In this article, I focused on a fairly comprehensive list of free reverb VST plugins, and again, you’re the one to decide which is the best, or suits you and your needs.

Fruity Reeverb 2 can create lush and smooth reverberations of up to 20 seconds duration and is the most sophisticated reverb in the FL Studio stable. Alternatives to Fruity Reeverb 2 are Fruity Reeverb and Fruity Convolver. NOTE: Reverb is one of those effects that is easy to overdo in a mix, creating a washed out and 'muddy' sound.

A reverb effect, in brief, is how a sound is reflected off different surfaces before reaching the listener’s ear.

The reverb has become an essential part of the music producer’s tools, playing a vital role in modern music productions. Used with care and particularly with knowledge, it may be your best friend, simply turning the mix in a real gem; but if not used properly, it can completely alter the mix, in the best case making everything sound like karaoke. :)

The reverb is perfect to enhance or modify the sound to seem larger, distant or ambiental. But that does not mean it can be used anywhere and anyhow, for example avoid using it on a kick drum, the result will be muddy and destructive for the other sounds in the mix, there are other treatments for this, like compression and EQ’ing. Nonetheless, there is not a general rule in music production, as long as what you create sounds good and doesn’t give headaches to the listener.

Our list of 21 best free reverb VST plugins:

TAL-Reverb-4 (Windows/Mac, VST/AU) by Togu Audio Line is an easy-to-use reverb plugin drawn from the high quality reverb implemented in TAL-Sampler.

Freezechamber (Windows, VST) by Synthescience was designed to be a straightforward reverb processor to bring that desirable spacious touch into your tracks with minimal tweaks. The Freeze switch enables the user at any moment (while the Verb is processing) to hold the process into a suspended state that tonewise may resemble some sort of synth tone.
