Altiverb XL + Stereo/Quadro IRs - Good for LCR?
Hi there,
I wonder how others use Altiverb for sounds which are panned off center in LCR configuration. For louder things that draw the viewer's attention, simply panning a mono reverb is not good enough IMHO especially in bigger spaces. In most cases I use Phoenix Surround reverb on a LCR or 5.0 bus for this. But sometimes I'd like to use Altiverb because some of its IRs were a perfect match for the dialogues or in Speakerphone. Unfortunately most of the IRs (if not all) are only stereo-stereo or stereo-quadraphonic. Now I wonder if it's OK to just turn up the center level control in Altiverb? Is this simply the sum of the left and right responses? Thanks Last edited by rantanplan; 05-16-2022 at 05:32 AM. Reason: Title add specific Version |

Are you using Altiverb XL? Depending on the IR, that might help.

It's on a 5.0 bus hence I shows level adjustments for front, rear and center. |

I use Spanner after Altiverb to toe it into the centre when using it on dialogue.

I've always just turned up the center control.
It never seems to cause a problem.

What does it do, it calculates a real center, like M/S processing? |

That's reassuring! You also did stereo downmixes?
