Hello, Friends!
I’m trying desperately to get this Altiverb 7 crack to work in Ableton Live 9. I follow all the install steps from the readme (see below) and even overwrite the dlls with allegedly cracked dlls, but the plugin still doesn’t show up in ableton at all.
Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?
Btw this is my first post here… this forum looks sweet!
Here’s some info from the readme:
Audioease — Altiverb 7 XL v7.2.6
Copy Protection……: iLok 2 Fusion
Date……………..: 02.JAN.2016These were the install instructions from the readme:
1) Unpack
2) Run the Altiverb 7 Installer
3) Unpack the additional IRs into your IR folder
default: C:Program FilesAudio EaseAltiverb 7Impulse ResponsesAudio Ease IRs
4) Overwrite the dlls with the cracks (you can delete the 32bit aax) -

What worked for me is running Ableton in Windows 8 compatibility mode and pressing Alt+click on Rescan button in Preferences (under custom Vst folder option). This was known issue even on official release.

It works indeed but changing a DAW to the Windows 8 compatability mode gives a overall poor performance. Better is to use Jbridge for this cracked iLok2 stuff. Besides that JBridge handles multicore and memory in a proper way even on a Windows 10 system. Ok it costs some $ (the price however is symbolic low) but trust me….this is THE solution for a lot of (cracked) problematic VST-plugins. Try it yourself…..Cheers.

Interesting. How does JBridge help this? It looks like JBridge is used to make 32bit plugins run in 64bit and vice versa. But that’s not the problem here, is it?
I do still need to find a solution so that I don’t have to run in Win8 mode.

That’s correct. But JBridge also can convert 64 -> 64 bit plugins. These converted (JBridge) dll’s have their own memory and cpu schemes which often works better than to load the (cracked) VST-plugins directly into the host software. I have several plugins that had the same problem you are dealing with but these are working fine with JBridge in every host incl. Ableton Live.

Hello all — I’m trying to get Altiverb 7 working in Mac OS now… any tips? I install it and I get nothing… I put the vst in place, but it’s not recognized by Ableton or Logic. I don’t think the IR files are even there either. Has anyone successfully installed the crack on Mac?

License activation
If you have just purchased an Audio Ease product and received a serial number you can register this here:
www.audioease.com/ed
Why register?
When registered you can access the downloads and immediately get licenses to activate the software.
When you have purchased your software directly at audioease.com there is no serial number. In this situation you can get your licenses directly at:
www.audioease.com/authorization
If you have just purchased at audioease.com or registered a serial number you can immediately get an iLok license for your product.
Simply go here: www.audioease.com/authorization
fill in your registered email address and proceed.
In case your iLok key is lost, stolen or broken we will help you out right away, even in case you have not invested in additional insurances or coverage at ilok.com.
Send a message to support@audioease.com and we will provide you with a 30 days expiring backup license so you can continue your work immediately. A spare iLok USB key is required for this, as the software (Altiverb, Speakerphone and Indoor) requires the ilok usb key. This means the software will not work without an ilok usb key with a license on it.
To resolve this situation permanently you may have to acquire another iLok USB key. We can help here too:
We can send you one at a not-for-our-profit-price, which will normally takes 2-6 weekdays in Europe (6-20 weekdays to the rest of the world), available at: audioease.com/store. Depending on your location purchasing locally might be quicker.
Yes, you can sell / transfer your license to another user.
If you have a license stored on an iLok key please transfer this license to the new owner by using the iLok License Manager. Please note: while PACE/ iLok fees apply, there are no fees imposed by Audio Ease.
Then please send a message to support@audioease.com with the name, email address and ilok user account info of both you and the new owner.
We will then transfer the software registration at audioease.com to the new owner, so that he/she will be able to access all downloads and (future) upgrades.
You can use the software with a single license on more then one computer. Simply connect the ilok usb key with the license on it to a computer and you can install and use the software.
However you can use the software only at one computer at a time.
When you need to run the software in two locations (two rooms / two machines) at the same time this requires two licenses. This means purchasing two copies of the software. We do not offer any second license deals or discounts.
General troubleshooting
Altiverb 7, Indoor, Speakerphone 2 and 360pan suite 3 work fine using Rosetta 2 on the Apple silicon machines. The performance is great.
We are currently working on adding native silicon support to all plug-ins, to ensure future compatibility and to take full advantage of the speed of this new processor range.
As soon we have more news on this we will share it.
The latest BarbaBatch, Snapper and Make a Test Tone are all universal applications, inlcuding native support for Apple silicon.

Errors like these can be solved by downloading and installing the latest ilok software from www.ilok.com. Altiverb, Speakerphone, Indoor and 360pan suite require this software.
Windows Authorization Error: Altiverb 7 Regular cannot run because it is corrupted please try reinstalling the product
This error means the graphics card driver on your system is not up to date. Even when Windows states this is up to date, Altiverb 7 can generate this error and you will find there is a newer driver available (and this will solve this error).
Please try to update your graphics card driver.
Find out what graphics card you have in your system (right click on your desktop, choose change screen resolution, hit advanced settings, that would show you the manufacturer»s name and the model).
Then please go to the manufacturer»s website, hit support/drivers and find the latest driver for your graphics card and download and install this.
Restart your computer.
The problem should be gone now.
The plug-in is installed correctly (Altiverb / Speakerphone / Indoor / 360pan suite) and the ilok software is up to date and still the plug-in cannot be found in Cubase (or Nuendo).
Let’s clear Clear the Cubase vst preferences to force a re-scan of all vst plug-ins (in case the plug-in is blacklisted)
- Remove all plist/xml files with VST in the file name from the Cubase preferences folder, check this post where to find the preferences folder.
- Then restart your computer.
- After the restart run Cubase. Cubase will now re-scan all plug-ins and it should load the plug-in again.
360pan suite
When you use the VST3 360pan suite plug-ins in Reaper you will have to verify two settings in Reaper’s preferences are properly set up, else the suite will not function properly.
In Reaper choose Preferences. from the bottom of the Options menu and then first go to:

and then TURN OFF the Anticipative FX Processing
this will ensure the 360reverb to function properly (else you will get sync problems)

2. Plug-Ins -> VST
Under VST Compatibility please set the Parameter automation notification to:
Process all notifications
this will ensure automation is written to track when you control the panner pucks from the video overlay (without the panner plug-ins being open).

3. Editing Behavior -> Automation
When recording automation and stopped should be set to: Do not add additional points.
This to ensure you can nudge the time cursor and then drag pucks and write automation this way (like in the tutorial/example project).
It could be some or all 360pan suite plug-ins are missing the first time you run Reaper after installing the 360pan suite VST3 plug-in. Reaper then needs a gentle push to see all plug-ins in the suite.
In Reaper choose Preferences. from the bottom of the Options menu and then open the VST tab in Plug-Ins:
- Hit the Re-scan. button
- Choose (from the popup menu) Clear cache and re-scan VST paths for all plug-ins
- Quit and restart the Reaper app
The video preview in the 360monitor AAX plug-in only functions (on modern systems and recent Pro Tools versions) when the Pro Tools.app is allowed to record the computer screen in the macOS system preferences.
Make sure you set this option to fully benefit from the 360pan suite plug-ins options.

