Any alternatives to SIR, free ones please.

Are there any other impulse Response reverbs, for pc that is free ?
or do you know if that A no latency version of SIR is anyway near soon to be released, it feels like ages since it was announced, that Knufinke was working on one.

reVOLVerb is free, but it's hard logging onto the comapny's website. I think it's a bandwidth issue, so you may be able to log on now & grab it.
Doesn't have alot of features, but also doesn't have SIR's latency issues either, so..
And if you're looking for more IR's you can grab free ones from noisevault.com
If you want to try some really cool ones, try the Specktral Relativity IR's from Spirit Canyon Audio. Great value for money & some really far out stuff. Spirit Canyon also has more conventional IR's in the new kaleidoskopy IR collection as well.

No luck I am afraid, I get A "no permission" message, so there must still be bandwidth problems. It also don`t support 384 Sample latencies, that is what I have on my soundcard, and I can`t go under that.

It says 'VST' at the top of the page, right after 'Red State Sound RevolVerb Lite'drinelli wrote:But is it not a Vst Plugin ? I can`t find it under effects on this site.

Why the pressing need for no latency?
AFAIK, there will still be latency associated with this kind of plug-in, as it performs some pretty complex maths; however, obviously you can get a lower latency than SIR currently has, or he wouldn't be working on it!
I realize that there CAN be some pretty spiffy realtime uses for SIR or similar plugs, but way more often than not, I'm using it for the mixing phase, which means that latency is a non-issue.
I guess if your host doesn't have PDC, that could suck.

Zero Latency is really handy when you are using speaker cabinet impulses or Eq/Tube Pre impulses. If SIR can be run at zero or near zero latency it will be quite an enhancement to its usability.Lunch Money wrote:Why the pressing need for no latency?

Logic PC has no PDC so using SIR involves workarounds - eg route everything through a bus with an equal sample delay on it (another SIR instance with no impulse loaded will do this by the way).

Over 8000 samples latency is a lot of latency, think if your soundcard had that kind of latency, it would be a serious problem. I want to be able to monitor my vst Instruments while recording the midi, and inspite of the pdc it seems as if recorded vst tracks with SIR in the effect chain, still are being delayed, that is why I need the no latency version.

With PDC, there shouldn't be any delay unless it's on the track being recorded (in which case, it's impossible for PDC to do anything at all). If it's for live tracking, you probably don't 'need' the hear the reverb on the track anyhow-- alternatives are to either disable it entirely, or to temporarily replace with a bread'n'butter non-convolution reverb while live tracking.
