immensely popular and highly acclaimed Bricasti M7 reverb unit. Lexicon PCM - you can hear the similarities between this and Exponential all the way through possibly due to Michael Carnes' input into both. I am going to take advantage of Michael's sale which ends on the 21st Dec and buy it. I love adjusting the level of the early reflection and tail to get the vocal sitting just right. Underneath it are some fantastic smooth tails which disappear into a mix whilst adding size and depth to a sound. Phoenix Surround - don't let the rather amateur interface put you off. No matter which one you use it does not take long to find a setting that sounds great. My thoughts are all are extremely usable and I find it hard to choose a favourite. I have been doing a comparison between Exponential Phoenix Surround, Lexicon PCM Native reverbs and the UAD Lexicon 224. The Bricasti M7 Impulse Response Library includes IRs of all current 134 M7. A modern high resolution digital design, utilizing a stunning array of the latest DSP processors, provides a platform for the long overdue next step in reverb processing algorithms. If you have Ableton, then you can get the Convolution reverb plug-in for Max (someone recommended) for free and then download impulses online. They will sound the most natural I’d think. ^ "What is convolution reverb and how is it created?". The Bricasti Design Model 7 provides the highest level of musicality and ease of control imaginable in a processor dedicated to the task of reverberation. Altiverb is what I was going to recommend because I think convolution reverbs are probably going to be the best you can do.
