hi im new to scope and am looking at reverbs such as masterverb pro and p100 because everyone seams to be talking about them but my question is what reverbs are good for invidual tracks and whats good for a mixdown?same question for eq's

Difficult question, indeed, put like that.

Similar to asking "what spices are good with food?"

I generally don't verb the whole mix unless going for a special treatment, and that would probably be A100.

MV is a clear & clean sounding verb, Warps are lush & musical.

Too many reverbs in a mix is analogous to overdoing the condiments in a dish...

well put.

either reverb is good for putting on an aux bus. they have different vibes and it depends on what you like. you'll have to play with them. the same goes for eqs. lately, i've used the DAS vintage bundle quite a bit, but the stock PE4 is very good, too, so is wolf's eq and ISON. all are different flavors.

They're good for whatever your ears tell you they're good for. Warp69's P-100 & A-100 are a good choice on Scope for many reverberation tasks, be it drums, vocals, synths or even mastering.

Yes agreed , the P100 and A100 sound very nice, I like the MasterVerbs as well .
I'd suggest collecting and using even the "cheap" reverbs ( same way with microphones ) they can add that special bit of colour sometimes .
