I concur that the best, free-est reverb for DP is Proverb. WaveArts, Sonnox, URS,and Breverb are certainly well worth looking at. One of the Convolvers might even do the trick.

Waves also has a converb which is quite good, but then one has to deal with Waves, which is not always worth the grief.

For close to free: Stillwell's reverb is excellent.

For not-so-free:
Nomad Factory Blueverb is great too.

No IRs though. They're more like analog gear of old. But wickedly delightful.

<cut>Frodo's excellent list of verbs</cut>

One more, if you have MachFive 2, it has built in reverbs.

The best free reverb is inside a haunted castle. When the sound hits the ghost, there's a supernatural decay.

DOH!

Thanks everyone for the great info! Motunation rocks!

Ha ha ha! Good one, bOingster.

Hey, thank you '6ster. I appreciate the snapshot too! I'd have missed it had you not taken it.

I had no idea you were a confidant of Siggy.

Billy, Billy, Billy... have your repooting skills succumbed to the laws of entropy? Did you not win the Grand Poobah of Pooparazzi award several years in a row?

My dear friend, the picture is a truncated derivation of one you took and posted circa 2007. Not only were you aware of my affiliation with Siggy, but you managed to eavesdrop and photograph that famous conversation where Siggy, in his infinite ignorance, scoffed at my visions of a digital future, and indeed our beloved DP.

LOL, I had forgotten about that. Monkeys must have long memories.

It must be the gratitude factor, Billy.

Great list, Frodo, thanks for sharing. I will check some of those out as well as others that some of you mentioned.

BillF mentioned Mach5 2, which I do have. I've used some of the included reverb on the Mach5 sounds, but are you saying there's a way to run audio through those reverbs,too? I haven't figured out that, if so! Please let me know.

Also, do eVerb and the others included in DP5 stack up at all against some of these cheaper verbs some of you have mentioned? I'm happy to spend a couple hundred bucks for an improvement, but just can't tell how decent the stuff I already have is by comparison. Thanks!

ProVerb in DP 6 has pretty much retired all my others. Well, I may pull out WaveArts "MasterVerb" now and then.

I pretend that eVerb and Reverb don't exist. Some people like them, though. To me, they sound awful. However, I think Plate sounds quite good.

[monkey man]

eVerb and Reverb? What're they? LOL

Any audio file (except those that are copy protected) can be brought into the sampler, triggered from DP, and make use of the sampler FX.

Proverb is ok but nothing compared to Altiverb.
Proverb has been hard to work with.
Most of the reverbs they offer are too long.
Altiverb has great ambience IR's that realistically male it sound like a nice big studio room.

Maybe I just have to work with Proverb a bit more.

Anyone have any favorite presets on Proverb?
Let me know and I'll start working with them first.

[monkey man]

Well, for starters, providing 'verbs as "too long" alongside a prominent decay knob makes perfect sense for achieving the most variation possible, doesn't it?
