    Convolution Reverb

    I'm fascinated by Linux, and the possibility of squeezing more performance out of my computer. A questions that's way beyond where I am now, but I'm curious none the less - is there a convolution reverb that will work under any of the linux builds?

    I’ve used both Freeverb and Gverb in Ardour a couple of times in the past and how to say that I’ve never liked the result. I’m usually dealing with classical music and the reverbs almost always sound too unnatural. I always get that metallic tin-box sound.

    The reverb I’m most satisfied with is the reverb that comes with Ecasound. It sounds quite natural and smooth, but one problem I never could fix here was a slight echo-effect. The Ecasound reverb is also available through the gui of ”Ecamegapedal” here as “advanced reverb” .

    I don’t think there’s some real ir-convolution for Linux yet, but I certainly hope there will be in the future.

    As for pure vst-effects in linux, I’m still out of luck with dssi-vst and can only get vst-instruments to work. Personally I import recorded sound from Ardour to programs in WinXP and then add some reverb.

    There is a convolution program for use with jack, called jconv, at
    http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/
    with a design that is geared toward real-time use.

    I just tried it out and it works... but the leading zero in its version number is well deserved. No documentation, no front-end, etc...
