These days there a lot of reverb plugins and what I need too choose?
There are a ton of reverb plugins now, and it can feel a bit overwhelming.
The good news is: you don’t need ALL of them – just a few that cover the main types of reverbs you’ll use most.
So my short answer why I still use ArtsAcoustic Reverb, because it still sounds good and gets the job done !
I still using ArtsAcoustic Reverb because:
- It sounds clean and musical
The algorithm has a very natural decay and sits in a mix without getting cloudy. Especially great for synths, vocals, drums, and short rooms. - It’s stupidly efficient
Super low CPU compared to modern “fancy” reverbs. You can slap it on multiple tracks without your session crying. - Fast workflow
The interface is simple and predictable. You can dial in a usable reverb in seconds instead of tweaking 40 parameters. - You know it
Muscle memory matters. When you already know how a reverb reacts, you make better decisions faster. - No hype, no gimmicks
New reverbs add visuals, modulation pages, AI this, vintage that… ArtsAcoustic just does reverb. And does it well. - It still competes sonically
Even next to Valhalla, PRO-R 2, Raummaschine, etc., it holds up – especially for tight rooms, plates, and drums.
Honestly? A lot of experienced engineers still keep at least one “old” plugin around because reverb quality didn’t magically reset in the last 10 years.
If you want, tell me:
- what you mostly use it on (synths, vocals, drums, synths), or
- what kind of DAW/genre you’re in
and I’ll tell you whether ArtsAcoustic is actually your best choice – or just your comfortable one.
