No. The point i'm trying to make is: Don't use reverbs. Think of real
rooms instead of technical devices. It will change your music. This is
about *music*, right?
That's fine if you happen to be into recording live
performances and just happen to have physical access
to some fine acoustic environment... my bedroom doesn't
quite make the grade. I'm also into electronica and need
to process and _master_ my music internally. Every linux
generated reverb I've heard basically sucks compared
to the warmth and translucence of hardware 'verbs. My
needs are simple... just a dozen of the most common
presets would be preferable to some endlessly confusing
set of options as long as the result was convincing.
Surely 2Ghtz plus CPUs are powerful enough to provide
decent reverb for 1/2 dozen tracks these days ?

But then again reverbs are so ludicrous,
are they not? I wish people would use less reverbs and instead
record in rooms that sound beautiful :O)
...or just use convolution reverbs. ;-)
