ValhallaDSP Bundle 2024.11

Include

Valhalla Room v2.0.5
Valhalla Room is a reverb plugin which mainly simulates the acoustics of realistic rooms and halls, although it can also be used for special effects. It has 12 different algorithms. ValhallaDSP says this reverb is best for “idealized room impressions”. One review felt that, while Valhalla Room sounds really good, it sounds more “hyper-real and lush” than “gritty and realistic”. They also felt that its user interface could use some improvement.

Valhalla Vintage Verb v4.0.5
Valhalla Vintage Verb is a plugin with the sounds of various late 1970s and 1980s digital reverberators, including ones which sound like Lexicon and EMT reverbs. This plugin has been used song such as Hello and Water Under the Bridge by Adele, as well as on Lana Del Rey’s album “Lust for Life”. It is possible to change the decay rate of different frequencies, and the early and late diffusion can have separate settings.

The plugin has 20 different algorithms, including
Concert Hall, emulating a “late 1970s and early 1980s” reverb in “hall” mode
Plate, emulating an “early 1980s” reverb in “plate” mode
Chamber, a “transparent” algorithm described as being “smooth yet dense”
Random Space and Smooth Room, which are inspired by or emulate “late 1980s” reverb hardware
Sanctuary, which emulates a “a classic German digital reverberator from the 1970s”
Nonlin, a modern representation of 1980s gated reverb algorithms

Chaotic Neutral, a “colorless” sounding reverberation
ValhallaDSP says this reverb is best for the sound of “old school digital hardware reverbs”. One review feels that while it is excellent for getting the unreal larger than life sound of a classic Lexicon reverb, it does not work as a subtle reverb effect and is not a reverb for every occasion.
