#StepByStep

  1. Introduction – An introduction to Apple Digital Masters.

  2. Voxengo OldSkoolVerb – Loved this little unit. Very old-school silky sound.

  3. Tal Reverb 2 – Big fan of Tal plugins so wasn’t mad at this little reverb.

  4. Tal Reverb 4 – Even bigger fan of version 4 of their free reverb.

  5. Valhalla SuperMassive – Valhalla is known for reverbs, and lots of producers use their software.

  6. U-He Protoverb – I’m a huge fan of U-He so this one I was interested to test.

  7. MeldaProduction MReverb – This one was a bit clunky to me and I wasn’t a huge fan of the design.

  8. Acon Digital Verberate Basic2 – Simple one-knob style reverb with a few buttons.

  9. Disco DSP Schroeder – This one had a weird tail in the reverb to me.

  10. ChromaDSP Harmonic Reverb – This was a unique reverb and I have never seen anything like this.

  11. K Research KR-Reverb FS – this interface was small and hard to read for a reverb unit.

  12. SocaLabs – MVerb2020 – Was not too mad at this little reverb.

  13. Kushview Roboverb – This one is a unique one with chamber buttoms but is kind of a luck of the draw reverb.

  14. Denis Tihanov – OrilRiver – This reverb gives you a lot of control and is a great free option.