Quick start: download & check out the example project / session featuring a short 360 video of us running around at Audio Ease, mono panning audio, a true ambisonics (b-format) FX recording, binaural preview and export suggestions.
Open the practice project START and open the workflow video and practice along with the video.
Available for Pro Tools, Reaper and Nuendo at:
www.audioease.com/360/#example
True headlocked stereo is not possible in the ambisonics audio format.
Ambisonics audio is a 3D audio sphere and headlocked (fixed) stereo sound does not fit into this.
This is simply impossible.
Headlocked mono is possible, that is the top channel only.
360pan suite offer to mix to the top channel using the position blur control.
More position blur (more mix to top) is more mono, more inhead/headlocked.
When you pan your stereo source hard left and right (-90 and +90) in the ambisonics sphere and you set the position blur to half way (somewhere between 0.40-0.60) you will find there is stereo sensation while you cannot really identify things turning when you look around in the 3D sphere.
If you move the position blur control more towards 1 you will find it will rotate less, but it will also be more mono. That is the trade off.
Altiverb 7
Problem: Installed or updated Altiverb 7 and now it does not show up in Logic.
Solution: Restart your mac.
Somehow (we are still trying to find out why) the macOS ignores Altiverb 7 until the computer has been restarted. This is why Logic (or Ableton Live, or any other DAW that uses Audio Unit plug-ins) does not show the Altiverb
Altiverb 7 Regular and XL sound exactly the same and come with the same IRs.
There are three differences:
Altiverb 7 Regular supports
- up to stereo input and output
- sampling rates up to 96kHz
- plug-in formats on windows: aax native and vst, on mac: aax native, vst, audio unit, mas and rtas
Altiverb 7 XL supports:
- up to 5.1 surround in and output
- sampling rates up to 384 kHz
- all plug-ins formats Altiverb 7 Regular supports + TDM on Mac OS X
So, in short, if you do not have sessions on 192k and you work in stereo only, Altiverb 7 Regular will do just fine.
If, at a later stage, you would like to upgrade from Regular to XL this is possible. The upgrade cost is just the price difference so you won’t loose any money going for Regular first.
Problem: The IR set gets downloaded when you click the download button in the NEWS section in the IR Browser. It starts downloading but then nothing happens, the set does not load or show up.
When this happens the Altiverb plug-in fails to copy/move the downloaded IR set to the Audio Ease IRs folder.
It could be Altiverb is not allowed to write in the Audio Ease IRs folder.
Solution: Try locating the folder in the finder (or explorer), hit get info and then verify your user (and the admin group) can read&write in the folder. If you make changes make sure to also apply to all enclosed items too. If this does not help, try using the default location as IRs folder:
/Users/Shared/Altiverb/IRs
You can change the IR folder location in the preferences tab in the Altiverb plug-in:
Altiverb 7 supports loading your own files as IRs.
Any wav audio file can be used as impulse response.
Simply add your file(s) to your User Created IRs folder, the default location is:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Altiverb/ *
Your third party impulse responses folders, libraries can be loaded through:
/Users/Shared/Altiverb/Third Party libraries
If you have recorded the Altiverb sine sweep to create an IR, then drag your mono or stereo recordings as wave file onto the drag and drop import window in the Altiverb plug-in. You can choose to save your IR into the User Created IRs folder.

