TC Electronic DVR2
Digital Vintage Reverb for PowerCore

Introduction
The DVR2 Digital Vintage Reverb is another great professional reverb ported from the revered System 6000. It is available as a plug-in for ProTools and PowerCore.

TC Electronic has put much effort into preserving the qualities of the original processor, including sweet modulation, spectral balance, spaciousness and saturation. But not only is DVR2 the most precise EMT250 emulation up to now, it also emulates its predecessor in the way parameters interact for different settings. DVR2 comes with customizable presets, focus fields for tweaking and navigation, and a built-in preset converter allowing seamless import of DVR2 presets from System 6000.

With the DVR2 for ProTools and PowerCore, it is now possible to save processing power on the System 6000 for other tasks - the choice is yours.

The vintage reset function produces a sound very close to a well preserved EMT250, which is still a favorite on lead vocal in studios fortunate enough to own one. The high resolution parameters allow for lower noise, extension of bandwidth, and control of the amount of chorusing.

The PowerCore version of the plug-in can be used with any VST, AU or RTAS* compatible audio system.

*) RTAS (ProTools) is supported via the VST to RTAS adapter from FXpansion (optional).

The Reverb Type
DVR2 offers a pristine generic reverb with true vintage flavor. Generic Reverb is complementary to Source Reverb.

You can read more about generic reverb below, but the term is used to describe a flattering sustain effect, which can be added to many sources of a mix. It produces little character but also does no harm, because the effect is blurred or washed out. Instead, it adds a good sense of spaciousness and more or less pronounced modulation.


Generic Reverb
Generic reverb is primarily a flattering sustain effect which can be added to many sources of a mix, or a complete stereo or multi-channel stem. It adds little character but also does no harm, because the effect is blurred or washed out.

If early reflections are offered, there are only few of them and they play a rudimentary role. Therefore, a strong localization is not imposed on the signal, which is what you want when one reverb is used on many sources.
For a graphical artist, the equivalent tool to generic reverb would be a paintbrush.
