Air fx 2.4 review

Frisbi wrote:Man, presets are for lazy people.
Serious people like tweaking and editing to reach the sound they're after.
Complaining about the lack of filters on reverb?
Come on.
I prefer the idea of combining fx to get your own sound.

Not so complicated

I agree.

They never had hp/lp filters on them and Professionals never ever complain about that.

If you're going to be a producer in 2019 and beyond need to tweak and have the respect for yourself and music to tweak and not sound like the next producer. There's nothing wrong with learning and improving, being stagnated is wack and you won't last long. The more you know the more people will use you. I thought I would wear one hat and look at me know, I wear many, and people call on you and pay you.

Sometimes, I laugh at the whole process, because I know monster guitarist, who use a reverb off their guitar amp, on hits songs, that people play everyday. It's all about how you tweak it.

The better vst reverb, do offer more parameters to tweak. That's what we are paying for. With convolution reverb, were paying for Impulse Responses from different places around the world. Castles in Ireland, NASA facilitates and so on.

This Air reverbs is at the level of Valhalla or Eventide plugins reverb so its very welcomed but to have a good reverb it needs to be tweaked and chained properly.

How you figure

Frisbi wrote:Study the basics guys.
Use the reverb as you like but expect that Air reverb is optimized for send return.

Some of the biggest records, were made using the cheapest reverb. Personally, I only use convulsion reverb and I record my own Impulse Responses. But at the same time, if needed, I can make a 25 cent reverb sound good.
