Wow.. it's not every day you get something for nothing, but you certainly do here. What is there to say, it's a VST plugin effect, called FREEVERB.. and it's free... um... and it comes in 4 fruity flavours: PC-VST, Mac-VST, Direct-X & Linux even. !!!
I tried it out instantly, and the claims made on the website are true... it IS as good as the best reverbs you can get for vst plugins or dx like TC etc or rasther it sounds as good if not better... shit!... I especially like the filters, you can mess with that and the density to get the finest of whispers of reverb on vocals given them air without cluttering up the mix... well, I've found my 'verb for VST...
No fancy stuff with Freeverb, just the standard VST grid/sliders panel default like you get with some DB plugins... you can see from the image what they are cos the image above is fullsize, and the thing is, as the author claims, he's designed the algorithms for the verbs based on tuning them by ear, not mathmatical tables... This mysterious 'Jezar' character, who is the author from the company Dreampoint, is supposed to be a well experienced engineer & producer and tuned the 'verb to sound right and offer low resources... it certainly does run light compared to other 'big' 'verbs you can get, and the sound IS as good as they claim... ulp!!
interestingly, the sparse design may spawn new 'glossier' interface panels & new fx even... The company/author offers the code free so it's only a matter of time before (as the author wants to happen), people download the code and use it to create new Freeverb devices using the algorithms the author has put into public domain.. interesting.... This is as you might have gathered not Dreampoint's main core business....
Anyways... there it it, and what a great freebie, the sound is superb for nowt or by any FX units standards for that matter... cool...
The company & author also encourage distribution, so download it from the file section on the right side-column of this page or at their site... the link is also on the right there...
