Ableton Forum

Hi. I decided to try to switch from Logic/Mainstage to Ableton... nevermind the reason (very anoying, probably Live will start anoyiong me too, but nevermind for now).
I use as my main tool impulse responses of acoustic instruments. I definately need a tool like convolution reverb.
Is it possible to use only this convolution plugin in Live 10 Intro? I'm using convolution reverb now, downloaded from ableton but in Live 10 Trial and I'm not sure if this will work when I buy Live 10 Intro. I don't need the whole Max For Live Package, just this Convolution Reverb, which is free to download from Ableton, right?

Convolution Reverb is a M4L device, so you either need a M4L license, or a Live Suite license.
Live Intro doesn't allow you to run M4L.

The MFL devices Convolution Reverb and Convolution Reverb Pro comes with Max For Live and isn't free otherwise. Your best bet is a second hand Live with MFL, either Standard plus a separate MFL (what I use) or Suite. Alternatively get another convolution reverb.

Waves IR-L Convolution Reverb is on sale $39 at the moment (35.10 with discount link below) as is Waves IR1 Convolution Reverb ($69, or $62.10 with link below. Is more akin to Live's CR Pro), both with a lot of good spaces (separate download).

Altiverb is another popular one, though you can get Live Suite for the price.

Native Instrument's Reflektor runs in the free Guitar Rig 5 Player and is pretty good I think. I believe the price is $99.

Of course any Convolution Reverb will need spaces and there are quite a few free, or cheap, online libraries to assist building your arsenal that you can look at when you got your first tool. Most will work with any Convolution Reverb.

Thanks a million for making it clear to me.
What about 3rd party convoluion plugins that will work with live 10 intro?
And by the way, I don't need any reverbs, I only need a plugin that will load my IRs.

All will work with Live intro AFAIK. I don't really think there are any plug-ins that won't work with Intro.
