I really hope you are able to give impulse response recordings! I've always been looking for a source for them and they are hard to find. Thanks for this! :)

Oh yes if I have the magical number of 100 I have a library coming up. Also I'm thinking about creating a convolution reverb plugin for others to use.

This is great! This video is linked to me by our Signals and Systems course, and it's so nice to see that the convolution and impulse response has a real use, and you can achieve so much more with it other than playing around with maths :)

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

HI Ozan. Thank you so much and what kind of course is that? I'm not aware of it.

@ozansan2217 3 года назад

@@FreeToUseSounds Thanks for the reply! It's a course on signal processing in my university, which is primarily concerned with waves and practically any change over time, and how to transform and perform analysis on waves. There's no infringement or anything if you are wondering, just a link to this video. We're learning the mathematical background of the process that you've performed, and the background of Ableton computing the sound with reverb added, how to compute convolutions, and how to obtain sound waves (or, any other wave, really) after the wave is passed through a filter. I imagine any kind of filter can be obtained by popping a balloon, and recording the sound that comes back, not necessarily reverb. You probably can obtain an "old radio" effect by playing a popping sound through a radio and recording the output, and put it in the same plugin, assuming it just computes convolutions. The same process could also be performed underwater to obtain an "underwater" effect. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for inspiring me to pay more attention to my class! It's a delight to see that the subjects we learn do have real world applications :)

@@FreeToUseSounds Or how about cutting out your favorite parts of the reverb/space acoustic and using them in your own things? Some of that's gonna get downright fun, especially when you thought you're going to hear one thing, yet you get something entirely different?

@JerryGartnerPersonal 3 года назад

This is brilliant! What an amazing way to capture an environment! I wonder how different frequencies affect this. I imagine a 90Hz boom acting like a reverb EQ at 90Hz. I'll definitely be experimenting. Thank you!

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Hi Jerry! Thank you so much for watching and let me know what you find out about it.

@BlindLibrary 2 года назад

I'll give a huge note to self: Try to keep your responses as balanced and clean as possible. Remember, you don't want someone coughing during an impulse recording, or, do you? Any background noise caught in the recording for all intent and purpose is now part of the response! Keep as quiet a noise floor as you can. That's the most important thing I can stress.

Yes and also spaces with reverb like between mountains or forests. The larger the space the more boom you need. Some sound designers using speakers to to create a sweep.

@CreativeRamy 3 года назад

when you record the impulse response does it have to be in stereo using something like the BP4025 ?

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Well you use what you have and if I had a spatial or VR set I would use it and if I only have one microphone I would use that too.

@CreativeRamy 3 года назад

@@FreeToUseSounds so what you're saying is that it doesn't matter how you record it, would the reason be because the file would be used as a sample within convolution reverb pro?

@@CreativeRamy No I never said anything about it doesn't matter...If you want to be more professional you use different microphones and different setups.

@musar03580 2 года назад

@@FreeToUseSounds I think @Elizabeth's Faith means, do you edit out the initial sound of the pop? I have this question too. People describing how to record impulse responses sometimes talk about cutting off the initial portion of the sound and using only the tail of the recording (i.e. only the reverb itself) as the impulse response file.

@dtjmusiclife2023 8 месяцев назад

When you play electric guitar in your bedroom and put reverb pedal in front of it and you set in Hall/Plate/Spring etc. Whatever setting it is... The question is..? Is it you already or actually simulating the impulse response of electric guitar sound by adding reverb on it..?

@brushstroke3733 3 года назад

Can you use the reverse response to undo the grainy sound of 1930's records or the compressed, flat sound of some classic rock records? Make an IR that corresponds to their production techniques, then use it to reverse their production back to the original dry sound of the musicians without effects, etc. I would love to hear Jimmy Rodgers, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, etc., sounding like they were recorded in modern studios.

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Hi! Hmm that is a very interesting question but I personally need to pass on answering this because of lack of experience. But if you want I can copy and paste this question to the facebook group I'm part of? Would you like me to do that?

@brushstroke3733 3 года назад

@@FreeToUseSounds Yes, I am interested to confirm that it would work as I imagine it. Actually, I think you could answer the question by a quick experimemt: use your original voice recordings in the parking structure along with the impulse response you made there, but just apply the impulse response in reverse. If the final result sounds like you talking in a studio with low ambient reverb, it probably means the technique could work to undo other ambient effects like microphone and preamp settings, tape sound, compression, etc.
