best free reverb plug for DP?

[blazingrythm]

Well, I'm not sure what you mean but I've tried going through quit a few of their presets in Proverb
and made adjustments to the length etc. but I could never find a preset that actually made it sound like a big room.

I could never find a way to have the decay fall off naturally like in a real environment.
I guess I'm looking for a reverb that simulates some distant 'room mics' placed a good distance from the drums
in a studio with some space.

Proverb seems to be less of a convolution reverb than Altiverb.

Anyway, what are your favorite presets in Proverb?
Is there a way to download more presets somewhere?
I don't think I'm qualified enough to create my own from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

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.

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.

Ah, I see. Now I just tried what I think you're suggesting and it seemed to work, but the way I'm doing it seems a little clunky. Is this what you meant: I dragged the entire 4-minute soundbite of a finished song into MachFive2, where I assigned it a key and it asked me to save the file. Then I created a channel in DP and when record-enabled, I could play my 4-minute song as one long sample, with whatever effects I want, etc. Is this correct? It works, but just seems a little clunky to have to play the whole song as a long sample. Please clarify if I've missed something. Thanks!

There are many ways to use MachFive, and how you use it depends what you want to do with any given audio track. If you're using the MachFive verb for the entire audio track, you could freeze the track thus creating treated audio. However, many times an effect is not necessarily "on" for the entire track. For example, let's say you want some sort of filter effect on a track but only at bars 30 to 35. If you want to use MachFive, then you could take that snippet of audio from those bars on the given track, load it into the sampler, apply your filter inside MachFive, use MIDI to trigger it at bar 30, and trigger off at bar 35.

The neat thing about MachFive is that you can use it to effect your audio tracks beyond just the pool of FX plugins in your toolbox. I suspect many folks may view it as just a "sample player" when in fact it is also an audio treatment engine for your recorded tracks if you choose to use it that way.
