![]() Spring models the lumpier dual-mono sounds of multi-spring studio reverbs very effectively, while Plate emulates the considerably smoother mechanical studio devices of yesteryear, and does so far more convincingly than the other native reverb plug-ins I compared it with, other than the very much more expensive Waves Renaissance Reverb. ![]() Arena is a huge hemispherical dome with lots of early reflections but far fewer obvious late reflections due to the lack of hard surfaces, while Cathedral provides the very smooth decay of a huge angular space with lots of hard reflections. Hall is one of the most complex algorithms, simulating a multi-sloped environment, but like all the others I found it to have a very smooth and non-metallic tail. Club is a 'multi-room' with a small stage attached to one end of a larger theatre or club space. Room mimics small rectangular spaces, while Chamber has a slightly more complex dual-sloped ceiling to provide a richer set of reflections. A small icon is displayed for the current choice, which helps greatly in understanding the shapes or technologies being simulated.Īmbience provides a short burst of early reflections ideal for livening up drum sounds and the like without adding obvious reverberation, which can be difficult to create with reverb plug-ins that use a single generalised algorithm. ![]() The clever part is that each of the nine algorithms - Ambience, Room, Chamber, Club, Hall, Arena, Cathedral, Spring and Plate - has its own virtual acoustic construction, complete with different source and 'mic' positions, giving each one a completely different build-up and spread of early reflections, reverb tail and overall sound. The two controls in question are Time, which determines the decay time and hence the 'size' of the space, and Damp, which lets you add high-frequency damping to taste. As its name suggests, Easyverb provides reverberation effects, but aims to make life easier for the user by replacing most of the traditional parameters such as shape, diffusion, room size, pre-delay, and so on by just two main controls and a choice of algorithms. Over the last few years PSP have quietly built up an excellent reputation for the quality of their plug-ins, and Easyverb looks set to continue that trend.
