Rich reverb plugin to be used in Ardour

Post by oakwood »

Here is another newbie question!

I am learning how to use plugins in Ardour.
I would like to apply (a lot of) reverb to a midi track, and I have tried ACE reverb, and XT-GV GVerb.
However, the amount of reverb that I manage to get is... not as much as I would like.

I was watching this video, and it mentions the "Valhalla Supermassive" reverb plugin.
I understand that that one is a VST, and it would be maybe possible to use it, but via Wine, and some technicalities that are too much for me, now.

So, my question is: is there anything that would give the same amount of reverb, in the LV2 format?

Thanks a lot!

You can definitely use Supermassive with LinVST or yabridge but there are lots of others you can try. I'm not sure if you mean you want longer/bigger reverbs or just more wet signal (if this is the case use the wet/dry controls).

Airwindows has some really long reverbs. Try Galactic, Infinity, MatrixVerb.

Thanks a lot, sysrqer!

I probably ment longer/bigger reverbs, because the one I was using was at the full wetness, and was "not enough" :)

I have tried the three you mentioned, from Airwindows, and they are really good!

LinVST and yabridge are still too much for me :-/

I will stick with LinuxVST format (readily available in Ardour), for the time being, it seems that there is already plenty of good stuff in this category! :)

Thanks again!
