Freeverb - By Jezar at Dreampoint (http://www.dreampoint.co.uk)
===============================================================
Welcome to FREE professional-quality reverb at last!
----------------------------------------------------
It is already possible to get Professional Digital Multitrack with Automated Digital
Mixing, along with top-notch, plug-in digital effects on your PC for just a few dollars,
using the excellent "n-Track" software from http://www.fasoft.com
What frustrated me though, is the fact that it seemed impossible to buy professional
quality reverb for a decent price from anyone - let alone get it for free! Getting
a good reverb for "n-Track" or indeed any other audio package, from the various
online sources, could literally cost hundreds of dollars!
I wanted to adopt the same spirit as the author of "n-Track", and make high-quality
audio tools available at little or no cost to PC users, and the result is this -
"Freeverb" - the first studio-quality reverb available for free.
Freeverb generates beautifully smooth reverb tails on any signal from drums to vocals.
Even when using the smallest "Room size", the reverb is still soft and pure and does
not "splatter" like even certain commercial units do!
And best of all, Freeverb is completely FREE. It does not cost you a penny. Please
feel free to distribute Freeverb to all your friends. You may distribute it any way
you see fit, provided that you only distribute the original ZIP file with this
readme.txt document intact and unaltered.
Visit http://www.dreampoint.co.uk to make sure you have the latest version!
And visit http://www.fasoft.com for a Digital Multitrack package for a few dollars!
HOW TO USE FREEVERB
-------------------
Copy the Freeverb.dll to the folder where you have other VST plugins. It will then
appear for use in your audio software. If your software can only use "DirectX" audio
plugins, then purchase the excellent Amulet DirectX-to-VST adaptor from
http://www.fxpansion.com
Once you have loaded up Freeverb into your audio software, then simply use "Room size"
to get the size of the room you want, and use the "Wet level" and "Dry level" controls
to balance the reverb as you see fit. "Damping" controls the simulated "absorbency" of
the room, and the "Highpass" and "Lowpass" controls just allow you to tailor the sound to
your personal taste and requirements. "Predelay" allows you to create a reverb that
arrives some time after the original sound - good for simulating "back wall" effects or
simply to make vocals sound more sparkly and guitar solos more interesting.
That's it!
Very best wishes,
