I got this plugin a couple weeks ago and it has seriously changed my workflow. It strikes a perfect balance of creative simplicity and technical control. It’s good to know I made a good purchase, and I am not just childishly excited about a new plug-in
Baby Audio really hit a homerun with this one. Sounds great, looks great and so easy to dial in. Been using it for everything THE last few weeks (except when I need some plate reverb).
I just bought this and right out of the gate … I said… “wow… whoa… this is so rich and gorgeous “. I had it on edge of break up guitar. This is going to inspire over and over again.
I saw in a baby audio stream that they leave the discounts on the newest product until the next new plugin is released. I bought this one right away and I love it!
I truly love the way Crystaline sounds as well as the user experience of operating it. It is very rare that I find a plugin fun to operate and Crystaline takes the cake. It's fun to use, the sound quality is fantastic, and I can get what I want from it. Win - win - win. My goto reverb by a long shot and I have a metric ton of them.
I've been watching their teasers and ads because I genuinely love that these guys make unique stuff that sounds excellent, and their marketing for this has been TERRIBLE compared to how freaking cool the product is. One ad is literally like... a single marimba hit. What am I supposed to know from a single marimba hit lol. Thank you for this!!!
nope, if you mean to tell people like me spending 3 years soley on a plugin, working hard, then dont tell people like me what we have to do for you. i disagree with commanding around. aslong as you keep it an oppinion, ok.. to tell people f...k your algorythm is not nice at all. People arent whiteseas workers, they work on their plugins, and thats about it.. People like whitesea can then test it out, as most plugins have a testversion, so they can easily find out if they like it or not. there is nothing wrong with giving people a goodsounding plugin with in his oppinion "bad interface". nothing.. Cause i worked on my own effect, and its not like very easy.. im telling you its not.. and often once you really managed to create a better sound than others, and then youre tired.. you dont wanna spend time on interface stuff.. its not like super easy.. its just that youre tired then, so :; i disagree with whitesea telling f--k my algorith, because i care about sound.. and only about sound. Cause im audiphile,
That "Start" fader really do make those drums groove didnt saw that in any plugin really and yes i know what a pre delay is but this sounds so different than a simple pre delay
I really love Spaced Out, which I think is also Baby Audio, since it has a very similar intuitive UI. Generate from Newfangled Audio is my favorite modular synth plugin atm, as it also has very nice visuals alongside its sleak UI, helping me understand the waveforms created.
I just found this video, looking around for reverb plug-ins. I’m sorry you damaged your desk but dude, you are funny and smart as hell. Really enjoy your point of view. Subscribing now. 👍🏾
My "Go To" is generally Valhalla verbs for quick good results. I would like to hear an A/B between Crystalline and Seventh Heaven (The Bricasti M7 emulation, you know, only like one of the best hardware reverb units ever made).
Your so right about the importance of UI. Knobs can be ok too but the most important thing is how the layout is prioritized. For example in Valhalla Vintage verb, every single thing is something I often tweak, and lowpass and high pass are so handy right there. Fabfilter is the king of EQ, but the same philosophy doesn’t add so much to Pro-R. Endless graph possibilities won’t matter if I just dial things faster with valhalla. Crystalline looks great! Cool little innovations
wow man, i've played a bit with this verb plugin and had fun, but wasnt sure if i felt it was gimmicky. obviously a lot of plug-ins push their 'cool' UI's but how they affect the sound is the actual end goal so that should really be ignored. but hearing you talk about those features really reassured me that this, and kind of by extension, a few other BabyAudio plugins are actually really worth it.
Tails by Unfiltered Audio was another one like this that just came out, would be interesting to see what you think of it as well. It's definitely not perfect as I'm pretty sure there are some bugs but personally still preferred it to Crystaline. Crystaline definitely does certain things a lot better though.
Wow! I have to admit that I've already watched a few demos about this plugin and honestly I thought it was just another bloody reverb. But your demonstration of the timing sync convinced me. I'm in!
I have Valhalla Room. Right off the top of my head this would be better for instant gratification and the great tempo synced start/end, whereas Valhalla gives me more granularity especially the verb EQ multipliers which is really a unique feature that this one does not seem to have, and a very convenient way to remove some wishy-washy without changing all the setup
A few more years and we get synths and gear with touch controlled oled buttons just like these. Not sure if I would want it but its the direction we're heading for sure.
My only nit-pick with this plugin was the naming/categorizing of the presets. You need to scroll through a bunch of first and last names of people I've never heard of to find their creations (presets). It would be much more useful to have the presets listed as maybe... • Gutar • Vocal • Drums • Percussion... ...then just tag the user after the name. This current setup adds extra confusion to a reverb plugin that (in a lot of ways) has removed most other reverb confusions.
Bitching about UI is really important as we look to you as to how useable this stuff is. I really like their stuff and even bought this before trying it. 😂 So of course now I’m near to learn more about cool applications. 😊
It looks simple enough to use. Mostly I use Roomworks SE that only has some knobs with some numbers. I always audition a few presets and stick with the one I like the best. Baby Audio’s design looks quite nifty and different.
I love your style and Yes, I own this plugin and love the simple, intuative interface. It's 49 us dollars well spent and might just be my new, go to algorithmic reverb. Ok maybe tied with Evantide's Black Hole.
I have been using for some time now. My favourite reverb now. Can be very cpu consuming though. I wish you could lock the ducker settings just like you can do with dry/wet.
I got Tails (Unfiltered Audio's & Brian Transeau's (BT's )reverb that has similar uses - but this has the most comprehensive and transparent-to-user interface on a reverb that I have seen. I'm unfortunately going to spend money on it because apparently I can't get enough of certain types of plugins. Tails is cool. I don't know if you saw it. For me it is producing unpredictable artifacts on certain types of input (wide spectrum sounds like acoustic piano), despite my tries to find workarounds. Plugin Alliance denies it :D It does work fine on more narrow spectral content,. You can tilt the response away from the low mids and that seems to avoid them (the artifacts, which are essentially like sputtering reverberation, rather than smoothly decaying reverb). Anyway, you could do a review of tails and see if you also hear those artifacts. Maybe then Unfiltered Audio/Plugin Alliance Support will address it... I will momentarily hit "purchase" on Crystalline on Plugin Boutique, plus the free item in my cart.
4:03 the analog equivalent to this type of control would be a capacitive sensor (or capsense). These pick up the location of your finger through your finger's capacitance. Only issue with this though is that they're typically used to interface digital signals, so a capsense device would require a digital interface to control the analog signals. Could be very possible though!
@@lilDaveist yea it’s just Pre delay but how is it 2022 and companies are just starting to sync the pre delay and decay times to the BPM automatically? This seems so simple but it’s a game changer for newbies. I remember the first time I discovered the mathematical equation for calculating this stuff on my own and thought “why don’t plugins just do this for me?”
Really interesting video, all videos I saw regarding this plugin before didn't convince too much of this plugin since my collection is already pretty refined and fitting my production and mixing style. I would be very interested what you think about Digitalis by Abberrant DSP (of whom you already reviewed two plugins), since it managed to put a big smile on my face the first time I used it myself.
I don't understand the excitement about the "fader" potentiometer, because all potentiometers, even those that look like a turning knob, actually "turn" by raising and lowering the cursor, just like a fader. :)
I tend to avoid buying new plugins when i already have really good ones. but i bought this one anyway after checking out some more videos on it. at the current price its a steal.
@@levondarratt787 already used it in a project. its really cool. and the features to clean up the reverb works wonders. i find this to be best where you want a short warm and intimate sounding reverb.
@@levondarratt787 A litle follow up. This has become my go to reverb becasue it almost always get me the result i want. and i have a bunch of reverb plugins i have collected throughout the years.

