Delay and echo plugin for Cubase

Hey guys,

I am looking for a free plugin for delay and echo, what is built in in Cubase is not really that great. I used to have a real stomp box for my guitar that had so many options, surely someone has made something similar as a plugin...? Any suggestions?

Cheers :)

Hey Tee !

There are thousands of "free" vst plugins and i concede it's very hard to decide for one with such a large choice !

my advice would be to start with a page reviewing plugins or at least compiling a list of plugins by genre such as this one :

Very good link from Oliv, thanks for that my friend :) Of the ones mentioned, I can recommend both the TAL and the DragonFly reverbs, the latter takes more CPU, so I'm mostly using TAL (in a separate channel in the DAW to which I route).

One of my favourite delays is the Calf Vintage Delay, but http://calf-studio-gear.org/ is for Linux only; sorry...

A propos Linux: on these (like with a music distro on a bootabel USB stick for tests) you would also have things like guitarix or Rackarrak - so if you have the time to play around, give them a try...

P.S.: if you try a reverb plugin in a different channel like mentioned above, you can also apply some eq or at least a bit of a high pass filter to avoid the reverb getting "muddy" - I use that all the time even on fretless bass, where I don't like reverb under something like 200Hz too much...

OK, i'll have a look, thanks :) Question: Why do I need to route it, what is the advantage of doing that rather than applying it to whatever track I want, or even to a section of a track?

Like I said/wrote, if you have separate effects channel(s), you can eq them all accordingly, without for instance taking out the lows from your guitar (or vocals or other instrument(s)) - so for soli in the higher registers of my instrument I can have some chorus and reverb for instance, without affecting the lows... (the bass itself isn't eq'ed that much, only the reverb and chorus are) - does that make sense, I mean could I explain it a bit better that way?

Of course you have all the other options like fader automation etc. for that track separated as well then...

Like Wolfgang said a Bus approach to delays and reverbs (instead of Aux if you add it on a specific track) gives you the option to adjust eq and dynamics very easily and specifically to the Bus you are handling. I would add to the list many other advantages like you can route to this bus any other track as well that you you can send in various amounts - very interesting to set a general reverb for a piece so any track is grounded in the same kind of space - which doesn't mean you couldn't add a specific reverb on a track as an aux either ;)

It is also much more convenient to mix and adjust levels this way without altering your source signal !

Bus or Aux is a choice that impacts a mix deeply and depends on your goals as to each effect ... both are valid routes ;)

Valhalla Supermassive is awesome.
