Has anyone experimented with the new versions of LiquidSonics reverbs?

I also have Reverberate 3 and I like it very much. Reverberate 2 was pretty good, but I agree with Key Fumbler that v3 is way better.

Could you post an example or two of using Reverberate 3 with Pianoteq, when you get a chance?

As it happens, I'm working on something at the moment, so I've just done a very quick demo (in Shared Files). I kept the Pianoteq reverb on, because to me it seems to work better that way. The only other processing I used was Waves J37 Tape on a very subtle setting.
(edit) the descriptive text seems to have been cut off there - it should say 'Steinway B Player with Reverberate 3 FS24 Dark Chamber'

Many thanks! Interesting sound. You created this with the default Dark Chamber preset, with the  Pianoteq reverb also left with its default settings? (I'm not sure that I hear the effect of the tape effect, but the sound is good, to my ears. I'm not sure that I liked the final bass note, which I hear as lacking definition--the reflections create more a of a buzz. But the rest of the clip is lively.

..The only one I would probably not recommend is Seventh Heaven Standard, not because it's not good, but because all the Fusion-IRs it uses are also included in Reverberate 3, but Reverberate 3 has sooooo many additional possibilities as well.

I also own R4 (currently owned by iZotope, but originally coded by Michael Carnes at Exponential Audio). R4 is also great, as are ALL of Michael's reverbs, IMO, and $10 is a no-brainer for it. Except for possibly one thing: I personally think it remains to be seen what iZotope is going to do with the Exponential reverbs. They're using some of the algorithms in their own Neoverb, but it's unclear to me if they're going to continue updating R2, R4, Nimbus, etc. moving forward, or if they're just using the algorithms in their own new 'verbs from here on out. Ever since iZotope started pushing their subscription plan, I've grown increasingly nervous about the future.

At any rate, $10 for R2, R4, Nimbus, or PhoenixVerb is an absolute steal.
As is anything from Valhalla.

But the LiquidSonics 'verbs have become my #1 over the past year.

Hope this helps - happy to answer more if needed.

It's worth noting that you only get one iLok computer activation with R4: crummy!

Valhalla DSP  are excellent, and no iLok which a lot of people don't like.

Agree on Seventh Heaven - Reverberate 3 rendered it pointless to me. Unless all someone ever wanted is the Bricasti and nothing else.

Reverberate 3's updated faster response and adjustability make buying those Bricasti M7 IRs a second time in the Seventh Heaven plugins somewhat redundant.

Regarding iZotope Michael Carnes retired. I don't see iZotope doing anything with those plugins given those (near giveaway) Plugin Boutique prices.
Perhaps a compatibility update if something catastrophic happens in an operating system update.
They never do those massive discounts on the surround sound versions. Maybe they will if a sophisticated  Neoverb Surround appears?

I'm not interested in iZotope, beyond the few freebies. Subscription - no thanks.