This is my favorite BabyAudio plugin! I was lucky enough to design a few presets for them (they are included in the factory presets)! 🥳

this is the perfect reverb for automating. the “start” fader breathes some really interesting life into the drums.
isnt the function of "start" just the same as delay?
@@arqelf9505 maybe just pre-delay in other reverbs, but through my iphone speakers it seems like early reflections were involved too

Baby Audio really hit a homerun with this one. Sounds great, looks great and so easy to dial in. Been using it for everything THE last few weeks (except when I need some plate reverb).
What do you use for plate reverb?
Interesting that it can produce such a wide array of sounds but not a simple plate lol
I’m a huge fan of BabyAudio and Denise Audio - I think they’re doing great work and yes, I think Crystaline is really fun to use (and sounds great).
I just bought this and right out of the gate … I said… “wow… whoa… this is so rich and gorgeous “. I had it on edge of break up guitar. This is going to inspire over and over again.

This is a must buy for me. That dark mode is something I need in my arsenal.

I dig the dark mode in anything and everything
Yes!! The UI and control layout puts this reverb above the rest!
That may just be the coolest plugin demo i've seen so far. Btw thanks for making me chuckle XD

As a reply to 06:04 - the 7th Heaven Professional reverb from Liquid Sonics has a sync function for the pre-delay
so cool!!! loving the sync mode!!! thanks for this review
Can another plugin do that? Sure. Melda. But that's not a big surprise, is it? However I do admit: The user interface of this one is VERY intuitive.
Ofcourse Melda 😅
