Waves IR1 Convolution Reverb: Convolution Reverb Plugin

Maybe you’d like to record in the Sydney Opera House. Or in the Grand Ole Opry. Or in the Manhattan Center or in Wembley Stadium or in Birdland. Or record dialogue in a stairwell a church a car interior or on the Todd-AO scoring stage. For all of these—you want IR1. Convolution reverb’s uncanny ability to reproduce hyper-realistic acoustic environments is well-known but IR1’s 2 000+ impulse responses are what truly bring convolution reverb to life.

Algorithmic Reverb Familiarity

With IR1 editing convolution reverb can be just as easy as editing conventional algorithmic reverb. You’ll find familiar reverb parameters—like RT60 decay time size density ER buildup and a 4-band EQ to set damping.

Superior Shaping

Despite impulse responses being static the envelope shaper allows non-linear responses—faster or slower decay gated responses tails that swell up before decaying rhythmic chopping and more.

Shift Into Reverse

The innovative Reverse mode reverses the tail but not the original sound being processed. The result is ghostly evocative reverb that still retains the intelligibility of vocals and instrument attack/decay characteristics.

Over 2 000 Spaces

The crown jewel of the package is over 2 000 meticulously recorded impulses of acoustic spaces including venues from around the world—often with different seating positions and microphone polar patterns.

Impulse Customization

The IR1 separates the direct sound early reflections and tail each with its own gain and predelay parameters. Also you can trim the impulse start for an instant attack or the end for a shorter reverb that needs less CPU power.

Features:

• 4.8 GB library of impulses covers a huge variety of acoustic spaces
• Modify impulses with multiple editable parameters
• All impulses recorded with premium field-recording gear
• Can also faithfully reproduce classic digital reverb hardware
• Includes the sweep file needed to create your own impulses
• Import third-party impulses from the internet or use WAV files
• With mono mono-to-stereo full stereo or efficient stereo modes
• Shape the reverb envelope to produce non-linear effects
