the presets don't show up for VRoom 1.10 in Live 8.3, using the Mac (32bit obviously since Ableton ain't quite there yet) VST.

unless of course I'm a dummy and they were never there...
My guess is that this has something to do with the permissions settings on your machine,...

A quick fix would be to download the current presets folder from

http://www.valhalladsp.com/room/Valhall ... V1_1_0.zip

This should result in all of the "VALHALLA PRESETS" being visible in the Presets popup menu when you click on the name of the active preset in the GUI.

If you have any additional issues, feel free to PM or email me.

Sean -
After this message I'l take the issue to PM - I just want others to know this must be an issue specific to me and no one else.
VRoom 1.10 -- and its presets selected via its own GUI -- works just fine on its own.

What I'm talking about is Live's "Track View Selector" - where you see Vahalla Room as a "Device" in a little box with an X/Y Pad and you would click the wrench icon to get to the GUI? That's what I'm talkin' bout, Willis.
Where you would drop drop the menu there to select a preset; it's just says, "none" atm.

I did drop your presets where they belong (overwriting the old ones), and then ran Disk Utility to repair permissions in OSX. Restarted. No Dice.
For Vahalla Shimmer, I see the presets in said dropdown window. I wonder if I don't see them since the presets are subdivided into separate folders? So I bet a dollar it never was showing before and I didn't notice until now.

It's not that big of a deal; I use VRoom on one of my master FX Sends (sometimes two) anyways, and once its set, it doesn't change. Until I'm working on something that needs a different color.

Otherwise here's some more specifics:
Mac OSX 10.6.8 running in forced 64-bit mode (I did this for Logic)
2009 MacBook Pro 17" 2.8GHz / 8GB RAM / core 2 Duo
Ableton 8.3

Ive just checked that and i noticed 3-4 percent drop of CPU usage, thats great! can anyone confirm aswel lower CPU usage ?

yes, same here

afaik, that's just how it works: shimmer uses the host's preset browser, vroom and ubermod use their own (so don't interact with that preset box).

What's the highest CPU algo? I wanna test the difference between versions.

Large Chamber iirc.

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Sean for the update and for the new algo. Really nice job on the new eyes! I like them a lot!

Correct. This would be a good algorithm to compare things with.

The best CPU measurement test would be to put a bunch of instances of VRoom into a project (like 8 in series), measure the total CPU, and then repeat the same test for the new version.

Just a reminder that this is for Windows 32-bit plugins only. The other might see a small CPU improvement from the changes I made, but it would be a pretty small change. The 32-bit Windows CPU improvement should be far more obvious.

Finest quality. Superior workmanship.

There is the maker's serial number.

Interesting.

Not convolution. Algorithmic.

Algorithmic?

Try Abdul Sean Costello. He make this reverb!

ValhallaDSP. Finest quality. Superior workmanship.
I don't know such stuff! I just do eyes...just eyes...just audio plugin algorithms, just eyes.

Sean Costello
should we expect a kind of daltonian algo in a near future ?

A bit of context for the above exchange:

I've quoted the "I just do eyes" line on countless occasions while talking with my wife. It feels like a good description of what I do. I don't create the whole body - that would be the DAW, or the computer, or whatever. I just focus on my one little piece of the whole (reverbs, delays, pitch shifters, what have you), and keep working on it until it is as good as I can make it.

wut if I use the 32-bit plugs in a 32-bit DAW in 64-bit Windows?

That would be a totally valid way of measuring the CPU. Plenty of 64-bit Windows users will be running 32-bit DAWs, such as Ableton Live. I wouldn't recommend using a 64-bit DAW to test 32-bit plugins, as the bit bridge that is used tends to add to the CPU usage.

Love the new algorithm. LV426MediumHall may be my new favorite for lush strings.

And thank you, Sean, for promptly sending me the download link via PM because I had no email access. Waves has to bribe users to pimp their products out in the world, but this is how you recruit an army of evangelicals to your cause.

Really like the update...

Thank you...why it has taken me so long to discover this over a few others (more expensive verbs) i will never know...

Thanks! I gotta admit that I like the LV-426 mode as well.

Happy customers make me happy.

It looks like most of the update emails have been received at this point. If any other registered users hasn't received the 1.1.0 update for ValhallaRoom yet, just send me an email or PM and I'll get the update out to you ASAP.

I tested some presets, and the new version uses 40-55% of the previous versions CPU usage.

You da man!

Note: this is for Windows 32-bit plugins only. The other plugins have the same CPU usage - it's just that the 32-bit Windows VST and RTAS plugins have had their CPU lowered to match the 64-bit VST. Still, if you use a 32-bit DAW like Ableton Live, the lower CPU for the 32-bit Windows plugins is nothing but a good thing. To quote Arglebargle:
