I just found the spaces to be oddly "flat" or "boxy". Granted, it was mostly version 4 used, but I demoed V5 and still wasn't blown away for *my* purposes. I went back to hardware-white noise and all. And then I stopped using it because I could never get quite the sound I wanted. I downloaded a demo and thought it was cool, then I (true confessions) "found" a copy and lots of IRs, etc etc. Umm, hi Shoosh, that would be me.again.Īctually, it's precisely why I don't love Altiverb. Does anyone install it and then decide that it just doesn't live up to expectations? Have you downloaded the extensive library of impulse responses? Altiverb never made me want to run away with it and get married. Does anyone install it and then decide that it just doesn't live up to expectations? Have you downloaded the extensive library of impulse responses? I can understand people's skepticism when they haven't tried it, but saying goodbye to Altiverb would be like saying goodbye to a whole line of the greatest looking women on earth, all madly in love with you and willing to cook, clean, and finance your studio. How many of the people who still champion the other (older) choices have actually installed Altiverb on their machines and used it, then rejected it? I can't imagine someone trying it out on a fast machine and saying "Naaaaw, Altiverb just doesn't cut it for me. So, When I say that I understand some people's desire to stay with what they have, I mean it.īut. Now, I can run Altiverb right alongside everything else, and there's no problem, so I'm really just discovering the incredible depth of Altiverb "again for the first time." Previously, I used MOTU or Waves verbs until that final moment wen I'd install Altiverb on the 2-track, and they were quite handy. Hopefully they don't let that detail negatively affect such an incredible work.Before I got my Intel MacPro, I had to conserve CPU at every corner, so Altiverb was this final stage I dreamed about until I finished a piece of music and was ready to bounce it to 2-track. I also read Cubase wants to discard Vst2 in a while. Which is very annoying because I want to use it in StudioRack on a parallel processing bus so I can process it separately without having to duplicate the track or use a fx or group track. (EDIT: Support confirmed that vst3 is coming + top priority, but no date) Can make it sound a bit fuzzy/noisy and almost synthetic though sometimes.ĪND. It does exactly what it says, but in an interesting, deep and natural way, rather than just boosting the high end. The brightness knob at the bottom is another cool one to play around with. If the tail is 30 ms it can happen after 30 ms, so keep an eye on that and maybe don't crank it up *that* much. The longer the tail the easier to miss this. However at such a high (maximum) value it can cut of a bit abrubtly as it reaches it's end. That way more of the detail of the long tail is audible rather than fading to silence. I put reverb time/length to 150% which seems to compress/boost the volume of the tail. A huge post production convolution engine with a ridiculous amount of great sounding spaces and oddities.)
