IR-Live brings realistic studio convolution reverb to the stage – with low latency and over 2,000 acoustic spaces.

With the same acclaimed sound quality as Waves’ IR1 engine, your venue can take on the characteristics of over 2,000 spaces – from fine opera houses to punk rock clubs – drawn from a 4.8 GB library of meticulously recorded impulses. A streamlined, multitouch interface allows quick adjustments during the show: pre-delay from 0 to 500 ms, reverb time scaling up to 400% and damping via high and low shelving EQ. You can import custom impulse responses, and IR-Live is just as useful as a time-saving convolution reverb in the studio.
