ArtsAcoustic still alive?

[bduffy]

Hehe, maybe that would be a good idea
Whether this is good or bad news with Sonnox and Focusrite I don't know

I'll tell ya right now: as a Focusrite interface owner, I get a crazy amount of great plugins for free. I suspect one, or some, of the Sonnox plugins will show up in their "Focusrite Collective" soon. But I digress..

Anyone know if the reverb still works on Ventura os ?

[bduffy]

My brother can run it in Monterey using Rosetta, so I imagine it's similar with Ventura.

No word. I'll send another email to all their available contacts and see if anything pops up.

I've decided I want to capture some impulse responses of AAR to preserve its glory. Anyone recommend a free IR capture plugin?

I realize this is an old thread, but I figured out a way to do this in Logic using the IR Utility for the exact purpose of getting some of my favorite reverb settings in Arts:

Putting some chorus on the tail really helps

On my M3 Mac, I can still use the AU Version of ArtsAcoustic in Live without running it in Rosetta for some reason.

That's a great idea!

What I did was use Accentize Chameleon to capture the reverb's IR, and did exactly what you did: place a chorus at the end. I can get pretty close, but it's limited ot ~6 seconds, mostly due to Chameleon being designed more for audio post for dialogue.

I'll try your IR solution next, but I'll need something VST3-compatible, though.

My brother can still run AAR on his M1 Mac Studio, so there's still hope. But I fear time is running out...

Latency might be an issue but there's always connector

But "Connector" needs a host because there is no standalone app?
I think it works easier with Metaplugin, where you can load 32 and 64 bit plugins (has its own BitBridge). Metaplugin can even load 32 bit Intel plugins on the Mac and is itself loaded as a native 64 bit VST3 version.

[bduffy]

I was going to say: something like Metaplugin is probably the ideal solution. Could use Waves Studiorack, or any plugin chainer, depending on compatibility.

I found my old Arts Acoustic Reverb installer and license from years and years ago, and installed from that file, v1.5.0.005, after all these years. Now it resides here both on Windows 10 and in my custom Linux audio environment (through LinVst), and oh man. It works so beautifully in both. Absolutely stunning, and just works (tm), hah. Loads in Reaper on both systems so quickly, with no headaches or additional configuring needed, and works so efficient and stable. I have to admit I had forgotten how beautiful the sound was, and I just know I'm going to be using this a lot going forward, again.

It's almost 2025, and that means Arts Acoustic Reverb will turn 20. Wow.
