I don't even know why I bought Lexicon PCM. I own the exact same ones you listed and find myself only ever using PhoenixVerb or Spaces. I mean, this is Gearslutz, so I totally get you, but are you really at a point where your current reverbs fall dramatically short of giving you the sound you want? I can't really imagine that. Is it possible that you simply want Altiverb, but you don't actually need it even the slightest bit? I would argue you already have more than you need. It seems to me that with QL Spaces, PhoenixVerb, B2, and Lexicon PCM, you already have some of the best reverb plug-ins money can buy. By the way, I always record both the mic'ed and DI'ed signals at the same time whenever possible so I have options during mix down. I will go as far and say that sometimes recording a performance DI'ed only and they recreating the signal chain ITB sounds better that throwing a mic or two at a speaker cabinet. Now isn't that cool in that you can put a guitar cabinet in the same space that Martin Barre, Jimmy Page and a ton of other great classic sounds were recorded.ĪV7 is my first choice for create AIR in my mixes. Audio Ease has sampled the big room, the drum room and the control room. Which used to be Island Studio BASING street. Since we are music guys and not FOLEY artists, I would like to focus on the studio and stage IRs that they have sampled.Īn example is SARM WEST. These spaces are from around the world and include a ton of categories. The difference maker for me is the extensive library of IRs that you get with the product.
#Altiverb 7 demo software
So, there are a ton of IR software out there. Very important, if you want to keep different verbs tweakable during the mixing process. I just had to add this: compared to other reverb plug-ins I have used - some of them mentioned in this thread - it's less CPU hungry. You have modulation options, shelf/ bell EQ, tempo-based pre-delay/ temp-based gate blah blah blah The browser is just great! You'll find the preset you are looking for in a minute. I have both, and I have to say, I don't use the LX480 anymore since I got Altiverb 7. I know, I know! Altiverb is not coming even close to the gear-emulating plug-ins, you might say now, like LX480 etc. It's very handy, gives you room sims, ambiences, lush reverbs, gated-option, classic reverb gear IRs. Sure, you can get convo-verbs for a much lower price with insane quality, but Altiverb combines everything you need for your reverb arsenal in one plug-in.
#Altiverb 7 demo license
I got a demo license and a download link and enough time to fall in love with it! Write an email to the support, and tell them that you are looking for the best reverb, but need to demo Altiverb to test user experience, cpu performance and stuff before you invest 500$!
#Altiverb 7 demo trial
You can get a trial version from Audioease.
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.
#Altiverb 7 demo for mac
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. When Audio Ease is not tweaking a filter or fixing their backup server, they are likely out there sampling a bus station or an antique telephone.I have been contemplating Altiverb 7 for some time, but since it is on the higher spectrum of software reverb prices, I am struggling to make a decision if it is worth the investment. Basically: sound files in the Mac Finder are never again closed. It not only holds samples of virtually every speaker imaginable, but also combines it with environmental sounds, static, sirens etc, to complete the image. Speakerphone is a much younger product seeking to be the definitive speaker simulator. Convolution reverb creates reverb based on samples of the real world: Sydney Opera House, the Gol Gumbaz of india, or the company bathroom. They are best known for Altiverb, the first and highest regarded convolution reverb. Audio Ease are a group of music- and audio software developers based in Utrecht the Netherlands.
