For creating spaces,  film & symphonic I usually prefer using an algo tail while shortening the convo ir's down a bit & treating them like er's.

It's the IR itself that contains the 'sound'. Convo's typically have alot of buildup in the low end. Use a HPF, it's too or metallic try a LPF.
 

Those of us longing for Altiverb 7 on the PC might be satisfied with this:

Combined with their own IRs and the free Samplicity Bricasti IRs, good results can be had.

Interesting. Might demo that. Cheers Eddie!

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

As I understand it, Perfect Space is stereo and IR-1 is true stereo.  True stereo in this context means that there are four impulse files.  One operates on the left channel and sends output to the left channel.  One operates on the left channel and sends output to the right channel.  And so on.  Perfect Space only can utilize two impulse files.  The Voxengo plug from which Perfect Space was derived is true stereo, if I recall correctly.
 
The thing that makes this a pretty good deal, IMO, is that you supposedly get 100 or so impulse sets with it.  For 65 bucks, that alone makes it worth picking up ... assuming the impulse sets are good quality.  Bought up my copy earlier today, but haven't downloaded it yet.

IR-1 is also x64.
The impulses aren't bad, if you don't have them make sure you get the free  Bricasti quad files for Waves from Roger Roos.

Yep, meant to mention that as well.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I already just did download these (not even knowing I'd be getting IR-1 - I do already have IR-L though).  I just read about these in SoundonSound.  If they're as good as the SoS writeup made them sound, then they're not free.  I'll be compelled to send Mr. Roos some money since they are offered as donation-ware.

What about all those impulse sets from our forum friend (why oh why can I not remember his name?) that gave us four Lexicons, Acousticas M7, TC 6000, QRS-XL and the H3000?
 
I still have them. 

You mean Signal to Noise?
I also have some nice Lex+ EMT libs from the now defunct Acousticas, they did the first M7 lib I have.

Yup Carl, that's the guy.

Update for anyone else thinking about buying into this deal.
 
I purchased, downloaded and installed IR-1 and went to check out the 100 or so IR files.  Nowhere to be found.  Checked back at the Waves site, download page, and there they were ... requiring a separate download.  Mucho data (a zip file that is too big for a single-density DVD).  But the number and variety of acoustic spaces represented are very impressive.
 
The question is: is this download sitting there available for anyone, or does it just show up for customers who have bought IR-1?  If the former, then I just wasted 65 bucks.  I would have been happy just using the IR library with IR-L, which I already had.
