I have been pretty unimpressed with reverb plugins..(with the
exception of Sonitus......but it still doesn't seem to have everything
I want)
Can anyone recommend a $400 hardware reverb unit that has very
natural sounding reverbs? If spending $400 on a hardware unit will
only improve my reverbs by a small amount I guess I need to save for a
higher end one.
What is everyone's thoughts on this?
Thanks TRavis

I know this doesn't answer your question but have you tried Timeworks' 4080L
and the newer ReverbX DirectX plug-in's? They are pretty awesome, especially
the newer one (ReverbX). I have also heard a lot of good things about Waves'
TruVerb but as I like the Timeworks stuff so much I haven't used it very
much.

Can't help you with the hardware, I do it all in software myself. The only
hardware reverb I use is for the headphone mix so the vocals don't sound so
dead while recording, and those units are inexpensive Alesis and ART units.

A used Sony R7. Often prefered over a Lexicon 480 on vocals, it can
sound natural and smooth where one might consider the expensive 480 a bit
artificial and grainy.

I have a Lexicon Core 32 ..with the PC 90 daughtercard..2 PCM 90 style verbs on
a PCI card...you can run it on an old PC with analog in/outs. Selling it cheap.

Yes I certainly agree, highly underrated.

I will probably be selling one in about two weeks, I found another one
in better physical shape, but it had to go back to have a new battery
installed.

The one I want to sell is not that rough, but the LCD could stand to
be replaced (it's bright enough, but "bleeds" a bit after it's been on
a few hours). Ironically the battery in this one (my old one) is fine,
a full 2.9 volts, the new one I got was dead as s doornail.

I'll post it here for sale prior to listing it on Fleabay, as I know
many people here appreciate the R7.
