As I reminder, Logic Pro for Mac comes with the following reverb plugin effects:

• ChromaVerb

• EnVerb

• Quantec Room Simulator

• SilverVerb

• Space Designer

For completeness, Logic Pro 11 comes with other legacy reverbs and effects ( hold down Option whilst clicking on an Insert slot

Included ( for legacy compatibility) Averb, Goldverb, Platinum verb

macOS also includes a bunch of FX plugins ( available under the Audio Units > Apple menu)

Specifically: AUMatrixReverb, AUReverb2

Plenty to 'go at'

I see what you mean on "ChromaVerb" but if you only use it for Reverb Throws, that alone is worth it.

I really like these Impulse Responses: https://www.echothief.com/downloads/

Simply drop the folder in this location:

MAC/Library/Audio/Impulse Responses

After that, you locate them like this:

Hope they work for you.

Hi there,

For me, it is not about the tools but "who" is using the tools and "how" they were using them as well.

I do not have any rules when mixing and give myself plenty of room to land on things but as far as Logic's offering...

I truly 💙 Chromaverb. It has a great lush sound and just works in most cases especially when you go into the "Details" tab. I mostly use it a a send rather on the channel strip. You can create some Grand spaces with this thing. I love the "Freeze" function.

I like "Quantec" for vocals as it has an 80's sound to it. I like Space Designer for "real" spaces and "real or organic" instruments such as snare, guitars, etc.

Don't really use the other verbs. Curious to hear other peoples thoughts and workflows....

Silver Verb is a simple low-cpu reverb. Enverb has an ADSR-envelope feature. Space Designer is capable of loading impulse responses, this is nice, especially when you’ve created them. Chromaverb is modern high class reverb, that can cost some cpu. I haven’t used quantum.

Space Designer is also interesting if I can find any good pre-made IRs online to import to it (maybe someone already has created a good IR for it for singing vocals that would provide a good starting point). (...)

Some thoughts:

1. Space Designer comes with a lot of "good pre-made IRs" and presets.
2. You can find many Impulse Responses in the internet, just search. EddieGrey's great link to echothief is only one of many. Some or better some or not, some come with a lovely documentation including pictures, others don't. Some are free, some are not...
3. After you've understood, how to import ready-made IR's, you can create IR's yourself. Either by recording real spaces with the help of the built-in IR Utility (see the picture in the end of this reply) or – if your are interested in sound design – simply by loading random samples into Space Designer. This could be crushed plastic bags or cat meows...
4. There is no / there are many "good IR(s) for singing vocals". This is always a matter of taste and context. This is the reason why there are so many different plugins available, even just in Logic. Look at CCTMusic's reply. And sometimes a "cheap" SilverVerb is THE solution.
