thanks

i test it and do not appreciate at all

...ok

so i am lucky to have good ears to be able to make difference between a good reverb and a better one

my choice go to MMultiBandConvolution (35€)
and the sound of Pianoteq  is wonderful with it (and all the orchestral instruments too)

thank you
but i already buy MultiBandConvolution from MeldaProduction and i am happy with it...

May I ask how exactly works the convolution reverb technology, in terms of be able to get the effect produced over a sound by a environment, and capture, translate this effect into a filter?

Supose someone want to recreat the natural reverberation of playing on the Notre Dame Cathedral.

But a room can be very complex, especially if you want to work with 5.1
A complex room can have different materials, walls textures.  So the reverberation that come in the front can be different than the one from sides or from the back.

If you have a sound source in that room and some microphones then yes, the sound will take many complex and interfering paths from the source to the mics, but it still ends up as a few channels of recorded waveforms. You can record the response from a test signal (frequency sweep or whatever) and it should be the same every time you do this. This recording has enough information in it to work out what you would have recorded if *any* sound had been produced by that same source. In practice, there are limitations and reverb implementations may differ in CPU cost and quality, but the results can sound damn good!

I think you could do it with a relatively cheap speaker and recording equipment. You might need to buy some software to process the results into an "impulse response", but maybe there's something free. I bet the hard thing is actually getting a good, low-noise recording in a space that is free of other sources of noise, and from a part of the space that actually sounds good through the mics as you've positioned them. You could spend all day saying "maybe it's better over here", and end up with hundreds of recordings that you can't decide between! Then you might find that your results don't actually sound all that different from the many impulse responses already available which might be better quality anyway, and the "wonderful acoustic feeling" of the space you were in was mainly just down to actually being there!

same in the standard version

very nice

I assume there are files available somewhere in cyberland as well
