I have demo'd it. It is excellent, cpu seemed a bit high if remember. I didn't buy because I felt I was well covered by Valhalla Vintage Verb's "Palace" mode.
What's the best reverb plugin, and do I own one that's any good?

This must be how normal people use VI-C. Ask a question, get answers, actually go make music with the gained knowledge.

It sounded relatively good on release, but also sounded flat and static to me. I believe it's also a mono->stereo reverb, so it'll collapse your image. Or it was. And the UI wasn't very good for software, either. I've not looked at it since release, though, so maybe it's much improved.

Nah, normal people don’t use VI-C to begin with!

TL;DR
The M1 Air Laptop provides an interesting mix perspective, for sure. It seems Apple does something with phase to give a wider stereo feel, and this tends to emphasize reverbs. As such, it is a different and useful type of tool for mixing.
I tend to do most of my reverbs via sends; this makes it easy to change overall reverb amount... just adjust the Reverb Return Faders.

Yea.
I started to find so many mistakes after I used the Air M1 speakers, in particular when referencing. The commercial stuff sounds great through its speakers, and when you reference with your own, you can hear the issues. It's worth for its speakers alone - I admit though, I wouldn't believe this if anyone else said it.

The Waves Abbey Road reverbs are lovely, but heavy

I didn’t like the first one but will try the sequel….
Pro-R 2 coming soon from Fabfilter
"Full immersive/Atmos support, new Vintage and Plate algorithms, built-in ducking and auto-gate, IR import and much more"
"Nope, no convolution... but better: Pro-R 2 can analyze and interpret Impulse Responses and convert them to Pro-R 2 settings, which you can simply save as a preset. And of course, you have all the freedom to adjust the sound afterwards and to apply it to Atmos if needed!"

The most important thing to remember is... Plugins are like Guitars. There's ALWAYS a good reason to buy another. You MUST have done something for which you deserve a Reward. Go ahead. Get a new Reverb. I'm presently liking the UAD Capitol Chambers but I also just bought the Fabfilter Pro R2. I'm a good guy & I deserve it, dammit![sarcasm]
I'm sure nobody has asked this question before in the history of modern music...
[/sarcasm]
...but I would like to ask it anyway. So for film scoring, what's the current consensus on the best reverb plugin, and since I'm sure that one is about ten mortgage payments for me, what's the best reverb plugin that is $300 or less?
These are the ones I own:
The ones that come with Native Instruments Komplete 14 CE:
iZotope:
Neoverb
Stratus3D
Symphony3D
Native Instruments
Raum
RC 24
RC 48
And of course there's a bunch of reverbs inside Guitar Rig 6 Pro, which can always be used for any instrument, not just guitar, although are probably more engineered for electric guitar more than anything.
The ones that come with Cubase Pro 12:
REVelation
REVerence
RoomWorks
RoomWorks SE
And I just bought Sixth Sample's Further reverb plugin, as well as Deelay PE, which may be a delay plugin primarily, but has reverb modes, and it's an enhanced version of their free Deelay plugin, which is excellent and hard to believe it's free.
I recently started downloading and playing with some of Ashton Gleckman's Hans Zimmer projects, and I see that he uses some reverbs that when I checked them out, they were like $600, and others a bit cheaper like Blackhole at $200, but I don't know if it's going to make any difference paying $200 for it as opposed to what I have.
So if you are familiar with the ones on my list, do I own anything that is worth a damn? It seems to me that Neoverb is pretty decent. I was using Chromaverb in Logic Pro X, and I really liked that one, but ever since I got Cubase Pro 12 I've been using it most of the time, and I like it much more. It seems more stable, and less prone to weird surprises. Logic got on my nerves several times, and still has a bug with keyboard focus on plugins that make it a pain to work with. I think it's a Mac M1 bug apparently.
Stratus 3D and Symphony 3D seem OK, but the interface is kind of a mess. The presets show in a way that is really confusing to work with, although they do have a lot of presets. I'm not totally sure what the difference is between them, because they look about the same.
That's all I have.
