WHAT IS NOT NEW IN 8
Wait? What?
This is what Altiverb 8 continues to deliver, just like Altiverb 7 (and earlier) has been delivering for two decades:
- Backward compatibility, Altiverb 8 opens in sessions/projects that were made with Altiverb since 2006 and the session/project will sound the same.
- All IRs ever released for Altiverb.
- New IRs will be added regularly, for free.
- Fixes and support without yearly fees.
- The option to sell and transfer your license.
- Countless ways of manipulating the reverb sound with controls like reverb time, attack, brightness, pre delay, EQ, damping..
- Revolutionary stage positioning control for placing single members of a group, ensemble or even a complete orchestra on their own individual spot on stage, in any room/concert hall
