As the Fusion-IR impulse responses are large files, LiquidSonics provides a starter collection of presets in each category, with a much larger collection available via two separate downloads. Seventh Heaven tackles this neatly by presenting an interface that provides a rapid software equivalent: pick a reverb algorithm type and then a specific preset within that category. One of the M7’s most popular features is its stripped-back workflow.
All of which adds up to a detailed and, crucially, evolving reverb. To tackle this issue, LiquidSonics developed Fusion-IR, a proprietary technology to track the behaviour of a reverb through its early reflections into its true reverb stage. It’s a detailed image of a moment in time but not necessarily representative of the story it’s taken from. In that regard, Seventh Heaven shoots for the sky.Īs LiquidSonics explains on its website, you can think of capturing an impulse response as the equivalent of taking a still from a film. So why would you need Seventh Heaven? Because a single snapshot of a processor’s possible sonic footprint is never going to provide an evolving, deep, rich and truly satisfying experience. It’s not tough to find M7 impulse responses online, which can be loaded into convolution reverbs to provide a flavour of the hardware’s capabilities. The M7 somehow manages to be a perfect spatial fit for all kinds of productions. Why? Natural, lush, smooth, transparent, effortless. This streamlined single-rack unit looks unassuming enough but it’s now a modern classic, finding popularity among a diverse range of audio professionals, from pop and film score mix engineers to those in post-production facilities and more. It’s the Professional version we’re looking at here.īefore we can start assessing Seventh Heaven Professional’s sound, we need to better acquaint ourselves with the M7 hardware itself.
Available in two forms – standard (simply entitled Seventh Heaven) and Professional – this plug-in attempts the seemingly impossible, which is to bring the coveted character of the Bricasti M7 hardware reverb unit to life as a software plug-in.
