Reverb plug-ins for Classical Music Mixing

[vienna1897]

I'm in a situation in which I may have to add some reverb to a classical-music recording of a solo string instrument (I thought my two microphone set-up would work, but it didn't; I ended up with very good detail but very little of the room's considerable resonance and sonic depth). I imagine that's a bit of a sacred cow, in that I'm supposing that the difference between natural reverberance and electronically-generated reverberance is still pretty audible to a sensitive ear, in spite of whatever technological advances have occurred in recent years. Or am I wrong? Altiverb had been recommended to me, but it's extremely expensive and I'm not sure that when all is said and done I won't have traded one problem for another, i.e. an "unnatural" sound instead of the somewhat undesirable sound I had previously. Any thoughts and opinions would be welcomed. Thanks.

a convolution reverb is probably what you're looking for, i think it will give you the most natural sound...if not altiver you can try tl space (i dont know what format you running) or wave ir-1...all of them are good

Thanks Josh. I should have mentioned: I'm using a Mac iBook G4 with System 10.4.7 installed and 1.2 GBs of RAM; I'm also using ProTools 7.1.

Thanks again,

look into the music production toolkit...it has tl space (it's great) plus a bunch of other stuff at about 500 bucks
