yes, I guessed so as Jules used loads of free algos he found while browsing the web when developing Tracktion - the time-stretching algo is another example - however there are many plugins using this algo (e.g. the RGC reverb as well) and most of them are very different from each other!

Wow, no consensus here at all.

What about altiverb? I thought that was supposed to be "the best"?

eh? Altiverb is just another convolution reverb...

So altiverb sounds like a good choice for a powermac guy like me, or would the money be better spent on a hardware reverb you think?

You would need to spend a lot of money on hardware to get near the sound quality of a convolution plug with a good impulse.. I would only really consider it if real-time use were a priority, as convo verbs usually have some latency.. I don't know Altiverb, but no-latency convolution tends to munch cpu cycles.

well I'm gonna sound like a fanboy now.... but I usually do so....

the W2 can be run at ZERO latency and is very usable... (not in FLStudio though) but using Tracktion it only eats about 15% which is high but okay for a non latency convo verb

it uses 5% when using only the AIR algo which is not to be underated, too

if you have a mac, altiverb is a must.

a wise investment

so you're back on the dark side again ?

I just watched the altiverb movie and my mind is BLOWN. Incredible product. Anybody want to guess how many instances of altiverb I could get on a g5 dual 2.0 using T2? (I don't know if RAM is a factor, but I've got 4.5 GB)

Doesn't it depend on the impulse? Long impulses use more cpu..
