I have had Altiverb for almost a month and had enough time to try it with some orchestral material and some pop songs with guitars and vocals. There are plenty of enthusiasts that have sampled some great real spaces, same as some legendary reverb hardware pieces. After all, €499 EUR for the regular version and €849 EUR for XL is quite a big price, and after all, convolution reverbs are all about the impulse responses (known as IRs) from real places which you can even get for free if you google a bit. Of course, as convolution reverbs can be found in almost every DAW, not to mention that there are also a dozen third party convolution reverbs around for a quite reasonable price (ranging from $100 to $200 USD), you probably asked yourself, as I did before I got it, whether Altiverb 7 is worth the price. I assume you’ve already heard about Altiverb, a studio standard. Do you really need a convolution reverb that costs upwards of 500 Euros? Our reviewer seems to think that with Altiverb 7, the answer unfortunately is “absolutely”.
