Free TC electronic M 30 reverb (3days limited offer)

I have a question.....I use the Peo verb with a lot of IR's from different sources..(mainly that I learnd from on here) is there any advantage to also having this plug in or is it just redundant...?? The Pro-Verb with all the IR's already blows my mind..LOL

[Armageddon]

So ... according to TC, as a Konnekt 24D owner, I should already own this? I haven't noticed this particular algorithm on Fabrik R, but I haven't been blown away by either Fabrik R or Fabirk C, so I haven't really delved into either one. To me, TC's 'verbs are a bit dark and unflattering. I mean, I've tried using them, and they are serviceable, especially if this is all you have, but if you compare them to, say, Classik Studio Reverb, which is usually dark but has a great, Lexicon-style character, they're just sort of dull. Which is a shame, because Fabrik R on my system is a powered plug and would have been a huge boon to my system, but between the 96 kHz limit and the just-average sound, I'd rather throw on a CSR plug (or, soon, an Altiverb plug). Other than Fabrik R, I've also messed around with their native Master Reverb plug and their Spark Reverb plug during the days of Classic and while there were plenty of controls to tool around with, and a huge amount of presets to choose from, I just never got into it. Of course, I've never used a hardware or a software System 6000, or any of the other PowerCore 'verbs aside from Fabrik R, so maybe I'm missing something.

cloudspitter, in my opinion, it's always nice to have more options, even with a ton of IRs for ProVerb, but I don't think it's necessary, especially if you're happy with the selection of halls, rooms and plates you have at your disposal. Sometimes, though, it's nice to have a chintzy plate reverb to drop in on a horn section or as an effect.

I dared install it last night and could run it as a VST in BIAS Peak Pro, which doesn't help as I don't use Reverb at the mastering stage usually.

Oh well. The Audio Unit doesn't show up so I guess this was only packaged as a VST freebie, regardless of platform or hardware (PPC vs. Intel).

For those of us running Snow Leopard, TC Electronic has this to say about the M30 Reverb!

Note for Snow Leopard users!

We've experienced a problem with some systems running Snow Leopard.
A preset change will lead to noisy output, and we recommend not to use the plug-in at present time.
We'll look into the bug and get it fixed. To make sure you get the fixed version, sign up for the free version, and we'll send you a mail when the fix is ready.

I'm glad I read this before I actually installed....... Things have been great so far and I want to keep it that way!

I SIGNED UP AND DIDN'T GET IT

Great way to come back to the native plug protocol:lol:

Unless they are using this freebie as a way of learning-at our BETA stage debugging?

Glad I didn't install yet

i never got an e-mail

i never got an e-mail

I would try contacting them Dave. I received an email straightaway after signing up. The entire process from signup to installation took maybe 10 minutes max.

Strange, worked perfectly on my system.

Digital gods are on my side ATM

[Dan Walsh]

Strange, worked perfectly on my system.

Yeah, me too. I haven't ran it hard but I used it today as an AUX set to the same input as my mic so as to have some verb in the cans when I tracked Dobro.

No probs at all.

It work fine if you stop playback before changing presets.

Over the long term, systems like Powercore and UAD won't be able to keep up with native processing...

There will ALWAYS be a need for powered plugs because not everyone has an 8 core machine or the latest and greatest. Plus, it's doing double duty as a dongle. Sure the systems will get faster but having the headroom for the processors to work really makes a huge difference in the overall responsiveness of the DAW so powered plugins will be here for a while.
My Duende uses hybrid processing in which the card and the computer work together as a whole and I can see more of that going on but these developers have way too much interest in keeping these plugs safe from the cracking POS ... so do I as a user.

I think you are completely wrong about this. With Apple continuing to obsolete hardware, they will force everyone forward. It's not as if we haven't exceeded the specs for capturing audio in the digital domain. Now every speed boost (every 6 months) is about CPU bandwidth. Much of the powered plugs required external processing because they used a lot more processing power than an internal CPU could handle back in the day and therefore could produce a superior plug in... but that's not the case anymore. The native plugs that are now being produced rival and exceed the quality of UAD, Duende, Powercore, you name it. And these devices are already losing traction. TC is seeing the light, and while UAD is trying to keep up, they just can't paddle fast enough. SSL has a different thing going on because they are repackaging themselves, but Duende will never be a major contender unless all you want is SSL... which is all you get.

In my experience, the processor "gains" made by the external processing required as much or more power as the plug had it been native. All the buffering of the data with such huge latencies was just a mess. So in regard to the dongle issue, which I believe this may have been a primary function of such devices, companies should just dump the card and... use a freaking dongle!

... but these developers have way too much interest in keeping these plugs safe from the cracking POS ... so do I as a user.

Those that used cracked software aren't going to buy plug ins anyway, so neither TC, nor UAD, nor SSL have anything to lose. I'm not against companies protecting their investment, but at this point, I think as TC is realizing, they are limiting themselves and their marketshare by continuing to support a very antiquated form of technology.
