Altiverb in 2024

Altiverb is an expensive IR based / convolution reverb. I love reverb but am often frustrated with plugins not sounding quite how I would like.

I became aware of Altiverb recently and it appears to be the best sounding reverb I’ve heard, at least for a plugin. Checkout the demo below of someone just clicking through presets. It sounds Good to me, and there is plenty of options to shape each IR / space / capture.

But it’s $520 at Sweetwater and has been around for a really long time. Seems a little ridiculous. I’m sure if I put effort in I could find a good reverb IRs to load in some free / cheap program.

But buying this could be a real solution, remove some frustration. I have a few good reverbs and yeah it’s on me for not making hit songs / mixes with them. But as far as I can tell IR based reverb suites me better and this plugin has a Ton of spaces and options.

Thoughts?
