In natural IRs, there is no distinct delineation between ER and TR; the definition of where the best ER/TR-X crossover point is subjective. The user is allowed to modify the automatic decision of the plug-in by using the ER/TR-X control, in milliseconds, relative to the automatic crossover point.

In IRs where the direct signal is not found, the Direct Gain and Predelay become disabled.

If the direct signal has already been removed by the user before importing an IR, or if the source of the IR is not acoustically natural, and the direct path is not a part of it, then the plug-in may detect the first early-reflection as direct.

In that case, the user should make sure that the Direct On/Off button is On. In some cases, if the IR is too short or if its behavior is not acoustically natural, the plug-in may fail to detect the Direct, ER, or Tail as separate parts.

This is typical of small rooms or spaces with a reflective floor. The direct signal and the ER cannot be separated, theoretically, since the first ER arrives before the direct path response terminates. They appear as mixed in the IR. In such cases the plug-in presents the best separation, possible, but the direct would appear to include some reflections.

CROSSTALK : Range: 0.0 to 100.0; Default 0.0

This control is only available in the "Efficient" components.

This controls how much Crosstalk is allowed between the IR-series’ input channels. When the Crosstalk is 0.0 the process is multi-mono, convolving left to left and right to right.

When Crosstalk is at 100.0, the plug-in will convolve a summed stereo input. The dry signal is not affected, so the reverb will have elements from the left channel in the reverb of the right channel and vice versa.

IR-360, IR-L, IR-1 specifications

Waves is a trusted name in the audio processing industry, and its range of plugins has consistently set the standard for professional audio production. Among its extensive lineup, the Waves IR-1, IR-L, and IR-360 are renowned for their advanced convolution reverb capabilities, delivering studio-quality reverb effects that enhance any sound environment.

The Waves IR-1 is a high-quality convolution reverb plugin that offers exceptional sound quality and versatility. Featuring a wide array of impulse responses derived from actual acoustic spaces, the IR-1 allows users to recreate the sound of various environments, from lush concert halls to intimate rooms. One of its standout features is the ability to manipulate the reverb tail, making it possible to fine-tune the duration and character of the effect. The IR-1 also includes controls for early reflections, damping, and pre-delay, enabling users to craft a reverb that perfectly complements their mix.

The Waves IR-L is a more streamlined version of the IR-1, designed for professionals who demand high-quality reverb but prefer a simplified interface. While it retains the core convolution technology and impulse response library of the IR-1, the IR-L focuses on ease of use, allowing for quick adjustments without sacrificing sound quality. One innovative feature is its “scalable” plugin structure, which lets users modify the plugin interface size based on their screen space. This makes IR-L ideal for both studio work and live sound applications.

Waves IR-360 is designed for immersive audio and 3D sound environments. By providing surround sound capabilities, it enables users to place sounds in a 360-degree space, making it ideal for film scoring and virtual reality audio. Like its predecessors, the IR-360 includes a rich selection of impulse responses, but it also integrates features tailored for spatial audio creation. This includes customizable parameters for azimuth and elevation, allowing precise control over sound placement in three-dimensional space. Additionally, the IR-360 supports various surround formats, making it versatile for multiple audio production contexts.

In summary, Waves IR-1, IR-L, and IR-360 offer powerful and innovative convolution reverb solutions, each designed with specific user needs in mind. With their advanced capabilities, extensive impulse response libraries, and user-friendly interfaces, these plugins cater to a wide range of audio production applications, setting new standards in reverb technology. Whether for music production, post-production, or immersive audio experiences, these tools are essential for achieving high-quality soundscapes.
