#Altiverb trial windows#
European vendors in particular tend to have Mac-unfriendly websites, as they have way more Windows dominance than we in the US. I don't always go back to a site that I've had problems with earlier (whether the site itself, or the products on it).
I'm going to look into the latest CSR demo as well. I think it is clear now that one could use Altibverb as the only reverb (perhaps after sampling the IR's of one's favourite hardware boxes). I hadn't bothered looking at it since I knew I couldn't run it. As my wife says: (with a big Texas drawl) "honey, do you have to be the exception to *every* rule?"ĭan, thanks for the lowdown on Altiverb 6. (I do loves me some modulated tails, I do!)Īnd if I'm doing something warranting the construction of a really huge ambient space, I've built an array of reverbs in Reaktor that are utterly ridiculous. But really, even the plate IRs didn't sound as good on my voice as the IK CSR plate. The spaces didn't feel as "live" or "fluid" (yes, these are subjective terms, hence the quotes.) as I hoped they would be.ĭunno if it's the nature of what I write, or the way I sing or what. 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.
#Altiverb trial install#
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. 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.
