SIR 2

[Loren Littlejohn]

Is great for what it costs. I got it for $140 with 25% off (academic) and it's just great for the price.

That is all.

 

[Metaltastic]

How so dude? What about it I mean?

 

[ForeverDeparted]

Agreed. Very nice and cheap convolution reverb. Worth every penny.

Is it so much better than the free one that its worth the money? I use the free one all the time and think its great. there are a few little things that annoy me from time to time but i'm not sure if thats the sir sound, the sound of reverb on that particular source or if its just impulses in general that have the little quality that I tend to think im hearing sometimes when I use it

 

[Metaltastic]

Well the inherent latency of the free one is annoying, so there's that...

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Well I have no experience with the free one since I'm on mac. But my guess is the biggest improvement over the first is zero latency (or you can set it to 1024 samples). It's flawless in cubase, have not tried it in the wrapper yet though.

Also there is something about the impulses themselves over the first version, apparently they are higher quality.

You know what fuck it I will just post the comparison:

Also the stereo impulses sound great, they actually use a different pulse for each side.

I also dig the ability to add pictures to the pulse files (hey seeing the room is kickass right?).

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

The GUI looks nicer than the first as well (IMO):

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I'm merely saying for the price it's hard to beat.

I'm merely saying for the price it's hard to beat.

That is true. I'm happy with my SIR2 purchase. The included library is quite good.

 

[Kazrog]

It really is great software, it's what I will recommend to Mac users for Recabinet.

STOP TEASING US, FFS,




but yeah SIR2 is amazing

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

So I tried SIR 2 in pro tools using the wrapper today. It's fucking glitchy as hell, but it works if you have the patience to deal with the glitchyness of it.

Works flawless in pro tools and garageband (so it would work great in logic).
