1. Knufinke SIR1 reverb plugin

More info and free download @ http://www.knufinke.de/sir/sir1.php

The well known free convolution VST reverb. Convolution reverb is a processing plugin that need an impulse response file. Impulse response is the response of a dynamic system when this system is feeded with an impulse. This gives (an approximation of) the transfer function of the system, the system can be a reverb unit, an open space, a room , etc..

The signal we send to the plugin is convolved with the transfer function of the system : the output is “like if we sent this signal in the modelized system)

Lisc-verb is a free reverb VST plugin with an absolutely insane amount of customization. The interface is packed with sliders, buttons and knobs for fine tuning your sounds to an unreal level of accuracy. 1 semi-parametric 3-Band Stereo EQ, 1 small Reverb for adding some nice flavour. 16 voices, 8 Lazy Buttons. Major differences between Basic Free and Pro version: Pro Version = 16 voices, 128 internal patches, 384 internal waves (3 banks). Next in our “Best of Free VST” series, we scoured the internet for five of the best free reverb plugins out there to get your feet (and sounds) wet. All the plugins listed have versions compatible with both Mac and Windows and are relatively up-to-date with current operating systems.

The SIR1 reverb comes with two impulse response example, but of course you’ll need more than two impulse response files to cover a large variety of reverb (plate, spring reverb, cathedral, stadium, natural spaces, theater, small room, big room, etc..)

Vst Reverb Free

Many musicians have a limited budget to buy new instruments or effects. Above all, many of them use their budget to buy hardware and less about software. One of the effects I personally love on hardware as well as software are reverbs. Good sounding plugins can be expensive but there are several that cost you nothing.

Here is a list with the best free reverbs plugins for PC and Mac. This list shows only plugins running on both systems but there are far more reverb plugins only for Windows. Hopefully you find a nice free reverb in this list. (Updated December 2018)
