I realise this is an older thread, but I had meant to chime in earlier then forgot.
Of all of Variety of Sound’s wonderful plugins — and I have and regularly use them all — the epicVerb is the most troublesome. Not only does it have the tendency to crash the works (it used to lock up my Cubase solid!), you should note that every factory preset on epicVerb comes with the volume level on output set to a dangerously high level. I’m talking high enough to damage ears and speakers quickly. Who knows why.
I fired up epicVerb recently after months of disuse precisely because of that reason. Last month I made the wise decision to ditch this plugin for good (barring, of course, the possibility that Bootsy may finally update this one too and fix all problems).
Now, obviously, you could suggest that we all simply go into Presets, reduce the volume output to something sane and then Save, but I think I’ve just had it with this plug. I’ve had other issues with this plugin, too, as others have obviously in the half dozen threads I have seen about it. Strange to say, but I find its reverb, tails, parameters, etc., to be too much of a good thing — constant overkill. Yes, I could go fix these as well, but for all this trouble I might as well choose any of several I like much better. I find, for example, even the free permanent demo version of Ambience to be a much more usable reverb. So don’t shed a tear if you find epicVerb too much trouble to bother with, and choose to move on to the many other freebies available.
