Also, people tend to pull up the impulses by the name and the picture, and not the sound.there was one jazz room patch.where someone played me a demo and said "I used the xyz patch so it sounded authentic". Sometimes the key of the piece and where the orchestration is affects how good Altiverb works, because if the room has a pronounced bump somewhere (and most do), you'll get that brought out in your reverb, and that might not be nice in one key vs another. They're often either dull (in which case why bother) or single snapshots of algorithmic verbs (in which case, why not use an algorithmic verb), or they have a pronounced flavor which is great one day.and perhaps less great another. I've never found a convolution reverb that I've loved and not gone off at some point. 9 times out of 10 I now find the control of an algorithmic verb is more flexible and screws less with any phase/frequency issues (convolution verbs can really almost act like an eq, depending on how you use them, which can be awesome.or terrible). Altiverb can function well in that situation - the tails are nice and complex, so they often blend quite well, provided you're careful with the image, which can get screwed up very, very, very easily. The convolution vs algorithmic thing.well, to be honest, the very best demos I've heard have had the microphone channels split apart and the real ambience of the room at the forefront, mixed to sound pretty much great as is, often with a little sheen from an algorithmic reverb the way one generally would 5.1 or stereo mix of an orchestral score. The high pass low pass trick above is source dependent and algorithm dependent, because a lot of reverbs have that idea coded into them, and by taking it out again you might be actually sacrificing presence for just adding mid range mud. Because you can get 95% of the way there, and certainly always get to a "good" sound that way. I have to say I'm in the camp that says you should learn one reverb plugin - a good one, and you have a few of those - inside and out. Thanks in advanced for any thought on the matter. In my situation, would $500 for Altiverb 7 be worth it if I'm looking for the best large and lush software reverb available? If you don't think so, what in your opinion would come close? If I can be convinced on spending the money for Altiverb 7, I have no problem making the investment, but I sure wish they had a demo.and considering that it is on iLOK, I am surprised that there isn't a demo. I compose New Age and absolutely LOVE lush big reverbs on the various human-performed string instruments and choirs that I usually feature in my work, so I'm always on the lookout for great reverbs. I got to try an older version out 4 or 5 years ago and remember being very impressed, but once version 7 came out and was only available for Mac initially (I use a PC) I forgot all about it until recently when watching Daniel James' Altiverb 7 video. I already own many great software reverbs such as Spaces, B2, Phoenix, and Lexicon, to name a few, but now have Altiverb on my mind. Come in and see our products in person and save on shipping!
