A macrocosm of acoustic spaces
Audio Ease has traversed the world of sampling acoustics longer than anyone else in the industry — indeed, they pioneered the entire concept of a convolution reverb. Opening Altiverb 8's integrated IR browser offers concrete proof of the company's endeavors, providing you with authentic-sounding acoustic spaces from all corners of the globe. Want to transport a live band to Wembley Stadium? Place film dialogue in the ancient caves of Malta? Immerse your drum tracks in a world-famous studio's live room? With Altiverb 8, you can do all that and more using its massive built-in library of concert halls, orchestral studios, recording studios, common spaces, and even classic hardware reverbs.
A massive array of sound-shaping controls
Audio Ease's Altiverb has long remained among the industry's most commonly used convolution reverbs, and it's often our go-to plug-in here at Sweetwater. Aside from Altiverb's extensive IR library, one of the main reasons for its longevity is its powerful reverb-shaping controls. With Altiverb 8, you get precise control over your reverb's decay, brightness, damping, and stage positioning. You also get a musical-sounding 4-band equalizer, plus fine control over your reverb's size, pre-delay, and attack parameters. Altiverb 8 gives you easy access to special effects, including reverse, modulated, and gated reverbs. You also get a built-in mixer that allows you to really dial in the sound of your spaces.
