![]() Q1: I have only downloaded free IRs and swapped with other audio folks. I wouldn't limit yourself when using sounds as impulse responses, but my observation is that shorter sounds with envelope that has an initial transient and a tail work best. I'm not a big fan of a lot of the free impulses you can find on the web (been burned with some stinkers that introduce a ton of noise into the signal) with the exception of two collections.Īnd these samples from the wonderful hardware verb the Bricasti M7, which were generously made free to the public by Casey the co-owner of Bricasti: Their impulse responses are always top notch. The IRs they offer every few weeks or so are also top notch and cover so many needs (although I can always, always use more outdoor stuff). The crew in the Netherlands has been the leader in IR technology for quite some time now. I love Altiverb, not just the software, but the company. I don't have time to address all your questions, but here are a few observations. I'm expect that I'll lose some low end using the 1029a, but is there anything else that I should expect / look out for? Also, is there a benefit to recording IRs at higher sample rates? Can the plug-ins even read the files? I haven't quite figured out the battery power yet, but at first I plan on sampling spaces with wall power. When going out and recording your own, what do you use? At the present my theoretical rig is an iPod line-out > Genelec 1029a and an NT4 > MixPre > M10. If I'm choosing sounds from my effects library are there characteristics that I should I look for? Or is it better to not limit myself and just see what works? It makes total sense, just never thought to look.Īre there any collections that you highly recommend? Do you run into issues with compatibility ie a library was created for Altiverb and as such won't load into TL Space or vice versa?Īs I understand it, pretty much any audio file can become an IR but not every audio file makes a good IR. What other websites do you find useful IRs on?Īfter reading Tim's "Why Use High Sample Rates?" post (a great read, btw) I realized that people are (have been) selling library collections of IRs also. I poked around the internet trying to find new and interesting IRs and found a few resources. So I have another question in a multiple parts: Question #1 While I have access to TL Space, Waves IR-L, and Altiverb the most readily available (installed in the room I do most of my work in) is TL Space. A little background: I'm trying to expand my library of IRs.