There is a little trick you need to pull off to get this to work:
- open the add fx window in Reaper on the 6 channel track
- then right click on the Altiverb plug-in and make sure this option is checked:
- ☑️ inform plug-in when track channel count changes
When you then insert Altiverb 7 it should become 6 in 6 out and you will be able to choose the surround IRs in the IR Browser.
Most likely you were working with old older (version 7.0/7.1) IR set before and you recently installed the latest Altiverb 7 plug-in updater. This new Altiverb 7 plug-in however requires the latest core IR set.
To fix this please download the latest first time full Altiverb 7 installer and run this.
Once you installed this you will have all IRs again.
> You can request a link to the latest downloads at:
www.audioease.com/download
Altiverb 7 Windows Authorization Error: Altiverb 7 Regular cannot run because it is corrupted please try reinstalling the product
This error means the graphics card driver on your system is not up to date. Even when Windows states this is up to date, Altiverb 7 can generate this error and you will find there is a newer driver available (and this will solve this error).
Please try to update your graphics card driver.
Find out what graphics card you have in your system (right click on your desktop, choose change screen resolution, hit advanced settings, that would show you the manufacturer’s name and the model).
Then please go to the manufacturer’s website, hit support/drivers and find the latest driver for your graphics card and download and install this.
Restart your computer.
The problem should be gone now.
There is a situation where the Altiverb plug-in can revert to default settings when loading a project in Digital Performer.
This is caused by the fact the Digital Performer (DP) supports three plug-in formats: MAS, AU (audio unit) and VST.
How?
Example: When you save a project with the Altiverb MAS plug-in. And you then change the default plug-in type in DP to AU and re-open this project. DP will load Altiverb, but DP fails to transfer the saved Altiverb MAS plug-in settings to the now Altiverb AU plug-in, and Altiverb then reverts to loading the default settings (which is the Teldex IR).
When this suddenly occurs you are most likely using a different plug-in format then you used before. Try to find out what you used before, force DP to load this Altiverb plug-in from the plug-in settings in the DP preferences and then restart DP and re-open your project. The right settings should load again then.
If you need any help with this let us know. Send us for instance a project file that will not open correctly, then we can quickly help you out.
The macOS Altiverb 7.4.3 installer currently fails to install the screen saver. You can download the screen saver and copy it to: /Library/ScreenSavers/
What is the difference between the mono to stereo and the stereo to stereo options in a stereo out Altiverb ?
Best way to understand this is to go back with me to our sampling session when we recorded to room’s acoustics for the IR in Altiverb.
mono to stereo
We put a single speaker in the center of the stage and two mics in the audience.
This results in a mono to stereo IR.
When you playback your audio through this IR in Altiverb, it will sound like your audio comes out of that single speaker from the center of the stage (mono!) picked up with two microphones (stereo!).
This IR gives a stereo reverb, however the input is (mixed to) mono, as there is only a single source on stage.
When you want to process a vocal (mono) or direct recorded electrical guitar or something where the panning is not important the mono to stereo IR will do just fine (pro: costs half of the processing then a stereo-to-stereo IR, so it is more efficient in cpu and memory).
stereo to stereo
back to recording the room
this time we put two speakers on stage, one on the left and one on the right side of the stage and we record again with the two mics in the audience.
When you playback your stereo audio through this IR in Altiverb your stereo signal comes out of these two speakers.
Easy to picture here that your original panning will be maintained using a stereo to stereo IR.
So basically it comes down to this:
is your input stereo or is it panned in stereo ?
use a stereo — stereo IR, else you will loose the stereo information in the reverb (although the reverb is stereo).
Sometimes even when using stereo panned sources a mono to stereo IR can be preferred as you do not want the panning to be reflected in the reverb levels. But this is a mixing decision which depends on taste mostly (and music style) and I dare not to advice on that 🙂
We have removed some sets from the Altiverb IR library (mainly user submitted IR sets) that do not meet up to our current standards. The Speakers and Phones set is one of these. You can copy the original set from your Altiverb 6 Impulse Responses folder (if you still have this) to the Third Party IRs folder in the Altiverb 7 Impulse Responses folder.
Then you can then load these IRs again in Altiverb 7.
You can also download the original set from:
http://fokkie.home.xs4all.nl/IR.htm
Speakerphone
Speakerphone 2 can currently cause CPU errors in Pro Tools when Pro Tools uses HDX hardware.
On HDX hardware Speakerphone writes large log files due to an error. In the latest Pro Tools versions (since 2019.11) this causes errors.
Solution:
Proceed to the downloads page to download the special speakerphone-disable-logging.app and run this.
Speakerphone will no longer write log files and the problem should be gone.
Of course in a future Speakerphone update the extensive logging on HDX system will be removed.
By granting this directory read & write permissions for all users an admin user can enable all users on Windows to use the Speakerphone VST (or AAX) plug-in:
C:ProgramDataAudio EaseSpeakerphone
Without setting this Speakerphone will crash when a non-admin user tries to use the plug-in.
The challenge/response hard disk authorization is only available in the older (32 bits only) Speakerphone 2.0.5.
You are free to use this one instead of the latest, the 2.0.5 installer is available from the downloads page.
We strongly discourage running this old Speakerphone 2. This version will not be updated anymore. We recommend to use the latest Speakerphone 2.1. This one does require the iLok (2nd generation or up) key yes. Whenever your ilok key breaks or you loose it, we will always help you (supply a new license for a replacement key).
Most likely the Speakerphone 2.1 installer removed the resources from an older Speakerphone 2.0.5 installation however the installer failed to remove the Speakerphone 2.0.5 RTAS plug-in. When Pro Tools 10 now loads the Speakerphone 2 RTAS you get this error message. Then later Pro Tools scans the AAX and decides not to load the RTAS anymore.
Solution:
We need to fix this in the installer of course, but when you delete the Speakerphone.dpm (the RTAS plug-in) from: /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins/ this error message will be gone.
Snapper
Snapper could act weird on your macOS system. In these ways: Snapper does not (always) appear when selecting audio file or Snapper crashes on quitting the application or preferences are not recalled properly.
Some check box has to be checked in the Mac OS System Preferences to ensure Snapper works properly. Maybe this somehow did not work on your system.
Please try this:
- first quit Snapper (make sure it is not running)
- then delete the Snapper preferences file: com.audioease.snapper.plist. This file is the Preferences folder in the User Library. Open the Mac Finder, hit the GO menu, hold down the option (ALT) key and a link to the Library folder will appear. Go to the Preferences folder and delete the file.
- then please restart your mac (important)
- now run snapper
- open the mac os system preferences
- go to the security and privacy settings panel
- then to the privacy tab
- select the accessibility panel on the left
- open the lock on the bottom left (and fill in your password) to make changes
- if Snapper is listed here, please select it and hit the — (minus) button to remove it from the list
- now quit and run snapper and it should be added to the list again
- make sure the box for Snapper is ☑️ checked. If it IS already checked then please un-check and ☑️ re-check it
- quit and start Snapper
Snapper opens when you select any file that contains audio, also video files.
This sometimes is a problem, when you want to use the space bar to quickly preview the video in the finder.
There is a simple hack for this:
Use: SHIFT + SPACE BAR to preview the video
This works, even when Snapper is showing you the audio waveform of your selected video in the finder.

долго искал решение данной проблемы в интернете, но пока сам не полез исправить не удалось.
Вот решение проблемы (которое помогло мне):
1)После того как аблетон выдал вам эту ошибку A serious program error occurred. (…..Application Data/Ableton/Live/Preferences/log.txt) (там будет текстовый документ, открываем его)
2) идем в самый низ этого файла и смотрим последнюю запись
3)Там будет написано приблизительно следующее:
…..(НАЗВАНИЕ ВСТ из-за которого вылетает программа и надпись на против него ФАТАЛЬНАЯ ОШИБКА!(только естественно это всё на Английском)
у меня вылетала ошибка из-за VST Vanguard
4)далее идём в в папку где у вас хранятся ваши VST ( у меня это C:Program FilesSteinbergVstPlugins)
и убираем DLL файл инструмента из-за которого у вас была ошибка. У меня это был Vanguard
5)запускаем ваш проект которы до этого не открывался (он теперь открывается)
6)находим дорожку на которой был установлен проблемный инструмент и удаляем его от туда
7)сохраняем проект (уже без проблемного вст)
теперь ваш проект будет открываться без проблем!!!
Удачи!

А еще такой вопрос, если вас не затруднит, не могли бы написать точнее что должно быть написано на английском, у меня просто ничего подозрительного, похожего на то что вы описали.)) Заранее спасибо :victory:

Спасибо за подсказку. У меня выяснилось, что ошибка в Out of memory. Очень странно, что её не хватает. Всего 4Гб, из них используется приложением около 1600000 Кб. Вылет происходит чаще всего в процессе заморозки трека. На VSTшки не ругался….
П.С. вопрос решился — он ругался на недостаток памяти на жестком диске :blink:

Добавлю от себя простое решение данной наболевшей проблемы)
Если ошибка «A serious program error occurred» выскакивает из-за какого либо ВСТ, то делаем всё как в первом посте (удаляем, переустанавливаем…)
Если же проблема вызвана нехваткой памяти, «Out of memory», и проект вообще невозможно открыть, то поступаем следующим образом:
1. Переносим один из основных ВСТ инструментов проекта из папки установки например на рабочий стол ( в моём случае это был Сайлент)
2. Запускаем проект. Выскакивает сообщение о том, что инструмент не найден. Жмём окей. И теперь проект открылся! (т.к. память уже не нагружается этим инструментом)
3. Переводим некоторые дорожки проекта в Аудио материал, и удаляем их предшествующие миди версии с инструментами (в моём случае это были 2 пэда с нексуса).
4. Сохраняем проект, закрываем. Забрасываем папку с инструментом обратно в папку установки ВСТ.
5. Открываем проект и спокойно работаем) Периодически переводя некоторые завершённые дорожки в аудио для экономии памяти.

В пункте 5 — в Аудио, наверное, а не в МИДИ, Правильно?

Обновился до Ableton 9.1.5. При выходе стала вылезать ошибка «A serious program error has occured». Пробовал отключать VST, отключать MIDI интерфейсы, проверил память. Не помогает. Вообщем, конечно это не фатальная ошибка во время работы. Но как-то надоедает каждый раз видеть эту хрень и всякие там отчеты о креше.

