Reverb plugins can create space in your mix and they can also be the glue that
holds your mix together or you can use them to create some cool effects on
drums vocals or any other sound every reverb plug-in has its own
characteristics and specialty and if you're searching for reverb and you like
free VST plugins then stick around because in this video I'm looking at 20

channel I do weekly audio tech tips tutorials and reviews to help you
conquer the tech and unleash your creativity just so you know links and
timestamps to all of the plugins mentioned in this video are in the
description and this list is in no particular order plus because there are
so many uses and sounds you can get out of reverb I didn't really go into the
sounds of each one now let's get into the list and first up we have
Tal-reverb-4 this is a plate style reverb that is claimed to have 80's character
it's fairly easy to use and will work on most instruments tal-reverb-4 is
available on Mac and Windows next on the list is Voxengo oldskoolverb this
one gives you a classic sound with plate room and Hall styles they say it's best
suited for non percussive and soft attack sounds like vocals piano and pad
sounds you can get this one on Windows and Mac up next is McharmVerb from
Melda productions this is an algorithmic reverb that's based on melda's more
premium plugin m turbo reverb the customizable interface is

Windows systems next up is Mverb 2020 this is based on the Mverb plug-in from
Martin Eastwood audio which is no longer updated so Mverb 2020 makes this
plug-in available as a 64 bit plugin as the popular classic Mverb was only 32

thirteenth plug-in on the list is safe reverb part of the Safe plug-in series
safe reverb is very interesting you can load your settings just like a normal
reverb plug-in but then you can type in a descriptive word and click Save and
that saves your settings to the description to the cloud now someone
else or you can type in that descriptive term or any other term and click load
and it should hopefully load some settings that fit the sound that you're
after like I said it's a very interesting idea and you can get safe
