(Yes, I am doing some actual work there, so I will use the real deal, just curious for the future.) What reverb would get me closest to a real sounding version of Sunset Sound's live echo chamber?ĭoes Bricasti M7 try to emulate actual spaces? Does Altiverb have that IR?Īnyone who know the live verb from Sunset's studio 1, a recommendation would be great. Maybe you should record some short snippets of dry material through the actual chamber too, so you can compare all three. Would be an interesting comparison indeed. That being said, the Bricasti sounds awesome and I'm sure Casey will be able to create a fantastic preset for you. For sampling a real space you would normally set up speakers and mics which the echo chamber obviously already has)
BRICASTI M7 VS ALTIVERB PDF
(the pdf link to 'Making IR's from Gear' is probably more helpful then the pdf about sampling real spaces, you should think of the echo chamber as a reverb unit, not as a space for this purpose. They have some great online documentation for the sampling process: That'll give you a clean sweep with enough silence at the end that the IR pre-processor (that's the app that automatically converts your recording into a IR sample) recognizes. It would be helpful to create the sine sweep using the Altiverb Sweep Generator, a handy included utility. AndrewsThat's basically what you would do anyway when creating an Impulse Response sample (IR) for Altiverb so there's no difference.
like I said, I'm a fan of great gear, but openly admit, I'm no tech. I'll also note, Casey at Bricasti made a very compelling offer to help me out.
BRICASTI M7 VS ALTIVERB PRO
I lean towards easy and effective and prefer to concentrate on recording, mixing and the results.īUT, that said, would I be able to do the same if I "tracked" a sine sweep through the Live Chamber, at 24/96 in Pro Tools? Then used those tracks to do the Altiberb work at my own pace back at the home studio? I have not made my own spaces yet (or samples) and am the first to admit to being semi technophobic. I'm not sure how the owners would feel about sampling the room (possibly an interesting discussion) and what kind of arrangements are usually made when a room is sampled, but if it's just for your own project maybe it shouldn't be a big deal. Really easy, if you figure out what to do beforehand and have the echo chamber wired up in a session anyway, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of minutes. What you would need to do is record a sine sweep through the echo chamber, Altiverb comes with a handy program that can create sweeps for you and converts your recorded sweeps into IR samples.
It does have beautiful Bill Putnam chambers from Cello Studios but I've no idea how they compare to Sunset.īut if you're working there, why not sample it yourself? With Altiverb this is easy.
For instance 'Amsterdam Hall' in the Bricasti sounds really different from Altiverbs 'Concertgebouw', both sound beautiful, but to me the Altiverb IR sounds more like the real deal (and I've heard the real deal live - but almost impossible to compare that experience with evaluating a reverb through speakers though.)Īltiverb does not have the Sunset live echo chamber in the factory presets I think (you could check it on their site). The Bricasti has some patches that refer to actual spaces but I don't think the unit is about accurately modelling spaces, I'd say they're just programmed to sound really good with the filename giving you a hint of the sort of space the preset is about. I demoed & reviewed the Bricasti and use Altiverb a lot.
