AUDIO EASE / Altiverb 8 Regular

The industry standard, highest quality convolution reverb has become even easier to use and more multifunctional. This is the first major update in about 12 years.

■Plug-in
■Boxed version

Altiverb 8 from Audio Ease is a convolution reverb plug-in for Mac OS X. For example, if you run a vocal track through Altiverb, it will sound as if it is being sung in a famous concert hall or theater, with amazing realism. A convolution reverb is a sound effect that uses the reverberations and acoustic characteristics recorded from an actual space to function as a reverb.

Since its release in 2001, Altiverb has been recognized as having the world's highest level of spatial reproduction quality, and the variety of spaces recorded is also extensive, ranging from the Sydney Opera House to the cockpit of a jumbo jet.

In addition to famous halls, theaters and recording studios, there is a wide variety of reverbs. Cathedrals, churches, stadiums, offices, cars (Fiat, Ford, Mitsubishi and many others), kitchens, toilets, parks, outdoors, forests, caves, vintage reverb classics (L480, L2 24, RE201, etc.), steel plate and spring reverbs, piano resonators, inside vases, next door, upstairs, etc. All of these are recordings of the acoustic characteristics of actual spaces and equipment.

You can also create your own settings using a wide range of parameters, such as EQ and 3-band dump. You can even adjust which parts of the instrument are being played on the stage in the hall.

Compatible with sampling frequencies up to 96kHz. Compatible with mono/stereo tracks.
