- 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!
