For decades, studio engineers considered Blackhole their “secret weapon.” It’s become the go-to ambient effect for guitar and keyboard layers.
This famed, massive reverberator first saw the light of day as an algorithm in our rackmount DSP4000. With the Blackhole plug-in, any instrument in your DAW can warp acoustic space and time. We’ve now perfected the galactic sounds of the Blackhole reverb in native plug-in form. These presets cover spaces as small as a room and as large as space itself. Included with Blackhole is a carefully curated set of 50 presets that serve as a launchpad for your explorations. In short, Blackhole is destined to be one of those tools that you turn to time and again when reality just isn’t enough.īlackhole was designed to give you extensive control, allowing you to craft your own signature sounds. Whether you’re at the event horizon or closer to home, Blackhole will inspire and amaze while its intuitive controls will allow you to add that special something to your tracks without a degree in rocket science. While it’s true Blackhole is capable of creating space-warping special effects and drones, it’s also capable of creating musical and subtle effects you’ll find useful for highlighting key instruments or painting a backdrop for your mix. At small sizes, those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section. At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings, and pads. Our Blackhole® reverb breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in reality (or at least the one we inhabit). Most reverbs are earth-bound and constrained by the physics of the real world. Most of the presets use the shimmer effect, which you may not want, but that is easily turned off.The codes are sent manually, we will send them ASAP, during working hours they should be with you within 20 mins, outside working hours there will be a delay. The Venus Theory / Flashbulb (Benn Jordan) IR pack Underworlds would be up your street I reckon.Īlteza is a great choice for very long ambient reverb. Maybe search for 'ambient impulse response' or 'long impulse responses'. There will also be lots of paid IRs available. Not sure offhand what the limit is for Thafknar. Only thing about Altispace 2 is the 15 second time limit for those wav files.
#EVENTIDE BLACKHOLE REVERB PLUGIN FREE#
There are tons of interesting free ones available, many of which are HUGE.
You can then look around the Internet for IRs. Thafknar is OK but I personally prefer Altispace 2 by a long way. One option would be to get a convolution reverb if you don't have one already. I don't know much about Valhalla as I stick to iOS. I have BlackHole and Crystalline, but looking for something Valhalla-like. What are the best reverbs available today, for someone looking for massive reverb.
I'm sure they are great but also don't know if my ears are tuned in enough to be able to spot all the differences. Thanks for this info! I've wanted Valhalla effects for awhile but honestly just cannot justify the expense (yes, I know they are not expensive for good reverbs) but I have so many other effects and reverbs on the desktop. the blog is probably still around and is interesting if you're a fan of early reverbs, pitch shifters, digital processors, etc. also, lots of information on very early digital processors. Sean had a blog, before the release of shimmer, describing some of his process in creating this effect. Most recognise this as the sound of The Edge (U2 produced by Eno/Lanois), and refer to it as shimmer. Though I've never spoken with Sean Costello, I believe Valhalla Shimmer was created to emulate a process that Eno and Lanois experimented with reverb, delay, feedback, pitch shifting. pitch shift isn't used in the Blackhole algo, at least not in the way it is used in Shimmer.Īll of the Valhalla processors are very good/useful.
