The ir live Black Friday deal is 76% off Waves' IR-Live Convolution Reverb, which puts this reverb plugin at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
IR-Live is a convolution reverb built for the stage. It runs on the same engine as Waves' IR1, so the sound quality carries over, but the interface is streamlined and the latency is low for live use.
The maker says it lets a venue take on the character of more than 2,000 acoustic spaces, from opera houses to punk rock clubs.
The library is 4.8 GB of impulse responses. Waves describes them as meticulously recorded.
The maker also lists multipoint touch sensitivity on the interface.
Damping comes from the high and low shelving EQ, so you can pull the top or bottom end out of the tail.
The reverb time multiplier scales an impulse from a quarter of its original length up to four times longer. Pre-delay can be set anywhere between 0 and 500 milliseconds.
If you have your own impulse responses, you can load them in as WAV files and run them through the same controls.
IR-Live is compatible with MultiRack Native and leading digital consoles. You can also use it with SoundGrid DSP servers.
The maker says it works equally well as a time-saving convolution reverb in the studio, so the plugin is not limited to the stage.
On Mac, it supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes as VST and AAX. There is no AU version on Windows.
That covers both the IR-Live VST and AAX builds, so it slots into most DAW and console setups that host those formats.
