Convolution Reverb & Impulse Responses
January 27th, 2010 • Music • 2 comments
I was looking around the internet and came across an incredible blog which hosts some of the finest examples of hardware modeled reverb impulse responses I’ve found – best of all they are donationware which means you can download now and pay what you think they are worth (or download now and offer a donation at a later date when you have the money).
You can use these reverb impulses in any plug-in that supports convolution reverb. For Mac, Apple’s Pro Logic - Space Designer supports them. For Windows SIR supports them.
A direct link to the reverb impulse entries on the blog can be found here: Impulse Sets
What are Reverb Impulse Responses?
“In audio signal processing, convolution reverb is a process for digitally simulating the reverberation of a physical or virtual space.” – Wikipedia
What’s good about convolution reverb is that you can model practically any space in existence. These spaces can then be used with a plug-in to simulate whichever space has been modeled. For example, you may want your vocal track to sound like it was recorded in the Sistine Chapel – if that space was modeled it could be done.
Not only real life spaces have to be modeled, it is also possible to model hardware such as a Lexicon Reverb for example – which means you have practically free access to hundreds of hardware boxes without having to fork out huge sums of money for the privilege. All you need are some impulse responses and the right plug-ins.
