Now that I’ve had a week to play around with this one, I’m convinced enough to recommend this to anybody:
Last week WaveAlchemy released a free reverb plugin called Magic7.
Bricasti M7 impulse responses have been available online for years (Samplicity has a good free set here), and Magic7 is one of the many plugins utilizing Bricasti IRs. But it’s all wrapped in a very nice looking GUI, complemented with just a couple of useful features like ducking, transient smoothing and modulation, and they made it free. Seems very stable on my setup so far, so it’s a no-brainer for me. Definitely one of my go-to reverbs in the future.
It may not be the most tweakable reverb out there, but just the presets are so great they’ll work out of the box in many contexts. Sonically it can compete with paid alternatives like Liquidsonics Seventh Heaven or Samplicity Number Seven Standard.
Just go grab it. Very warm recommendation.
