Some equipment racks are lucky enough to have an Eventide SP2016. It's an effects processor from the mid-1980's that included several reverb algorithms that are still prized today: Stereo Room, Room Reverb, and High Density Plate. Princeton Digital has recreated these reverbs in the Reverb 2016 hardware unit, and these same sounds are available as a set of Digidesign Pro Tools TDM (DSP-based) plugins.Features-Three great plug-ins: Stereo Room, High Density Plate, and Room Reverb-New presets by John Agnello (The Hold Steady, Patty Smith, Dinosaur Jr.), Joe Chicarelli (U2, Elton John, White Stripes), Stewart Lerman (The Roches, Antony and the Johnsons, and Crash Test Dummies), and George Massenburg (James Taylor, Billy Joel, Dixie Chicks) have been added.-Natural and distinctive; unique sound-Simple, intuitive parametric controls-Complex early reflections-Smooth decay tail-Novel Position control for precise room placement-Decay control sets the reverb time-Predelay adds a delay before the reverb-Diffusion alters the character of the space-EQ block: corner frequency and gain controls-Input gain control for precise level matching-Kill button for quick effect auditionCreating a reverb algorithm is part art and part science.The science bit is all about the naturalness of the sound - whether the simulation convincingly conveys the feel of a real room.Some digital reverbs don't have the horsepower to run a sufficiently complex program to achieve naturalness. Without enough processing power the effect will suffer from low echo density or unnatural density growth with time or comb filter effects, etc. As Einstein is alleged to have said things should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. This principle certainly applies to reverb algorithms.The art of reverb algorithm design begins with simulating a 'room' that actually...
