Voxengo OldSkoolVerb

In true Voxengo freeware style, there’s not a whole lot of controls, with PreDelay, Space, Time and Width accompanying damping and EQ parameters. OldSkoolVerb (AU/VST/AXX) was built to emulate the early attempts at reverb made in the digital realm, some of which have stuck around and become legendary in their own rights. Voxengo say that this plugin is best on less transient audio, which we can agree with, preferring to run more sustained tones through its flutter-inducing algorithms.

Whatever the application, pristine, realistic reverb isn’t the order of the day here – it’s all about capturing the sounds and the processing of those vintage spatialisers, and in this, OldSkoolVerb succeeds very well. voxengo.com VERDICT 8.8
