Demo of Seventh Heaven Reverb

[rick-slo]

Downloaded demo of LiquidSonics Seventh Heaven Reverb (good for 14 days) and you need an ILok dongle.
First impressions:
Clean reverb with smooth late reflection tails.
Early reflections so so - do not add much body to the notes.
CPU usage fairly low for a reverb.
If I were to buy it I would go for the Professional version for the added
flexibility.

Below is a recording I did a while back.

Raw:

With added reverb:

and below the reverb settings I used:

Downloaded the professional version of Seventh Heaven.
Added a different reverb to same raw recording (also adjusted R and L volume levels)

Interesting, this is a software emulation of a digital-circuit simulation of an analog device that mimics an environment's reverberation.

Huh wow ya lost me with the "simulation of an analog device ? , and I even own one

Sounds pretty good thanks for posting this

An app sounds like
a reverb pedal which sounds like
a spring reverb which sounds like
a big room

Who cares how they get the results as long as the results are good? - and they are with this reverb.
If you have some recordings you have made that you especially like the sound of then start a thread, post a clip of them and tell us how you got there.

That last recording sounds really, really good Rick.

Oh I thought you were just quipping a joke so I was playing along.

Actually the app is modeling some of the Bricasti digital algorithms, which are modeled on the analog responses from actual spaces, chambers and plates. There are no "pedals" or "spring reverbs "involved"

To clarify the Bricasti M7 is a digital processing hardware device.

The Seventh Heaven App has Liquid Sonics modeling, of these Bricasti pre sets. (Note the Pro version of the app Rick is talking about) has over 200 Bricasti presets and if the sound quality of either is anything close the actual M7, then this plugin app will be a powerful tool for the home recordist

For me, any reverb is a good reverb if I can dial it in quickly. I've found some allow for that a lot more than others. I have no experience with the 7th Heaven reverb but if it works for you like that, it's a winner.

I've been on a quest to add more reverb choices to my pallet. I bought the Eventide UltraReverb last week when it was on sale for $47 and I find it's the easiest I've ever used to dial in, and sounds very lush.

Thanks Kev. LiquidSonics has two free expansion packs (each pack a few gigs in size) giving many more presets.

The most complicated reverb I have used in terms of the parameters you can tweak is Aether. As far a simplifying things you can use one of the may presets these reverbs come with (just adjusting wet/dry ratios) or tweak up some settings you really like the results of and create your own preset of it to be ready to use in future sessions.

One thing I will say about the Bricasti presets they are very usble with little to no tweaking required to get a very believable sound

For example for my vocal I almost always use the "Sunset Chamber" preset and the only user adjustment I do is 60 ms of Predelay, to let more of the initial transient attack and air thru prior to processing

I don't know how enlightening this is, but I grabbed your raw track and added reverb with the real Bricasti, same patch. I tried to match your settings, but the levels not really something I can accurately match, and a few of the parameters are a bit different on the hardware box (The hardware has more, but they don't seem to completely line up with you screen). Anyway, here's the first few seconds:

In your clip the first few seconds play and then there is loud static.

Took first few second of your clip, normalized it, and combined it with the first few seconds of my first clip (normalized).

No doubt some reverb parameters were a little different. Maybe we can do another experiment on another raw recording and try to match the reverb setting more closely.
