ProVerb

I've got those links too, motuhelper.

Your test sounds encouraging so far; I'm seriously hoping Shooshie's test favoured Altiverb by way of its use of a proprietary IR.

How much computer drain does the Pro Verb create?

Haven't tried Proverb much other than to use it on a snare track that I'd also put the leveler on. Just used the "drum" preset and I gotta say WOW, very nice combination of the two. I also use Altiverb and love it and I think those who own it will still like Proverb. I can see each plug having certain strengths that will make it a go to plug for certain things.

Gotta try it on a vocal now and see how it responds to loud and soft passages.

Drag them into the waveform display in ProVerb and then
you can save into Shared or User accounts.

I just lost a long post due to my dodgy connection, so I'll try to sum it up briefly:

IR library corrupted (UNIX executable, long, old story).

Decided to re-download all files (huge task; could take 6 months or more).
Prefer to get it right, so what should I go for?
AIFF interleaved? SDII? Does it matter?

3 hours into this and it seems they're a mix of AIFF, WAV and SDII.

Simple question now:
Will ProVerb read these?

I don't know, I'm not sure you're a registered DP user.

Yes, it will handle all of those. The manual lists all those file types and an etc. Not sure what files the etc. covers.

Thank you, wurliuchi.

I didn't want to have to go to the MOTU site 'cause it's a pain to endure the slow page loading (slow connection) just to hunt down a simple particular.
That's great news. Thank you again!

Okay Monkey Man, I had a chance to try ProVerb a bit. The verdict so far is it sounds great. I compared it to the Waves IR, which isn't Altiverb, but is still a great sounding convo-verb. Proverb holds its own. It won't replace the Waves IR for me (or if I dump Waves and go with Audioease, Altiverb), but it will do the job. I think you will be very pleased.

Can't seem to get the ir's by MOTU to load. Is this a bug?

I just played with this a little today and it has a nice clean, transparent sound IMO. I agree with Shooshie that it's going to take some refinement on the part of the user to make it shine, but it's already much cleaner than the WaveArts Masterverb.

I am avoiding my o/t comment here and hope we can keep at least THIS thread about Proverb...