У меня такая ошибка выскакивает когда я пытаюсь вст Сайлент добавить на миди дорожку. Но у меня это происходит не от перегруза, как писалось выше, так происходит даже в пустом проекте в новом. При чем Сайлент разных версий ставил, и аблетон переставлял, ничего не помогает. У десятков тысяч людей эта связка прекрасно работает.
У меня один раз открывается сайлент, при первом запуске абла после установки, а потом все ошибка при всех дальнейших попытках. Что делать, как быть…

@Alexs7, аналогичная беда сегодня приключилась. Открыл новый проект и решил поиграться с сайлентом, но не тут то было, вылезла ошибка. Что произошло понять не могу, на протяжении длительного времени все прекрасно ладило.

I’ve installed Altiverb 7.2 for windows on my system and had this error come up and shut down Reaper every time. I’ve tried re-downloading a new installer, un-installing and re-installing, un-installing and re-installing Ilok but the plugin does this error every single time and Audio-Ease’s help has been far from amazing and since they are in the netherlands I only have until about 10AM everyday to get help because I’m guessing they go home around 4 or 5 because I never get help past that and none on weekends which is frustrating. Any help or direction is helpful and thanks… |

Geez, I dropped all uses of any Ilok nonsense. All my applications and VST’s/ VSTi’s are all Ilok free. I had enough of their BS over the year and a few years ago got rid of all Ilok crap I had and never went back. Eventually those companies will isolate themselves to a point where they become like Motu, where in the end they were forced to bring Digital Performer to Windows 7 due to Apple going south with the Desktops and going to Cell phones. By then it was too late for Motu as too many Daw’s now on Windows. The Motu example clearly shows some companies are not only silly, but they do not have a clue as to where the massive numbers of users are. This is the reason now why 99% OF ALL APPS are coming for windows only these days. Since the Intel switch ( Apple’s monopoly death) every company who used the Mac to protect their Apps are now scrambling to get their products into Windows or they risk death!!.. Altiverb are no exception. |

you like alti? perhaps you’d like to switch to Liquid Sonic’s Reverberate… and get the free Biscati IR’s for it… you don’t get all the pretty pictures but you do get ultimate tweaking control of the IR’s. Cheap too. |

It’s the library Hopi, and the switching between setting slots in the plugin that can be automated. There are probably few mixing stages for films that don’t have it because of that feature of being able to automate the changing of impulses(and every other parameter). Can the Liquid Sonic plugin(which is awesome) automate the switching of impulses and other settings ? If so, it’s a candidate to replace Altiverb. Of course it would’nt hurt to have an impulse library of similar or better quality as well. The post guys are pretty well treated with impulses for their purposes. Shame about the errors. Hope it’s fixed quickly. |

Hope it’s fixed quickly. Ah… I see. Did not understand that ability and the desire for it. I had some experience with Alti a few years back. Yes, nice IR’s but also …well let’s say, rather proprietary, eh? This is not the case with Reverberate. Fortunately there are some lovely IR lib’s for it. Some are free, some are not. And the free ones are excellently done. Also, IMHO, the ability tweak them and even to mix parts of one and parts of another are [I think] unique to Reverberate. That leads to the next thought, in that let’s say you do that and then save it as a preset. But I know, the OP’s issue is just getting Alti to work… so sorry for the OT. |

Yep, new Ilok manager downloaded for sure. I’m on Windows 7 not 8 but I would think 7 is still the norm so I wouldn’t think that would be the issue either. Altiverb sent me 2 different Altiverb 7 dll’s this morning to try and both did the same error. They said 5 people have reported this error but they can’t reproduce it and I sent them my system information this morning to help them try and figure it out. |

Out of curiosity, did they say what it is? I’m presuming with it saying «authorisation error» it is i-lok related? > |

Initially they were telling me that it was an Ilok thing but I updated everything and reported back and then they said that they found out it was on there side and that I had to wait for an update. You are right, it had something to do with authorization but apparently not on Ilok’s side of things. They didn’t tell me much beyond that… |

That is one expensive convolution reverb!!! i assume the included IRs are what bump the price?

Correct. The quality and breadth of the IRs has made it a standard for professional post-production work in film/tv/radio etc. |

Altiverb impulse responses
From all over the world
Longer than anyone in the industry, and with more ear for detail, Audio Ease has been traveling the world to record the acoustics of the very best sounding spaces.
The results of hundreds of these travels are included with Altiverb 7.
Ranging from London’s Wembley stadium to the ancient caves of the island of Malta and the churches, concert halls and rock studios of the cities of Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and New York.
Browse through all Altiverb IRs

The IR browser
The Impulse Response library is now more accessible then ever because of Altiverb’s new visual browser. Select impulse responses by clicking photos of rooms. Instant gapless loading, organise-by-size, and single click favorites are just a few of the possibilities. The Impulse Response Browser contains a keyword search field, single click downloading and installing of new (free) impulse responses.
Altiverb 7 for music
Music Spaces
The Altiverb Library of Acoustics contains the most sought after spaces for music. The main concert halls of the cities of Berlin, Los Angeles Vienna and Amsterdam for your orchestral work. Or legendary rock studios from New York or Paris. But you can also put your audio in French Cathedrals, the Gol Gumbaz of India or London’s Wembley stadium.
Vintage reverb gear
Altiverb contains a tremendous amount of classic reverb gear and purpose built echo chambers. You’ll find all the EMT plates you want, spring reverbs, classic digital gear like the 480, 224, the AMS RMX 16 or the EMT 240. Add the Frank Sinatra and Beach Boys echo chambers and you have everything you need to recreate all those classic sounds.
Experimental Responses
Grab any sound from your tracks or the Finder and toss it on Altiverb to use it as an impulse response. Try piano chords, breaking glass, spoken word, thunder or a drum loop. In convolution each sample of the input is replaced by the entire impulse response. So if you use a piano chord as an impulse Response, and you clap your hands into Altiverb, out comes the chord.
Stage Positioning
An exhaustive recording session in a Viennese concert hall gave us an algorithm that allows you to accurately place your sound anywhere on stage of all our concert halls, or in any of our other rooms. Physically correct sound placement using the Altiverb Stage Positioner creates a stunningly realistic audio panorama.
audio demo
Musical gates and delays
To tie your reverb effects more to your tracks Altiverb 7 features a reverb gate that is set using note values. And it is tied to your song’s tempo. Any reverb tail can be reversed and handles the same way, and Altiverb’s pre-delay can also be set in this manner, so it is easy to put that slap-back delay in a musical spot.
Brightness and Chaos
The Brightness parameter closely fits a classic synthetic reverb on top of the Impulse Response. This adds a particular brightness in a way EQ never can. Toss in a bit of chaotic modulation in your reverb and not every hit will sound identical in the reverb. Slightly out of tune notes will be covered up in the reverb tail by modulation.
More videos
Our youtube account is a great resource for learning more about Altiverb.
Altiverb 7 for audio post for picture
Spaces for post
The Altiverb Library of Acoustics contains hundreds of spaces geared towards audio post for picture. This includes 18 bed rooms, 30 car interiors, trains, boats, many streets and forests, the cockpit of a boeing 747, clubs, sports stadiums, bathrooms, closets and cupboards.
Total recall automation
Everything, including the impulse response choice is automatable in Altiverb 7. This means that you do not have to jump through hoops to simply automate Altiverb 7 100% accurately. While there are still single-click snapshots, you do not need them to automate Altiverb fully.
Matching Heaven
To make an IR just drag a sweep recording onto Altiverb. Use a portable radio, a starter pistol shot. Altiverb 7 even has built in correction curves for the most popular clapper boards. Next time you need to match production acoustics and all you have is a slate clap, think of Altiverb.
Keyword Searching
You do not have to endlessly browse through hundreds of spaces to find exactly what you need. Altiverb 7 has a powerful keyword search field so you can look for items like ‘metallic resonances’ ‘bed room’, ‘street slapback’ or ‘brick room’
Find similar Sounding IRs
You found a space that works but it’s not quite the thing yet? You can tweak EQ or damping parameters, but you can also try Altiverb’s ‘Similar’ button. It will list a number of similar sounding alternatives to the currently chosen impulse response.
Walls, Floors and Doors
Altiverb contains many samples made through walls, doors and floors. If you need a rejected lover to beg from behind the front door, that party-at-the-neighbours sound or an upstairs piano practice, browse the next-door category of impulse responses.

