H-Reverb Hybrid Reverb is a reverb plugin from Waves that combines algorithmic and convolution reverb technologies. It is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
H-Reverb Hybrid Reverb from Waves is built around combining two reverb technologies. Waves describes it as pairing the flexibility of algorithmic reverb with the realism of convolution, which lets you move from simple rooms to large halls, or into effects that bend linear space and time. The plugin also includes EQ, dynamics, modulation, damping and decay envelope controls, so you can shape the reverb beyond its basic character.
H-Reverb can produce natural-sounding spaces as well as more experimental reverb effects. The FIR engine lets you shape non-linear decay, which is useful when a standard decay curve does not fit the sound you want.
Full control over the buildup of the reverb gives you precise timing and shaping of the tail, so the reverb can swell in, bloom or cut off as the mix requires.
The interface can be collapsed to show basic controls or expanded to reveal the deeper settings. Pre-delay can sync to BPM, which helps build rhythmic reverb effects that lock to your tempo.
H-Reverb supports mono, stereo, 5.0 and 5.1 surround configurations, making it suitable for stereo music production as well as surround projects.
