The Sound Board

Relab Development have released what they say is "the ultra-realistic cinematic reverb and the world’s most accurate recreation of a peerless Danish hardware reverb". Adding: "The REV6000 faithfully recreates the iconic “Hollywood” sound of a classic Danish hardware reverb, enhanced with a modern workflow for today's production workflows. It offers unparalleled audio quality, intuitive controls, and a broad range of applications for music production, post-production, and sound design. With the REV6000, we're not just recreating an iconic reverb; we're carrying forward a tradition of audio excellence that has defined Danish audio engineering for decades."

If you're confused about the difference between this product and TC Electronic's own software reverbs: the Relab recreates (a stereo version of) the VSS6 algorithm from the TC6000, whereas TC's plugins are the VSS3 and VSS4 ported from their System6000.

Not particularly impressed by any of the demo's (check below), I must say (*) — which doesn't mean that the REV6000 isn't capable of impressive results — and moreover, I have a festering allergy for anything that relies on the word 'cinematic' to try and lure me in, so this is not for me, but if you're of a different mind, the Relab REV6000 is being introduced at a price of $149. Its regular price will be $199. There's also a demo version which gives you a one-week free trial.

(*) The below-average quality of some of the source material has got something to do with it in a few of the examples.

I like it. Much. I would nearly have bought it for the loyality price of USD 129 but found out that I actually get a free crossgrade as a Relab VSR24 / Reverb Bundle2 owner.

Caveat: I had to create an account to Relabs community website in order to find an explanation how to do the crossgrade. That is why I leave this message here, in case anybody should be in a similar situation.

Was almost the same for me. They seem to not have a good email management and simply mail their crossgrade offer to anyone. I wonder how many VSR24 owner have purchased the REV6000 accidentally. VSR24 is my goto overall reverb and I didn't have the time to make a serious comparison yet. But the first impression of the REV6000 was very good. How do they compare to you?

I found it faster to deal in a satisfactory result with REV6000. Once I have found the time to compare them sonically I shall come back here and report.

Well, seeing as it is free cross-grade for Reverb Bundle 2 or VSR24 owners — I wasn't aware of this before — I just went through the necessary steps and I have now got the REV2600 installed as well.

I tested it very lightly and found no discernable difference or anything crucial between some of its most appealing presets and Cinematic (sorry Piet) Rooms’ ones. I just have some CMS40 Focal to set my ears on fire. Well I do not have anymore, just sold’em and am looking for some 6,7 or 8 inches monitors ro reach for that bottom end my synths are so capable of emeting.
