![]() ![]() The Bricasti somehow doesn't muddy up your mix as fast as other reverbs, which allows you to use more of it and besides also has the most realistic sounding (and behaving) hall algorithms I found so far. and I seem to have very similar experiences when it comes to the M7. They share the sound character, but that's not what sets the Bricasti apart from other reverbs in my opinion. I compared the emulations out there and they are not identical to the hardware unit. (Of course stemming with a hardware unit also has its drawbacks, but I gladly work with those when it comes to the M7) Does the hardware unit get you results you are happy with faster and you are saving time by using it, then to me it's worth it. ![]() Is the price difference justified? I would say it depends on what your goal is. Sorry, but with the amount of content most people need to crank out to make a living these days (and all the calls for last minute changes with deadlines), there's just no time for it. And one of the biggest problems - no more offline bouncing, unless you're going to spend the time to capture the verb in real time and print it to a track. You won't want to waste time logging settings for recall if you need to revisit a mix. If you buy it, chances are you will not use it often. If you're mixing ITB, that external hardware is a PITA. I've had some high end hardware units from TC Electronics in my rack, and I simply never used them. I think the top reason to not buy an out of the box verb is that it simply does not fit into many workflows. I've got all the top convolution verbs, too, but don't seem to use them much. Really like Fab Filter, TC Electronics VSS3 and Galbanum B2 (B2 is a monster - uses a lot of computer power, though). I have quite a few plug-ins, and I'm never left wanting. Because I'm sure it doesn't sound like the real deal.In 2019, I don't think it's worth it. ![]() Do I need to get a plug-in version of the M7 ? I don't think so. Works great via Serial MIDI cables, connected to a MIDI Interface. ![]() I also use the Exponential Audio M7 VST editor to edit and save presets. My first few minutes with the Bricasti M7 HW were purely WOWs ! It sounds fantastic. I'm already using it on a job, and to good effect, which was an extra stimulant. Well designed, very versatile - with lots of control of just about everything you ever might want to control (except stereowidth), good sound (not quite “Wow! Never heard reverb like this before!”-good perhaps, but still pretty good and sounding really different from everything else I own), so I switched the demo license for a permanent one. (To give one example: a great way to push a bass back in the mix without having to give it potentially dangerous amounts of reverb.) Some of these presets don’t generate a discernible reverb, but more a sort of suggestion of air around a source signal. I also like the ‘Ambience’ category very much. While I’m still not sure about several of the larger spaces - there’s something whirly going in some of these long tails which might work very well in a mix (haven’t tried that yet), but which, on its own, I don’t really like the sound of -, the short reverbs however are rrrrreally good. And accustomed to the tune, it whistles night and noon.
