Not rated yet

A true-stereo convolution reverb with two IR engines that loads your own WAV, AIFF or FLAC impulse responses.

Fusion-IR modulation, re-decaying from 0.25x to 1.75x and split early/late editing give recorded IRs much of the flexibility of an algorithmic reverb.

Best for: Vocals, Acoustic Instruments, Drums, Sound Design. Genres: all genres.

Keywords: impulse-response based, convolution, low latency, algorithmic, classic, digital classic, hardware emulation, chorus, drums, ducking, mixing, room, samples & loops, sidechain input, sound design, vocals, zero-latency.

What it does

Reverberate 3 is a "modulated true-stereo convolution reverb bringing your IR captures to life." It plays standard impulse responses and LiquidSonics' own Fusion-IR format, which adds captured modulation for a livelier tail.

Dual convolution engines: two reverbs with independent processing chains, and IR chaining so the early reflections of one IR can be mixed with the tail of another.
Fusion-IR editing: separate early and late components, adjustable late pre-delay and re-decaying from 0.25x to 1.75x of the original time.
Modulation: modulated true-stereo simulation plus split pitch and time modulation for the early and late segments.
Effects: modulated EQs, delays, chorus, dispersion and a ducker with sidechain support.
Latency: zero-latency processing, or an optional 8192-sample mode; IR files can be WAV, AIFF or FLAC.

The current version is 3.4.6. Owners of earlier versions get 50% off; optional expansion packs add captures such as a Bricasti M7.

When to use it

Reverberate 3 is a convolution reverb for people who collect impulse responses. Unlike Altiverb 8, which comes with a large curated library of real spaces, it is built for your own IRs, and it does more than Waves IR-1 and McDSP Revolver, which are simpler IR players. Pick Reverberate 3 when you want to modulate, re-decay and combine your own IRs at a low price.

Best for: playing captures of classic hardware and real rooms with more movement and editing than a standard convolution reverb.
Genres: all styles; general-purpose reverb.
Look elsewhere if: you want a large bundled library of spaces (Altiverb 8) or a purely algorithmic reverb.
Standout: re-decaying IRs without stretch artifacts and chaining early reflections from one IR to another's tail.

What producers say

Reviewers and users highlight its flexibility and value; one user misses drag-and-drop IR loading.

Production Expert (2020) Julian Rodgers said it offers IRs of classic reverbs "with almost as much freedom" as an algorithmic reverb, and stressed the price.
KVR forum (2021) one user said it "is all you need from these guys...does it all"; another called it and Illusion "both great."
Gripe: a KVR user (2021) disliked that they "can't drag and drop samples into it."
