wich software has the best effects (built in, not vst's)?

[diogo]

hi everyone,

im wondering wich software has the best effects, especially in terms of reverbs...

i have cool edit pro 2.1. and pro tools (though i never use this one and dunno where the damn install disc is)...

i find the effects on cool edit very usable...but i really want to know if there's something out there i might be missing in terms of reverbs on software (not vst's...just reverbs that are already there)...

my sound relies lots on reverbs, so i really want to get the best i can in terms of software..

any views on this?

tanx in advance..

tanx fellas,

i as looking for THE best though...it doesnt have to be cool edit or pro tools...i really want THE software with best effects..

but knowing ppl really like cool edit is cool...i guess i could do a lot worse.

Just a side note: even the effects that come with a sequencer are VSTs (or RTAS or whatever). They may be standard in that they come with the program, but they are still plugins. The only non-plugin "effect" I know of is the build in EQ on every track in Cubase, and it sucks it makes me wonder why they didn't just leave it out.

hey Halion,

yep, i realize that they're all plugins, but, for instance in cool edit pro u cant add more, wich, if the program sucked, would be very limiting.. :/

i just really want to know if im missing out on something special out there, not owning any outboard fx and relying lots and lots on reverbs..

You could buy a single good reverb plugin, like the Waves Rverb (part of the renaissance bundle but also for sale as a single plug in). Shouldn't be too expensive.

tanx for the sugestion Halion,

i will surely look into that! not sure if ill be legal though

tanx!

Ah, well, the Waves Rverb costs 200 dollars new. You might be able to get an educational discount (if you are a student ofcourse) but it will still cost you. You could ofcourse go the try-before-you-buy way, but if you ever want to go the legal route, a good verb plugin will last you a long time and eventually, you will find that it was worth the money.

I to went in search of the best effects I could find, just like you I am a poor basterd making due. Among my trials I tried :

NUENDO - hated the reverb, loved the interface
COOL EDIT - kinda liked the reverb , hated the interface
WAVES GOLD BUNDLE - loved the reverb for a natrual vibe
SAMPLITUDE - The best iv heard so far.

Now I can say that the samplitude reverb im talking about is kind of a little add on called the "impule respones pack" And the verbs and room simulaters have been great for making my close mic vocals sound like it was recorded in a good room.
