Reverb is an essential tool for creating depth and space in a mix, as well as adding character and personality to sounds. While most digital audio workstations (DAWs) come with basic reverb plugins, there are many third-party plugins available that offer unique features, high-quality sounds, and advanced controls. In this post, we'll be looking at the top 10 best reverb plugins available for producers. This is list isn't by any means exhaustive (or sponsored), its just a few of my favourites that I use in my productions. You'll also notice that a lot of these aren't 'new', some are even 7ish years old! But still sound great. As always, it comes down to workflow and you don't always need to reinvent the wheel. Without further ado, lets get into it. Enjoy!
