when you select the verb have you have samples you can hear by using the pointer

What may be perceived as hiss in demo 1 is in my opinion the tail of a long reverberation containing very high frequencies. I hear it too if I use very long reverberations with my unit.

I've found "demo 1" at last - sorry about that. Yes, I *do* hear similar hissing sounds in that demo, especially near the end.  It sounds a bit worse when I play the piano though, because the hiss sounds further removed from the piano sound, which is mellower than the percussion sounds in that demo.

Just a little heads up re: Reflections LE - AFAIK it does not support *true* stereo convolution (which requires *four* channels of convolution), whereas SIR 2 and Pristine Space do.

it's called Reflections LE

I think epicVerb will be more than enough reverb for me for the time being.

i can't afford either of them at the moment, but these two packages seem to have a very good reputation amongst algorithmic (not convolution) reverbs:

Thanks - both sound very nice! After a quick auditon only (without learning how to use either in any depth whatsoever), the first one seems to create more vivid stereo effects, which is something I really like. However, it also seems to produce a slight chorus/flanging effect - something which I'm not hearing in the second one. So, the second one seems more natural.

FWIW one preset where I notice the "hiss" is "L Church 1", and you may well be right. However, it sounds like an artifact to me - it sounds "foreign", and objectionable.  I haven't noticed this in any other reverb plugin to date yet.

Greg.

this is an excellent convolution reverb as someone else has already mentioned

one of it's IRs is a 'piano room'. the piano room is true stereo and should be of particular interest to pianoteq players / recorders.

I guess this is the price to pay for SSE assembly level optimisations.

I still haven't found a VST plugin that does NOT use convolution, but sounds very good.  I'm sure they're out there but I just haven't found one yet.

also, as far as i can tell from the KVR forum, the Ambience guy hasn't been around for a while...

epicVerb sounds *excellent*, except for one little problem: I can hear a bit of hiss. (maybe it's quantisation noise) I'm using headphones which have a reputation for emphasising highs though.

Note that as good as epicVerb is, it still doesn't have what sounds like distinct "echoes", like some reverbs do. (my impulses for the Alesis hardware unit have these subtle echoes, which I really like) That said, I think epicVerb will do nicely.
