The IR1 Convolution Reverb Black Friday deal from Waves cuts 76% off this reverb plugin, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
IR1 Convolution is a convolution reverb built around a library of more than 2,000 impulse responses. The maker says it covers acoustic spaces like the Sydney Opera House, the Grand Ole Opry, the Manhattan Center, Wembley Stadium and Birdland.
The same library has smaller, more everyday spaces too. Waves mentions a stairwell, a church, a car interior and the Todd-AO scoring stage, which suits dialogue and scoring work as well as music.
The impulse library weighs 4.8 GB and spans a wide range of acoustic spaces. Waves says every impulse was captured with premium field-recording gear.
The maker also says IR1 can reproduce classic digital reverb hardware.
You can edit each impulse with several parameters instead of using it as a fixed snapshot. Shaping the reverb envelope lets you build non-linear effects, which is a different job from simply picking a room and dialling in a send level.
The four channel modes give you a choice on the signal chain. Mono suits a single source, mono-to-stereo spreads it, full stereo keeps a stereo source intact, and efficient stereo is the lighter option when you run it on several buses.
Yes. The package includes the sweep file you need to create your own impulses, so a space you record yourself can become a preset in IR1.
IR1 also takes impulses from other sources. You can import third-party impulses from the internet or load WAV files directly.
On Mac, IR1 runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. Formats are VST, AU and AAX.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats. There is no AU on Windows.
