But I think that this plugin has more advantages for post-production, or recording/ mixing engineers that need IRs to put their recorded instruments and drums in a certian type of room. Sometimes I just need to make a dip for that string in the upper mids, you know.ĭon't get me wrong, Altiverb 7 has awesome IRs. The built-in EQ of Altiverb 7 is good enough for some high and low passing, but that's it.
I usually send the send signal of each instrument through a dedicated bus with an EQ slapped on the channel to tweak the EQ settings for each element differently before all elements hit one (or two) Reverb unit. In my last productions I've always ended up using the Sydney Opera IR for instruments and groups. You can search with key words, and the pics give you a nice visual support to get closer to the right preset. NelsonActually the IR browser is IMO the best out there.
Or is it that a lot of the rooms just don't sound good?Īs for the right EQ setting, is this something specific to Altiverb, or is it a problem you face will any type of convolution reverb? Was it difficult to find the right IR within Altiverb because Altiverb isn't very descriptive when it comes to a room or environment description (in other words, how some rooms are better for drums, while other are better for guitars)?
