Does a good software reverb exist? I'm running Cubase SX (1.05) on a Mac. Any got VST reverb, or is it a total waste of money?

adachris, I have your solution, I am also using Cubase. All you need to do is pull up your " Send Effects" screen. What you need to do is blend 2 reverb plugin's together. Cubase comes with 2 reverb plugins but they suck by themselves (Reverb A, and Reverb B). Open a slot on your " Send Effects" screen for Reverb A, then another for Reverb B. I usually set Reverb A on SMALL, and Reverb B on AMBIENCE. Also on the "Send Effects" screen set the master level of Reverb B lower than Reverb A master level. Then just enable all your tracks to recieve the Reverb Send Effects. It gives you a more natural reverb. Wha la!! jon website: www.kunari.com

If there are decent outboard reverbs, then there is decent software. There's really no difference when you think about it.
The only difference is between the above and a real room or at least a real plate/spring.

Try Altiverb $495 http://www.audioease.com You can use it with all DAWs that support plug-ins as it comes with VST, AU, MAS, and RTAS support. This puppy really rocks, but is of course eats your processor for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Beautiful reverbs!

Yes, Altiverb Hurray!
There used to be some problems running Altiverb in Cubase (Some things you did lead to immediate crashes). But with the updated version I have experienced none of those anymore. The sound is excellent...

I use True Verb from Waves. It is easy to customize and save your presets.

I dislike the Digirack Reverb too. Not just cold, but artificial sounding. But now I am having a great time with Space Designer in my new Logic Pro! Also, everyone says space designer is a CPU hog, but it seems I can run just as many space designers, if not more (without freezing), than I could Digirack Reverbs in Pro TOols before it would say "Not enough processing power to send audio to USB" or whatever. The Digi Reverb was (I mean is) a hog, as well as a cold shoulder it seems. In the last month I have gone back to Pro TOols only to transfer old unfinished projects into Logic. Space designer sounds awesome IMHO - and I want to learn how to make my own impulse responses - there are a lot of neat spaces around the Brown campus
