A few things on saturation and stereo widening

[BevOh]

Just wondering if anyone has any good tutorials or reading on these?
And also what are some good plugins, free and paid.

And what is your favourite reverb plug in?

Thanks!

When it comes to reverb, I've always used Abletons default reverb plugin, I think it's brilliant tbh.

For saturation, PSP vintage warmer is pretty much where it's at

it is good, totally not deserving of the stick it gets but i've gone onto using the oxford native reverb.

For free Reverb plugs, I like both the TAL Reverb and MVerb a lot. Both better than the Ableton native verb IMO.

as saturators go i use cyanide2 (free) and the bundled ableton saturator (which i like a lot for some reason) exclusively

i find that saturation handles similar to compression in that you don't want to be using it on real noisy audio or deep bass

I've found this also. For some reason my reverbs in that just seem to come out naturally warmer and more "natural" than others I've used, including Toraverb. The only other reverb I've used that I'd put ahead of it - is NI's reflektor, part of the reaktor fx plugins (either that or guitar rig, can never remember).