iLok key broken / lost / stolen
In case your iLok key is lost, stolen or broken we will help you out right away, even in case you have not invested in additional insurances or coverage at ilok.com.
Send a message to support@audioease.com and we will provide you with a 30 days expiring backup license so you can continue your work immediately. A spare iLok USB key is required for this, as the software (Altiverb, Speakerphone and Indoor) requires the ilok usb key. This means the software will not work without an ilok usb key with a license on it.
To resolve this situation permanently you may have to acquire another iLok USB key. We can help here too:
We can send you one at a not-for-our-profit-price, which will normally takes 2-6 weekdays in Europe (6-20 weekdays to the rest of the world), available at: audioease.com/store. Depending on your location purchasing locally might be quicker.
Transfer license to another user
Yes, you can sell / transfer your license to another user.
If you have a license stored on an iLok key please transfer this license to the new owner by using the iLok License Manager. Please note: while PACE/ iLok fees apply, there are no fees imposed by Audio Ease.
Then please send a message to support@audioease.com with the name, email address and ilok user account info of both you and the new owner.
We will then transfer the software registration at audioease.com to the new owner, so that he/she will be able to access all downloads and (future) upgrades.
More then one computer with a single license
You can use the software with a single license on more then one computer. Simply connect the ilok usb key with the license on it to a computer and you can install and use the software.
However you can use the software only at one computer at a time.
When you need to run the software in two locations (two rooms / two machines) at the same time this requires two licenses. This means purchasing two copies of the software. We do not offer any second license deals or discounts.
General troubleshooting
Native Apple silicon support
Altiverb 7, Indoor, Speakerphone 2 and 360pan suite 3 work fine using Rosetta 2 on the Apple silicon machines. The performance is great.
We are currently working on adding native silicon support to all plug-ins, to ensure future compatibility and to take full advantage of the speed of this new processor range.
As soon we have more news on this we will share it.
The latest BarbaBatch, Snapper and Make a Test Tone are all universal applications, inlcuding native support for Apple silicon.

Pro Tools error: not a valid 64 bits plug-in
Most likely the installer or the plug-in got corrupted in transit. Please download the latest updater installer on the computer you want to use it on. Then move the downloaded zip file on the desktop and there choose to extract it using the Mac OS X default Archive Utility app. Once you did this please run the updater installer from the desktop to install the correct aaxplugin and this should cure the problem.
The aax plug-in can get corrupted when transferred on some external (or network) drives. The plug-in won’t validate properly then.
Authorization Wire Exception
«Speakerphone / Altiverb cannot run, because an error occurred. Encrypted Channel Bad Channel ID (or USB error or frame is an invalid size)»
Errors like these can be solved by downloading and installing the latest ilok software from www.ilok.com. Altiverb, Speakerphone, Indoor and 360pan suite require this software.
Windows Authorization Error
Windows Authorization Error: Altiverb 7 Regular cannot run because it is corrupted please try reinstalling the product
This error means the graphics card driver on your system is not up to date. Even when Windows states this is up to date, Altiverb 7 can generate this error and you will find there is a newer driver available (and this will solve this error).
Please try to update your graphics card driver.
Find out what graphics card you have in your system (right click on your desktop, choose change screen resolution, hit advanced settings, that would show you the manufacturer»s name and the model).
Then please go to the manufacturer»s website, hit support/drivers and find the latest driver for your graphics card and download and install this.
Restart your computer.
The problem should be gone now.
Plug-in not found in Cubase / Nuendo
The plug-in is installed correctly (Altiverb / Speakerphone / Indoor / 360pan suite) and the ilok software is up to date and still the plug-in cannot be found in Cubase (or Nuendo).
Let’s clear Clear the Cubase vst preferences to force a re-scan of all vst plug-ins (in case the plug-in is blacklisted)
- Remove all plist/xml files with VST in the file name from the Cubase preferences folder, check this post where to find the preferences folder.
- Then restart your computer.
- After the restart run Cubase. Cubase will now re-scan all plug-ins and it should load the plug-in again.
360pan suite
HDX hardware & 360reverb
When using HDX hardware the Hybrid Engine needs to be Enabled for the private (pre-fader) sends from the 360pan plug-in to the 360reverb to work.
When the Hybrid Engine is disabled the distance cannot be controlled for a panned source. The 360reverb does work as normal reverb insert/aux effect on HDX systems with disabled Hybrid Engine.
Essential Reaper preferences
When you use the VST3 360pan suite plug-ins in Reaper you will have to verify two settings in Reaper’s preferences are properly set up, else the suite will not function properly.
In Reaper choose Preferences… from the bottom of the Options menu and then first go to:
1. Audio -> Buffering
and then TURN OFF the Anticipative FX Processing
this will ensure the 360reverb to function properly (else you will get sync problems)
2. Plug-Ins -> VST
Under VST Compatibility please set the Parameter automation notification to:
Process all notifications
this will ensure automation is written to track when you control the panner pucks from the video overlay (without the panner plug-ins being open).
3. Editing Behavior -> Automation
When recording automation and stopped should be set to: Do not add additional points.
This to ensure you can nudge the time cursor and then drag pucks and write automation this way (like in the tutorial/example project).
No (or not all) 360pan suite plug-ins Reaper ? Clear cache
It could be some or all 360pan suite plug-ins are missing the first time you run Reaper after installing the 360pan suite VST3 plug-in. Reaper then needs a gentle push to see all plug-ins in the suite.
In Reaper choose Preferences… from the bottom of the Options menu and then open the VST tab in Plug-Ins:
- Hit the Re-scan… button
- Choose (from the popup menu) Clear cache and re-scan VST paths for all plug-ins
- Quit and restart the Reaper app

