Who doesn't like #reverb on their tracks? I sure do. But what has frustrated me for the past 2 years of using #BitwigStudio is that the stock reverb device has felt not as smooth and silky, or easy to manipulate as I'd like. The Lexicon 224 sound is something to strive for, and those clever engineers found a way to make an incredible sound with not amazing spec digital audio (12-bit with a max frequency of 10,400Hz).

I think the secret sauce is the selective bands and delay times where you can have the the reverb swell into brightness or dwell into darkness with some simple tone controls.

I have found that if you stack two Bitwig Reverb devices in an FX-3 Multiband Device on the Low and Mid bands that you can get a really sweet sound. Here is my example with some Airwindows to round it out.


Just looked at a very nice #reverb by #SonicAcademy called #Vela. It has some pretty unique features, I'm not so sure it can emulate classic reverbs adequately though (at least according to their quiz I got a 78% in favor of the Bricasti M7, Lexicon 480L, VSS3 and Strymon Big Sky).

Not a go to reverb for me, but the price is more than reasonable and it sounds great. You can also check it out at sonicacademy.com/products/vela #audio
