So what's up with this? I'm currently using the following Lexi PCM-91,
Roland R-880, Quantec Yardstick, Sony V-77 and have invested quite a bit in
integrating them into my rig. I like 'em or I wouldn't have done it. Will
Altiverb compare to/surpass my hardware units?What's the damage CPU-wise?
Efficient??.......hog'esque??? Would 3 or 4 different instances cause CPU
death?

will I die if I don't have it?

Tell me baby.....tell me now........I gotta' know for sure.........

;o)

regardless of sound, it looks kinda Mac-centric to me man.
How's support on the windows side might be a pretty important issue?

If you haven't purchsed three neww "killer" upgrades to your studio
since the last session, it's a must (isn't that your usual ratio?)

Altiverb is very nice and not really that heavy on modern processors. I can
easily run a dozen instances on my quad with Logic (not that I ever would).

Altiverb�s best strength is acoustic spaces like studios and concert halls.
Your reverb collection covers the other types better. I always reach for
hardware first, but generally find some useful application for convolution
reverbs.

I think Nebula will soon out-perform all standard convolution reverbs, although
the current technology is not well suited for use with percussive sources
(this may change soon).

By the time you get here, it's gonna be quite a bit different than it is
now. RME MADI system with AES 32 card being spec'ed as we speak.

Lots of stuff getting ready to be posted to the FS group pre-EBay.

Thanks Gene,

That was helpful. I'm going to be moing to 88.2 sample rates. I really
didn't think I would hear enough of a difference to make it worth my while
but there's something nice happening in the top end that is definitely
noticable,.especially on up front things like vocal tracks. The resource hit
for "ITB" stuff is getting ready to double around here and I'm looking to
integrate hardware more frequently than I already do to save resources.

Regards,

DJ

hey DJ,
I use altverb on Pc-vst and Mac/TDM &RTAS and we (I) have a great impulse
library of all of the hardware you use:

-Lex 480L
-Lex 960L
-TC 5000
-TC3000
-TC 6000
-Yard Stick
-EMT140
-EMT 250** My Favorite
-StraightGate Church's Sanctuary* My other fav.
-Yammy'sPCM(80,81,90)
-Eventide H3000
-And a host of fantastic Cathedrals, Halls, Theaters form around the world.
Although we have a nice asortment of hardware verbs, since altiverb and the
Waves IR1, we don'tuse them at all..maybe for tracking.
They (Impulses) are that good.

So does this mean you won't be able to use the UAD 33609, since it doesn't
work about 48K?

I seldom use this anyway. It's nice, but just too big a resource hog.
