I’ve been using mpReverb all the time lately. It sounds good, and appears to be low on CPU. To be honest, for whatever reason i’ve not really checked out the plain old ‘Reverb’ DSP; just saw ‘mpReverb,’ loaded it instead, and proceeded to use it ‘all the time.’ The only VST reverb i’ve been using is ‘poor plate.’
A lot of the VST reverbs seem to be; moderately to extremely heavy on CPU usage.
I´ve also noticed a slight metal sound with the Renoise reverb, but I don´t know about the noise tail part… Could be that my ears are still “poisened” from the bad effects of my previous DAW… Now there was some really nice noice tails, hehe.
Definitely not! Even though it does have a rather lo-fi sound, it’s still very useful. There have been many times where I want that sound, and deliberately use it instead of mpReverb or other plugins. Not to mention that I often perform extra filtering to the reverb sound, and process it so heavily that its lo-fi quality doesn’t even matter anymore.
@Everyone else… You should keep in mind how complex and notoriously difficult it can be to create a good reverb. People/Companies can often spend many months - or even years - perfecting their proprietary algorithms, in order to get them sounding as natural as possible. When considering the size of the Renoise development team and the scale of the project itself (ie. a small amount of people doing a huge amount of work), I don’t think we can really expect to see native effects that can fully compete with other standalone products. If you need more specialised effects, then there’s an entire market of commercial VST/AU products out there that you can choose from, all of which should work just fine in Renoise.
I use both. Mostly mpReverb for clean reverbs: pads, synthalike sound and whatnot. But the Reverb is useful mainly to throw on a drumish sound for example… Just came home from school, I’m not making a lot of sense… pfioe
only use the mpreverb out of Renoise next to good (free)wares, has a useful sound + most importantly, a low hit on cpu. I wouldn’t mind if the the ‘standard’ reverb would get deprecated and we got a lusher sounding verb in return, not a big deal.
I was also not only talking about the Reverb, but also about mpReverb. What I mean is that the tail is kind of noise, don’t know how to better describe that
It is not a big deal, I was just saying that a more clean reverb would be nice so we could use that in a more standard way (as an effect while mixing, not for sound design only).
i like “Ambience” a lot: Ambience on kvr (donationware),
though it’s quite heavy on the cpu. i think it’s more suitable for send tracks or even the master track.
I just read this thread again, and I think what could solve all the reverb needs is to add an impulse respone device in Renoise.
With this, fancy reverbs can easily be created by loading the appropriate impulse response. Also, one could use it for emulating EQs and a lot of other things.
So two algorithmic reverbs for low-CPU slightly metallic reverb and an impulse response device for CPU-hungry realistic reverb.
dont remove reverb! why even think that! whats wrong with you? lol.
But for linux users, pls try the TAL reverbs ported for linux, even 64bit.
Oooooh theyr’e cool. record the never ending tails and paste them into instruments and make some angelic choir pads.
The TAL ports don’t save their settings for me. I have to set them up every time I load a song that uses them… … so I am the only one with this problem?
