DVD
Content : 820 IRs Folder
organization
This
DVD is organized as follow :
IRs are gathered in nine main categories within
nine folders :
1. IR-ACOUSTIC MINIVERB :
True acoustic IRs of small objects like boxes,
buckets and more.
2. IR-ACOUSTIC MODELING :
Computer simulation of various environments and
rooms.
3. IR-ACOUSTIC MODELING CRE :
Computer simulation of various fantasy and
creative environments and rooms.
4. IR-ACOUSTIC SPACE :
True acoustic IRs recorded in various
environments and rooms.
5. IR-ELECTRO MECHANIC :
IRs recorded from various electromechanical
devices like spring or plate reverberators.
6. IR-HIGH END HARDWARE :
IRs recorded from high-end electronic hardware
reverberation units.
7. IR-LOW END HARDWARE :
IRs recorded from low-end electronic hardware
reverberation units.
8. IR-SOFTWARE :
IRs recorded from various reverberation software.
9. IR-SPECIAL SOUND DESIGN :
IR intended for special effects. They are both
acoustic and electronics.

About
us
We are a team of professional sound
designers working in a large range of sound and media
activities, using advanced digital equipment and
computer technologies.
Having a long time interest in acoustics and
reverberation, we felt very concerned to further use,
produce and develop impulse response files intended
to convolution reverberation.
We worked for about one year to produce this first
DVD collection.
Why
have we recorded and produced such IRs
Analog
and mechanical devices (from spring, plate and echo
tape machines)
We found several reasons to record old
analog devices IRs :
Old analog devices like echo tape machines, spring
and plate reverberators have usually quite a bad
signal to noise ratio (about 60 dB). Using sinus
sweep recording technics gives, after deconvolution,
a greater S/N ratio (80 to 100 dB) compared to
original hardware machines.
This method allow to virtually increase S/N ratio
keeping the original device sound quality and color.
As
well, there is no need to use plug-ins or simulation
software that reproduce such old devices.
Any convolution reverberator could do the same job.
This represent another advantage to get old devices
IRs.
Acoustic
modeling : classic rooms & creative (from various
simulators)
Some acoustic simulators can render 32 bit
float reverberation IRs of non-existent, supernatural
or fantasy custom acoustic environements and places (i.e.
a rubber walls room).
Acoustic modeling allow very accurate geometrical
structures simulations (i.e. a golden ratio room).
Software
reverb (from computer reverb)
Using software reverb to create IRs gives
the ability to mix, combine and modulate many reverb
colors and algorythms. In that way, we could get a
totaly new dimention in IR creativity and design.
Producing this software reverb IRs serie gives with
only one plug-in (any convolution reverb) an access
to this wide range of algorythms colors.
Special
sound design (from various audio sources and sound
processing software)
Isn’t it fun to convolve some resonant
radiator or thunder strike with any audio source ?
Miniverb
(from very small environments)
Why do not get small environments IRs like
tea pots, plastic buckets or boxes ?
How could sound a fly inside a pipe ? … Try it !
Acoustic
space (from real places or room environments)
These are the best, true and natural reverb
we can hear.
At the present time, we recorded most of them at 96
KHz / 32 & 24 bit.
Audio
files recording information
All files were recorded in WAV format
(32 bit float IEEE type 3 @ 96 Khz).
A few of them were converted from 16/44.1, 24/48 and
24/96 recordings.
All IRs have a total dynamic range (fade out envelope)
of 120 dB (files end at –120 dB VU). It doesn’t
mean that IRs have obviously a S/N ratio of 120 dB.
Remark
:
Due to some reverb software’s
specifications limits, you may have to shorten tails
(release envelope) of some IRs (i.e. very long
reverbs) to a few seconds only.
In such cases, you may use any audio file editor to
do this job.
If an IR’s tail is cut around –80 dB or
less, don’t forget to apply a little fade out
envelope at the end of file to smooth the cut.