360monitor video preview: Allow Screen Recording for Pro Tools.app
The video preview in the 360monitor AAX plug-in only functions (on modern systems and recent Pro Tools versions) when the Pro Tools.app is allowed to record the computer screen in the macOS system preferences.
Make sure you set this option to fully benefit from the 360pan suite plug-ins options.
360pan suite example projects, tutorials
Quick start: download & check out the example project / session featuring a short 360 video of us running around at Audio Ease, mono panning audio, a true ambisonics (b-format) FX recording, binaural preview and export suggestions.
Open the practice project START and open the workflow video and practice along with the video.
Available for Pro Tools, Reaper and Nuendo at:
www.audioease.com/360/#example
360pan suite goodies, free productivity tools
Stereo music (headlocked, fixed stereo) in ambisonics
True headlocked stereo is not possible in the ambisonics audio format.
Ambisonics audio is a 3D audio sphere and headlocked (fixed) stereo sound does not fit into this.
This is simply impossible.
Headlocked mono is possible, that is the top channel only.
360pan suite offer to mix to the top channel using the position blur control.
More position blur (more mix to top) is more mono, more inhead/headlocked.
When you pan your stereo source hard left and right (-90 and +90) in the ambisonics sphere and you set the position blur to half way (somewhere between 0.40-0.60) you will find there is stereo sensation while you cannot really identify things turning when you look around in the 3D sphere.
If you move the position blur control more towards 1 you will find it will rotate less, but it will also be more mono. That is the trade off.
Altiverb 7
No Altiverb 7 in Logic after installing/updating
Problem: Installed or updated Altiverb 7 and now it does not show up in Logic.
Solution: Restart your mac.
Somehow (we are still trying to find out why) the macOS ignores Altiverb 7 until the computer has been restarted. This is why Logic (or Ableton Live, or any other DAW that uses Audio Unit plug-ins) does not show the Altiverb
What is the difference between Regular and XL ?
Altiverb 7 Regular and XL sound exactly the same and come with the same IRs.
There are three differences:
Altiverb 7 Regular supports
- up to stereo input and output
- sampling rates up to 96kHz
- plug-in formats on windows: aax native and vst, on mac: aax native, vst, audio unit, mas and rtas
Altiverb 7 XL supports:
- up to 5.1 surround in and output
- sampling rates up to 384 kHz
- all plug-ins formats Altiverb 7 Regular supports + TDM on Mac OS X
So, in short, if you do not have sessions on 192k and you work in stereo only, Altiverb 7 Regular will do just fine.
If, at a later stage, you would like to upgrade from Regular to XL this is possible. The upgrade cost is just the price difference so you won’t loose any money going for Regular first.
Extra IR set download problem
Problem: The IR set gets downloaded when you click the download button in the NEWS section in the IR Browser. It starts downloading but then nothing happens, the set does not load or show up.
When this happens the Altiverb plug-in fails to copy/move the downloaded IR set to the Audio Ease IRs folder.
It could be Altiverb is not allowed to write in the Audio Ease IRs folder.
Solution: Try locating the folder in the finder (or explorer), hit get info and then verify your user (and the admin group) can read&write in the folder. If you make changes make sure to also apply to all enclosed items too.
If this does not help, try using the default location as IRs folder:
/Users/Shared/Altiverb/IRs
You can change the IR folder location in the preferences tab in the Altiverb plug-in:
Import / add IRs, impulse responses
Altiverb 7 supports loading your own files as IRs.
Any wav audio file can be used as impulse response.
Simply add your file(s) to your User Created IRs folder, the default location is:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Altiverb/ *
* Please note the MacOS system hides the Library folder in your user folder. You can still open this folder through the GO menu in the Mac finder. Then hold down the option (alt) key and a link to the User Library will magically appear.
Your third party impulse responses folders, libraries can be loaded through:
/Users/Shared/Altiverb/Third Party libraries
If you have recorded the Altiverb sine sweep to create an IR, then drag your mono or stereo recordings as wave file onto the drag and drop import window in the Altiverb plug-in. You can choose to save your IR into the User Created IRs folder.
Surround in Reaper (Altiverb 7 XL)
There is a little trick you need to pull off to get this to work:
- open the add fx window in Reaper on the 6 channel track
- then right click on the Altiverb plug-in and make sure this option is checked:
- ☑️ inform plug-in when track channel count changes
When you then insert Altiverb 7 it should become 6 in 6 out and you will be able to choose the surround IRs in the IR Browser.
IRs missing after installing the latest Altiverb 7 update
Most likely you were working with old older (version 7.0/7.1) IR set before and you recently installed the latest Altiverb 7 plug-in updater. This new Altiverb 7 plug-in however requires the latest core IR set.
To fix this please download the latest first time full Altiverb 7 installer and run this.
Once you installed this you will have all IRs again.

