Anyway, between those two reverbs there’s almost endless possibilities if you know how to tweak them! Playing with the presets and adjusting those to taste can be helpful in a creative tough spot too. I demoed & reviewed the Bricasti and use Altiverb a lot. Every month Altiverb 7 users receive new impulse responses for free. We are blessed with an embarrassment of riches in the field of stereo reverb in 2020. Now many people seriously ask themselves whether they need to invest in 19-inch rack units at all. As we all should know, a lot of what we do in audio engineering is based on context and the specific given situation, so the “right” or “correct” moves/decisions truly depends on what is called for in each and every particular session that we are working on. Altiverb 7 is efficient on the cpu, offers many parameters to tweak the reverb, it is total recall automatable, and it has 64 bit support. We software developers went from being laughed out of the room at the suggestion a native reverb could compete with even mid-range hardware. Pro R for me usually shines on the room sounds but ofcourse there are always times when Valhalla ends up winning there too and vice versa. Altiverb 7 is not cheap, but all these additions and advantages are pretty priceless at some level. I like the Valhalla for the Plate style reverbs, and Halls too. The Bricasti has an old 2002 vintage AD1955 hybrid chip, (not discrete) part delta sigma part multibit, designed for sacd primarily in the day. Vintage Verb and Pro R have been the two consistent winners for me in those showdowns. MSB is all discrete R2R ladder dacs, perfect for doing PCM, RedBook 16/44, 24/96 or DXD. Typically before deciding on which ones I’m using for what, I’ll experiment with 3 or 4 various Reverbs until something sonically special or best suited to the situation jumps out at me. Hey Mike! Lately I’ve been using both Valhalla Vintage Verb (very versatile) and Fabfilter Pro R.
