$70 vs. $4750 Reverb - Bricasti M7, Verbsuite Classics, Seventh Heaven 

The evil laugh into the “I’m sorry” has me week lmao

My goodness that sounds awesome. Thanks very much for the reviews

First listen of all 3 Churches and I instantly could pick out all 3 (even having only used 1 of the 3 myself - mixed w pre-printed verb from another). Watched the rest of the video waiting to the end and I was actually right about all 3! Which means 1 of 2 things. Either I got very lucky on this one, or, I can no longer use my monitoring as an excuse for any bad mixes I let slip through. I'm sticking with luck to make myself feel better haha.

Dude this is incredible content- wow. I have never heard you do a shootout before on this channel but you are certainly predisposed to doing it in a very uniquely elegant way. Would love to see more of this type of content. Not sure if you work with analog when mixing but that would be fun. And blind- always, until the very end. Double blind would be really really cool but more of a pita to set up for you.

Interesting- I liked A and C most of the time because of the low end build up on B - A sounded more like a natural room but C is the least intrusive which can be good in a mix that has lots of things on the low mid.

Great video 🎉. I choose the same a,c,b line up but for different reasons, it’s weird how we differ in taste but end at same outcome. A was not distracting and musically blended, the other 2 had better separation, more do to distraction and crappy math going on in the plugin,C was the preferred in 2nd place. In solo it really stood out, b was not tangible and cadence smeared undesirably, C was the lesser evil. I’d say it’s worth the money as much as it’s worth mixing at 96k, people can chew on that for a bit.

Great video. May go buy Seventh Heaven right now

A is my preferred one and I think it may be the real M7. I also think C might be the M7, although I don't like it as much as A.

Church I prefer C the most on Chamber B or C can work

My "less liking of B" was based of hearing just reverb soloed. I have the Liquid Sonics plugin but no hardware or Slate Digital so I'm in seventh heaven after the reveal!

I like A and C myself. Don't really care which is which.

I recognize B not being as "wet" and I like in the chorus 3 ...I believe 3 is the hardware.

What was the name of the microphone again brother? Circle Audio EVO 251?

Without cheating I was right on my guessing of which one was what. I feel good knowing that

The only thing I got right was guessing No 2 was Slate digital. Slate Digital is always somewhat off in their emulations. In recognizable ways

I’ve been debating getting revoice 5 for its doubler feature in your opinion how does it compare to just to real doubles

I prefered B bigtime, and still do 😊. A full audio spectrum between the dry and wet signal.

A is super clean, B is THICC. you can hear the modulation in that. C is somewhere in the middle but closer to A. I feel like A and B are probably useful to have together because they have a definite colour to them.

Happy to say i picked them all correctly 😁 Which version of 7th Heaven was it? Standard or Pro?

RU-vid compresses the sound quality so much that you'll never hear the difference. But trust me, the difference is there. It's not like you still can't use plugins though.

You helped me become better at mixing with all your videos. Just want to say thank you for your works Matthew 🏆 What plugin did you use in the “vac attack vox”?

I had hardware pegged fairly early, I honestly don't really know why except there's a certain vibe I was getting in how the reverb was mixing in. B & C plug-ins, I wasn't able to pick. I just got Slate and SSL Complete as a trial with plans to go yearly, but I've not gotten to the Mac to load any up. So I'll get to try Verbsuite. I still like my other hardware emulation, Relab Development LX480 V4 Dual Engine, but that's not going to stop me from trying others.

Even though I never used a hardware Bricasti, neither do I own the Seventh Heaven... I guessed right from the beginning. I use the Slate one on a daily basis though. Idk how but any reverb I used in the slate collection has like a distinctive footprint let's call it.

Paused at minute 7, my thoughts : a) I like the B, cleaner with more definition. It sounds like a clear reverb, standard space, nothing much about it. Not bad at all, not too good either. b) A has some sort of bitcrushing artifact (or that's what I heard) that can sometimes be useful but not really what I like for clean sustained instruments or vocals. c) I think I'll go for the C for vocals, because it has lower diffusion with obvious delay partials which most of the time can works well with vocals. Not all the time, but I tend to like that type of reverb for vocals. My choice would be the C I guess. I like low diffusion reverb. I have both Seventh Heaven and Verbsuite Classic, I use Verbsuite Classic all the time and for Bricasti style reverb I use Reverberate also from LS that comes with free BM7 pack which in my opinion is more versatile and slightly better sounding but a little harder to use. Will continue watching the video now. EDIT : Lol, ironically liking the one I didn''t use and the hardware is the one that has "bitcrushing artifact". Is that the converter ?

I liked A & C the best, and could really hear the depth and tone differences among all 3, but something that really confuses me is how a digital reverb that is just running algorithems, can sound different when the same algorithems are run through a plug in. What is going on to produce such differences?

I feel we're working our way to a Weiss Advice Mixtape lol

Heard just the first vocal....I guess A is the hardware...listening g thru my phone😊

B slate because the resonances on the chamber

I actually didn’t really like the Bricasti - which I guessed right - I thought the low mids were a little muddy. Slate is recognizable because of the slightly brittle highs, which is the signature sound in most of his software. Seventh Heaven sounds the most balanced in terms of frequency. I would probably use an eq on the Bricasti and the Slate. Thanks for the shootout:)

A & C almost interchangeable - my favorites. B is a little thick for my taste. All good reverbs though - could make a killer mix with any of them.

Theres is just that expensive sounding tail thats in A that the others don't have. Its very close though. I really like the voice. Distinct and expressive.

I liked B the best on both parts. I was focused on his voice and it was the only one which I could really get into his vocals. A sounded a bit weak and C just sounded off with a weird mid tone. However, I bet the Bricasti would sound better with more vocal post processing and louder/denser settings on the reverb

And there it is, I prefer software reverbs :-) or rather I prefer the sound of Liquidsonics since they make both Verbsuite and Seventh Heaven

Voice has a good range and is pleasing enough. Obviously lake some assurance and the pitch wonder a bit but I'm thinking with regular practice you could probably sing. I'm no vocal coach mind you but i don't see why not.

No cheating - I remember Bricasti always seemed dark and deep to me. Bricasti is C. IDK. Watching now haha

B sounds the most dissonant when it's isolated. It feels like it's "ricocheting" off the "walls" a bit more. I prefer C and then A (very close call). B is good too but it feels more confined and dissonant. (Greetings from absurd music ideas!)

B deffo my fav

A & C sounded the same to me, there was something different about B, and I liked B less than A & C.

There will always be some small differences, mostly due to the converters.

I’m guessing that A is the $69 one, it felt too big cluttered and washy, B is the Bricasti and C is the $150 one. I preferred B as it was a bit cleaner and didn’t get in the way of the voice. Edit: oh damn!

A is my favorite

A is the Bricasti M7

Favorites: B, C, A. Don't care which is hardware.

I like Church A and Chamber B

I see reverb I click 😌

Quite obvious from the beggining. Expensive reverbs give you more transparent sound full of soft highs without overwhelmed mids and lo mids that actually just a noise and masking 80% of your mix so you just have to make it quiter, we have waves for that bs

I think he should have had someone else do the recording and try to compare and guess just like us! :)

I bet the order is: A Seventh Heaven B Bricasti C Verbsuite Now I'll proceed with the video and see if I pick it right 😁

the vocal

lol i got the blind test😃

I won't care to guess, I do know they all sound great.

C is less wet. I like it more.

Weak shirt game today, disappointed, I only come here for the shirts.

C gave me motion sickness.