Altiverb 7 Windows Authorization Error
Altiverb 7 Windows Authorization Error: Altiverb 7 Regular cannot run because it is corrupted please try reinstalling the product
This error means the graphics card driver on your system is not up to date. Even when Windows states this is up to date, Altiverb 7 can generate this error and you will find there is a newer driver available (and this will solve this error).
Please try to update your graphics card driver.
Find out what graphics card you have in your system (right click on your desktop, choose change screen resolution, hit advanced settings, that would show you the manufacturer’s name and the model).
Then please go to the manufacturer’s website, hit support/drivers and find the latest driver for your graphics card and download and install this.
Restart your computer.
The problem should be gone now.
Altiverb recalls only Teldex IR in Digital Performer (DP)
There is a situation where the Altiverb plug-in can revert to default settings when loading a project in Digital Performer.
This is caused by the fact the Digital Performer (DP) supports three plug-in formats: MAS, AU (audio unit) and VST.
How?
Example: When you save a project with the Altiverb MAS plug-in. And you then change the default plug-in type in DP to AU and re-open this project. DP will load Altiverb, but DP fails to transfer the saved Altiverb MAS plug-in settings to the now Altiverb AU plug-in, and Altiverb then reverts to loading the default settings (which is the Teldex IR).
When this suddenly occurs you are most likely using a different plug-in format then you used before. Try to find out what you used before, force DP to load this Altiverb plug-in from the plug-in settings in the DP preferences and then restart DP and re-open your project. The right settings should load again then.
If you need any help with this let us know. Send us for instance a project file that will not open correctly, then we can quickly help you out.
Altiverb screen saver
The macOS Altiverb 7.4.3 installer currently fails to install the screen saver. You can download the screen saver and copy it to:/Library/ScreenSavers/
Screensaver
Mono to stereo and stereo to stereo
What is the difference between the mono to stereo and the stereo to stereo options in a stereo out Altiverb ?
Best way to understand this is to go back with me to our sampling session when we recorded to room’s acoustics for the IR in Altiverb.
mono to stereo
We put a single speaker in the center of the stage and two mics in the audience.
This results in a mono to stereo IR.
When you playback your audio through this IR in Altiverb, it will sound like your audio comes out of that single speaker from the center of the stage (mono!) picked up with two microphones (stereo!).
This IR gives a stereo reverb, however the input is (mixed to) mono, as there is only a single source on stage.
When you want to process a vocal (mono) or direct recorded electrical guitar or something where the panning is not important the mono to stereo IR will do just fine (pro: costs half of the processing then a stereo-to-stereo IR, so it is more efficient in cpu and memory).
stereo to stereo
back to recording the room
this time we put two speakers on stage, one on the left and one on the right side of the stage and we record again with the two mics in the audience.
When you playback your stereo audio through this IR in Altiverb your stereo signal comes out of these two speakers.
Easy to picture here that your original panning will be maintained using a stereo to stereo IR.
So basically it comes down to this:
is your input stereo or is it panned in stereo ?
use a stereo — stereo IR, else you will loose the stereo information in the reverb (although the reverb is stereo).
Sometimes even when using stereo panned sources a mono to stereo IR can be preferred as you do not want the panning to be reflected in the reverb levels. But this is a mixing decision which depends on taste mostly (and music style) and I dare not to advice on that 
Speakers and Phones IR set
We have removed some sets from the Altiverb IR library (mainly user submitted IR sets) that do not meet up to our current standards. The Speakers and Phones set is one of these. You can copy the original set from your Altiverb 6 Impulse Responses folder (if you still have this) to the Third Party IRs folder in the Altiverb 7 Impulse Responses folder.
Then you can then load these IRs again in Altiverb 7.
You can also download the original set from:
http://fokkie.home.xs4all.nl/IR.htm
Speakerphone
Windows use Speakerphone as non-admin user
By granting this directory read & write permissions for all users an admin user can enable all users on Windows to use the Speakerphone VST (or AAX) plug-in:
C:ProgramDataAudio EaseSpeakerphone
Without setting this Speakerphone will crash when a non-admin user tries to use the plug-in.
Challenge/response hard disk activation (authorization)
The challenge/response hard disk authorization is only available in the older (32 bits only) Speakerphone 2.0.5.
You are free to use this one instead of the latest, the 2.0.5 installer is available from the downloads page.
We strongly discourage running this old Speakerphone 2. This version will not be updated anymore. We recommend to use the latest Speakerphone 2.1. This one does require the iLok (2nd generation or up) key yes. Whenever your ilok key breaks or you loose it, we will always help you (supply a new license for a replacement key).
Resources not found error message Pro Tools 10
Most likely the Speakerphone 2.1 installer removed the resources from an older Speakerphone 2.0.5 installation however the installer failed to remove the Speakerphone 2.0.5 RTAS plug-in. When Pro Tools 10 now loads the Speakerphone 2 RTAS you get this error message. Then later Pro Tools scans the AAX and decides not to load the RTAS anymore.
Solution:
We need to fix this in the installer of course, but when you delete the Speakerphone.dpm (the RTAS plug-in) from: /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins/ this error message will be gone.
Snapper
Snapper does not appear when selecting audio files
Snapper could act weird on your macOS system. In these ways: Snapper does not (always) appear when selecting audio file or Snapper crashes on quitting the application or preferences are not recalled properly.
Some check box has to be checked in the Mac OS System Preferences to ensure Snapper works properly. Maybe this somehow did not work on your system.
Please try this:
- first quit Snapper (make sure it is not running)
- then delete the Snapper preferences file: com.audioease.snapper.plist. This file is the Preferences folder in the User Library. Open the Mac Finder, hit the GO menu, hold down the option (ALT) key and a link to the Library folder will appear. Go to the Preferences folder and delete the file.
- then please restart your mac (important)
- now run snapper
- open the mac os system preferences
- go to the security and privacy settings panel
- then to the privacy tab
- select the accessibility panel on the left
- open the lock on the bottom left (and fill in your password) to make changes
- if Snapper is listed here, please select it and hit the — (minus) button to remove it from the list
- now quit and run snapper and it should be added to the list again
- make sure the box for Snapper is ☑️ checked. If it IS already checked then please un-check and ☑️ re-check it
- quit and start Snapper
Snapper & video file preview in the finder
Snapper opens when you select any file that contains audio, also video files.
This sometimes is a problem, when you want to use the space bar to quickly preview the video in the finder.
There is a simple hack for this:
Use: SHIFT + SPACE BAR to preview the video
This works, even when Snapper is showing you the audio waveform of your selected video in the finder.
Retrieve Snapper activation info (key code)
You can request your Snapper activation code by clicking on the Lost / forgot key code link at:
https://www.audioease.com/snapper/#support
This can be handy when you lost or misplaced the key code to unlock the Snapper demo to the full version.

If you can test it with TestVst and get an error then it’s Wine not being able to handle it for some reason.
If you run TestVst from a terminal and look at the output then sometimes there can be an unimplemented function error in some dll and that dll can be overriden and then see what happens.
This is all the output I get:

There are Wine errors.
Altiverb 7 seems to use ilok and I don’t think that’s going to run with Wine.
Altiverb 7 requires the iLok USB Key (2nd generation or newer).
@osxmidi
Actually, even if you will be able to «bypass» iLok — you still won’t be able to initialize / load Altiverb 7, i think it’s d2d1.dll problem…

Huh…Really? Should try it out 👍
Plugins running in one process are not sandboxed, so if one plugin crashes then the whole lot might crash.
Although that part doesn’t sound very happy 😄

