$129 for the Waves IR-1, but if you received an email from them, you may have an even better discount! This isn't the IR-L, it's the $500 Verb from Waves.
 
I bought EastWest Quantum Leap Spaces already, but for the price I could get IR-1, I couldn't pass it up. If you aren't using Convolution Reverbs, you may be missing out on some incredible rooms!
 
I still hope Altiverb will be available for Windows soon, but until then, these are pretty good!

Just announced on facebook...

What does IR-1 do for you that PerfectSpace cannot?

I am so annoyed that Altiverb 7 hasn't been released for Windows yet! The 32-bit version is seriously unstable on my system! Is anyone using IR-1? Is it any good? And how about custon and/or 3rd party IRs? It's hard to move away from the excellent IR library that Audio Ease have. I used to use Altiverb for a lot foley and dubbing work.

Bit - I have no idea but that is indeed a good question. I have never really liked PerfectSpace. It was such a resource hog and sounds a but metalic and digital to me. But, it's been years since I've tried it so perhaps, now that I have a wünderPC compared to my old stuff, I will suit me better?

I gave up on Altiverb a few years back. I now use a combo of MIR, IR-1 for convo & asst. algo's.

With PerfectSpace, as with any convolution reverb, sound quality is primarily a function of the impulse response file. Yes, some of the bundled IRs do sound metallic or otherwise unpleasant in some way. Those, I think, are included for when you specifically want a metallic or artificial-sounding effect. Fortunately, not all of them are like that. Some are pretty good. Poke around on the 'net and you'll find lots more good IRs to augment the ones Cakewalk have provided.
 
What I don't know, and partly why I posed the question, is whether two different convolution reverb plugins will produce the same or different results with the same IR. Seems to me they'd be the same or very similar, but I've not tested that assumption myself.
 

This is one reason why I actually prefer algo reverbs.  I'm not limited to tweaking (if tweaking is even possible) already existing spaces.  Not that I don't use my convolution verbs on occasion...I do...but I much prefer my algos day in and day out.

Hey!
 
I have both IR-L and IR-L live or whatever they are called. What do you get with the full version that I dont already have?

I see what you mean and I agree. But what I recall when going through them back in the days, was that they all had this unpleasant sound to them and not sounding like "real" spaces even though the IRs claimed to be just that. I can't remember if I tried other IRs with it though. I remember the first time I tried Altiverb. It took me 30 minutes before I ordered my own copy! 
 
I will play around with it and see if I change my mind. I actually have no idea what impact the code have on the IR and how it sounds, I guess I just assumed there were a certain influence but I'm not going to speculate. I'm not smart enough
 
Ol'Pal - I do use algo reverbs for music, but when creating spaces you can see, movies and TV stuff, IR makes things a whole lot better. Also, for some "real" instruments like choir, strings, brass band etc I like to have them "recorded" in whatever type of room that suits the rest of the song. I'm an avid IR enthusiast but I couldn't do without the good old reverbs either

Read your IR-L manual, the different features between both (& 360) are explained there.
