by Michael Willis
Dragonfly Reverb was released late in 2018 and quickly became one of the most popular freeware reverb plugins. It is based on the Freeverb 3 Hibiki algorithm, which sounds incredibly convincing for a free plugin. The user interface is equally good, with easily accessible controls and direct access to all the algorithm’s parameters. The reverb covers a range of room types, from small recording rooms and studio-like spaces to small and large halls.
The room’s characteristics can be adjusted using the controls for size, width, diffusion, and other properties. You can also fine-tune the early and late reflections, stereo properties, pre-delay, and more. Dragonfly is equally effective as a mixing tool for simulating realistic rooms and a sound design utility for creating huge, artificial-sounding spaces.