Импульсная характеристика — это образец реверберации, генерируемой рассматриваемым пространством / механизмом в ответ на определенный звук — синусоидальная волна в случае библиотеки IR Altiverb. Сворачивая (комбинируя) этот импульсный отклик с аудиовходом, имитируется невероятно аутентичная реверберация. Это всё об Altiverb, если в двух словах.
Счастливая семёрка
Altiverb 7, выпущенный в конце прошлого года (почти через пять лет после Altiverb 6!), Содержит умеренное количество функциональных улучшений, а также капитальный ремонт пользовательского интерфейса. Ушла в прошлое искусственная установка в стойку, заменив ее более простой и современной компоновкой, при которой основные элементы управления всегда на виду, а «более глубокие» скрываются в выдвижных ящиках.
На самом деле они оказываются довольно бессмысленными, поскольку пустая область интерфейса, в которую они вставляются, без них занимает не меньше места, поэтому вы можете просто оставить их все открытыми.
Что еще более важно, для навигации по Altiverb 7 и пресетам теперь используется новый браузер изображений, всплывающее окно с изменяемым размером, которое может похвастаться гораздо большей функциональностью, чем его текстовый предшественник.
Altiverb известен плоскими изображениями и изображениями «VR» (по сути, интерактивной панорамой на 360 °) и теперь эти изображения используются во всем браузере, а также на основном дисплее, когда Altiverb 7 фактически загружен. Это не имеет большого значения, но, безусловно, делает навигацию в браузере более быстрой и, ну, в общем, увлекательной, если это имеет значение.
Теперь в Altiverb 7 также можно искать по имени или ключевому слову (‘large’, ‘metal’, ‘church’, ‘plate’ и т.д.), Организованных по размеру и помеченных как избранное, а новая кнопка «Подобные» мгновенно фильтрует все Altiverb 7 с характеристиками, аналогичными текущему выбранному. Altiverb 7 теперь загружается быстрее, чем раньше. Доступ к пресетам также можно получить через браузер, хотя, как ни странно, поиск по ним невозможен.
Полная автоматизация
Вторая особенность, ориентированная на рынок постпродакшна, — это возможность автоматизировать IR-выбор. Раньше для переключения между IR на лету использовалась система моментальных снимков, но новая система несколько проще, поскольку IR Automation появляется в качестве автоматического параметра на вашем хосте.
К сожалению, «ваш хост» не включает Ableton Live из-за его мучительно разочаровывающей неспособности автоматизировать все, что он не может «видеть» в графическом интерфейсе — хорошо, старая система моментальных снимков тоже все еще на месте.
Из-за того, что «за кулисами творится множество уловок», изменения IR Automation должны записываться в реальном времени и не могут быть нарисованы или отредактированы вручную. Сами по себе изменения тоже не происходят сразу, поэтому эта особенность больше применима к пост-продакшну, чем к музыке.
Кроме того, он работает нормально, хотя вставка и выход из частей конверта для их перезаписи вызывает проблемы. Altiverb 7 не может правильно разрешить перезапись, поэтому кажется, что каждый конверт автоматизации должен быть создан за один проход.
А звук?
Интересно, что Altiverb 7 теперь включает полностью синтезированную алгоритмическую «вторичную» реверберацию для добавления высшего блеска. Включает в себя только регулятор глубины (Яркий), он делает впечатляющую работу по усилению высокочастотной характеристики и следовательно яркости.
Также теперь есть встроенный гейт, время закрытия которого может быть установлено в синхронизированных с хостом делениях ударов или в секундах / миллисекундах — как, действительно, может быть длина недавно упрощенных параметров Pre-Delay и Attack.
Применение эквалайзера стало более интуитивным благодаря добавлению интерактивной графической кривой эквалайзера, а новые элементы управления модуляцией (скорость и глубина) позволяют слегка рандомизировать ранние отражения, чтобы добавить немного естественных вариаций к реверберации и «облаку» слегка расстроенные ноты. А улучшенный позиционер теперь дает в 10 раз больше места на сцене для чрезвычайно гибкого позиционирования источника в виртуальной среде, как слева направо, так и спереди назад.
У Altiverb 7 всегда была возможность загружать любой аудиофайл как IR, но теперь это можно сделать с помощью перетаскивания — хотя результаты различаются с точки зрения удобства использования.
Действуя импульсивно
Библиотека IR в Altiverb 7 весит 3,4 ГБ и включает в себя огромное количество пространств и устройств. Audio Ease опробовала некоторые из самых впечатляющих с акустической точки зрения конструкций в мире, ряд классического и не очень классического оборудования, более 20 интерьеров автомобилей, тонны «домашних» и общественных пространств и множество нестандартных помещений.
Полный список находится на веб-сайте — он представляет собой увлекательное чтение и действительно передает страсть Audio Ease к тому, чтобы сделать свою IR-библиотеку еще более мощной, универсальной и необычной.
Вы также можете создать свои собственные IR, запустив подходящий звук в пространство или через оборудование, которое нужно захватить, записав результат и перетащив его в интерфейс Altiverb 7. Полные инструкции и различные источники звуков находятся на сайте Audio Ease.
Чем больше меняется…
Altiverb 7 звучит так же красиво, как Altiverb 6 — часто даже лучше, благодаря алгоритмическому слою реверберации, гейт и синхронизации темпа. Новый интерфейс не намного проще в навигации и использовании, чем раньше, но он чище. Всплывающий браузер, тем не менее, великолепен, хотя пользователи ноутбуков с разрешением 1440×900 будут постоянно открывать и закрывать его.
Итак, с версией 7 Altiverb крадет корону свертки у… Altiverb 6! Это быстро, непритязательно и всегда звучит невероятно и эта задача по созданию потрясающей атмосферы реального мира и моделирования классического снаряжения остается неизменной, как никогда.
Это все еще не совсем нацелено на «электронных» продюсеров, но если вы хотите поместить гитару, фортепиано, ударную установку или певца в совершенно убедительный зал, церковь, студию, стадион, клуб или, э-э, ведро, просто нет более тонкого решения чем это.
Тем не менее, обновляющих любые версии Altiverb, выпущенные до 2010 года, просят сбросить довольно серьезные 159 евро за то, что мы бы не назвали «существенным» обновлением — и которое никоим образом не делает его предшественника почти устаревшим. Некоторым это будет непросто.

Why won’t Live 9 recognize Altiverb 7 after update to 7.1?
I seem to remember this being a problem before, and I can’t remember if it turned out to be the fault Altiverb makers Audioease, or if it was Ableton.
Anyways: I had Altiverb 7 installed, and have used it in a couple of projects. I just updated to 7.1.2, and now Live 9 says the plug-in can’t be found when I open the projects where I use the plug-in.
Why won’t Live recognize Altiverb? It is still called «Altiverb 7», as is clearly seen when I search for the plug-in.
This is very annoying, because naturally I don’t remember the preset I used, the settings I used etc. for Altiverb …
Any clever solutions for this problem?

Did you find a solution to this? I have the same — years of projects with lost Altiverb settings because of this.

It works if I add Altiverb to a new project and save that — this reopens fine.
But if I try to open a bit older project (any of the ones from over 6 years), it says it can’t find Altiverb. Also, Audioease update Altiverb 6 to 7 so that the plugin id is same — all the old projects use Altiverb 7 as well. Or would, if they would open. So I can’t open them with any older version.

Anyone figure out why this happens or how to fix it? I’m having the same issue in Live 10 with Altiverb 7 after updating from 7.3.5 to 7.3.6.

For this issue, the only solution I know that works with newer and older versions of plugins, is to have, in your case, both 7 and 7.1.2 versions installed. That way your older projects pick up the 7 version and if you want to «upgrade» them to 7.1.2 just make a new copy of 7.1.2 in those projects and transfer the settings manually or via creating/saving presets from the 7 version.

Here’s what I received from Altiverb tech support:
From Altiverb 7.0 to Altiverb 7.1 the Altiverb plug-in changed from Audio Unit plug-in format (internal). Any Audio Unit host could deal with this, except Live. We asked Ableton repeatedly to fix this, but they were not interested. If you now did an update to the latest Altiverb 7 and you were using Altiverb 7.0 before, then sorry, your projects cannot open with this modern Altiverb 7, nothing we can do about this.
Ableton, PLEASE FIX THIS.
