#Altiverb ir torrent mac#
I've bought a bunch of IRs - the IR folder on my Mac is just over 10GB Re Q2 and Q3, it depends on what you want to achieveĪre you wanting to add 'natural' acoustics to a sound ie reverb or delaysĪre you wanting to alter the sound in un-natural ways? I've been doing a lot on my own and learned a lot, but I'm by no means an expert. I've done a number of these now and it's very simple to create quality IRs.

Give the info pdf a read and let me know if you have questions on how it works. The files automatically line up and it streamlines the process. I HIGHLY recommend using Praxis's impulse files and deconvolver (web site here). This is realted to deconvolving only, I'm not trying to get into a 96k vs 48k argument. 24bit and above just bog down your processing. I use files that are 48k and record at 16 bit. The other thing that is key - you MUST record at the same sample rate that you are outputting. You can spend more, if you like, but these do just fine. I have two Behringer ECM8000's that work great and they're generally about $50. Q4: Sounds good, except I would use a single measurement mic (flat EQ, omni) or a pair of them. It will all create something interesting and keep the essence of the impulse. Once you have that down, you can really do anything - hit a cymbol, scream, play back a lion's roar. I've also heard a lot of folks like to pop a balloon, shoot a starter pistol, etc - key is to have an impulse that hits every frequency and has some time to decay in the space. I generally start with a 4 second burst that sweeps from 10Hz to somewhere around 24kHz. Q3: Best (purest?) IRs come from a sound that excites every frequency. I'm also curious to see responses to this question. The best use I've found is when I'm doing on-set recording to go ahead and get some IRs for the space I record in so the post audio folks will have something useful for that they can apply to dry effects, ADR, etc. Q2: I really have not used IRs so much to justify buying an entire library.

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.
