NaturalVerb

I have some older songs from when I had Wavelab Essential, which included a plugin called Natural Verb. Now that I am using Cubase 9 64 bit I need an alternative. Is there a setting in Roomworks or other 64 bit VST that can simulate the presets in NaturalVerb?

Don’t know what Natural Verb is but “natural” sounds like convolution. Try Reverence:

Nice thought but it was rather an algorithmic reverb. This was the best screenshot I could find:

Reinstall that version of Wavelab Essential…and use a VST Wrapper to use that plugin in Cubase(I’m assuming it’s a 32bit plug).

“Reinstall that version of Wavelab Essential…and use a VST Wrapper to use that plugin in Cubase(I’m assuming it’s a 32bit plug).”

Actually I have the plugin working in a copy of Cubase 8.5 running in 32 bit. In transitioning to C9 64 bit I have found many of my VST’s in 64 bit. I was hoping to avoid a VST Wrapper, but I might give that a try. There is one particular preset in NaturalVerb that I use for podcasting. Spoken Voice warmth.

Which wrapper to you recommend?

I’ve used jBridge with success but it’s been a while :slight_smile:

Hello Philippe, is there a 64bit version of NaturalVerb available? If not, which reverb did you recommend to your customers at the time of transition?

This plugin was in WaveLab decades ago. It has been replaced with plug-ins such as RoomWorks.

After reading Philippe’s reply you have two options: Use a wrapper or find nice settings in RoomWorks (or any other reverb plugin) by ear. Since NaturalVerb did not have any “magic” in it, just some good algorithms, you should be able to get an equally pleasing sound out of RoomWorks.

I agree. I didn’t know if there was anyone here who found a direct substitute for the presets in Natural Verb. I happen to appreciate the simplicity of this one.

I used to be a fan of this reverb. Back when it came out it was the best reverb plugin from Steinberg. For simplicity you can see if RoomWorks SE already does what you need.

If you compare the parameters of NaturalVerb to RoomWorks you will see that they are relatively close to each other.

I’ll keep fingers crossed for you that you find your sound.
