Thanks Synthetic.
I've read that v.1.4 has some new algorithm to help with stage positioning so that's a plus. 1.4 is also VST3 compatible so it can do surround. I don't need this but i thought I'd mention it.
But what bugs me about this reverb is that it comes with a dongle and you need to pay a second time(20% off) if you want to install it on a second computer. It's not gonna prevent me from buying it but i don't like it.
Anyone else did the a/b comparison with Briscati?
I'm not too impressed by these IRs made by "Studiodevices." They really don't compare to the real Bricasti, which sounds incredible. Furthermore, it's a little sketchy and in very poor taste to copy the real Bricasti so unabashedly. Not only do they completely rip off the case design, but they also call it "Bree Casedy?"...come on.
BTW, you're probably one of those who uses Altiverb right? They sampled a whole Lexicon unit so how is that different?
Yes, Altiverb is one of the options I turn to for reverb. I don't have a problem with the sampling of Lexicon or other hardware units (Bricasti included) as long as it's legal. I honestly don't know whether it is or isn't legal, but I assume that a company as reputable as Audioease would have explored this and found it to be legal to make the IRs they have included. My problem with "Bree Casedy" is not necessarily that they've sampled the unit (again, as long as it's legal). My problem is that that they're advertising and pushing their product by relying on brand confusion and I find that to be in poor taste. The picture they have on their site is a clear rip-off of the face design of the Bricasti and their name "Bree Casedy" is a clear rip-off as well. I happen to know that the developers of the Bricasti were not aware of "Bree Casedy" until after its release when someone brought it to their attention on another forum.
[...] taking an IR of a unit only reflects a small part of what that unit can do, 20-50% IMO. [...]Just to avoid confusion, one should add that an IR is (ideally) 100% true to its origin in a LINEAR SYSTEM (like a real room without any air turbulances, moving doors etc.). Any NON-LINEAR-SYSTEM like most if not all algorithmic reverb engines, OTOH, can't be captured by an IR at all, by definition. So the figure of "20-50%" is maybe a good estimation. 😊
I've deleted the link because frankly I'm not sure about thsi pruduct anymore. I think it might be a complet fraud. I'm not goig to explain why but i just don't want to be responsible for advertising this product. I'll come bach if i find more info but for now i think people should be careful.
This is not what was trying to imply, but thank for your precautions, anyway.I've deleted the link because frankly I'm not sure about thsi pruduct anymore. I think it might be a complet fraud.

Hi Dietz,[:)]
Actually i read your post and made note of it but that's not why i deleted it. The thing is i have good reasons to believe these impulses may not come from big expensive reverb as advertised. Just before i ordered, i loaded a free donation ware just to make sure... And i came way too close to the sound of that plugin and I'm not even good at this. The tail sounded identical at times. Now as i said, I'm really not an engineer so i will not go further just to make sure i don't offend anyone but if i had to chose I'd say these impulses comes from that donation ware. A good donation ware that i like BTW. [;)]
They got me fooled there for a while! [:D]Well I always wondered about that myself. I'm not sure what you were comparing the Bree-Casedy to, but it never sounded anything like our M7. The only similarity was the basic envelope of decay, (close). I did contact them and they seemed very nice, I did not challenge them, but personally, I suspected that they were not derived from the M7.
It is typical though of plugin convolution reverbs to capture just the decay envelope and little of the character of the reverb. This is because they must take dramatic short cuts to get them to run on an Intel platform. If you have ever heard the Sony 777 which performs convolution without the short cuts, you will know what I mean. So it is hard to be definitive.
Your discovery is very interesting to me however, I will try to duplicate it myself. I would love to put a good set of M7 IRs in the public domain, because I do think that they can be useful, and we must always be mindful that todays user looking for inexpensive reverb solutions may someday decide that they would like a more expensive solution if by good fortune they are successful in their craft.

Hi Marcus,
I'm still very much interested in their product so that's great to hear. I was a little worried about this unknow compagny back then so i decided to edit my post just to be sure. But i don't think that makes much sense now.
About modulation, you can modulate these impulses if you use their plugin Reflexions LE. I didn't really try thoug.
I always tough the mp3 example on their website sounded VERY good. and they have 2 new reverb pack now so thats interesting.
I'm going to buy some of these impulses eventually, it's just that I'm broke now...
