Sampled Acoustics V2

The presets in this section are based on samples of real places. The contents of the Sampled Acoustics V2 folder on the DVD have to be copied into the IR1Impulses V2 folder inside the Waves Plug-Ins folder. You can add or delete folders from this directory. Each time upon loading, the Plug-In will scan the directory and dynamically build its preset menu according to the folder hierarchy.

Virtual Acoustics - Devices and Synthetic

The presets in the Virtual Acoustics-Devices section are samples of a reference hardware Reverb Unit. The Virtual Acoustics-Synthetic presets are synthetically generated and processed IR’s. The contents of the Virtual Acoustics folder on the DVD have to be copied into the IR1Impulses folder inside the Waves Plug-Ins folder. You can copy the Devices and/or Synthetic folders into the IR1Impulses folder, and the Plug-In will scan them upon loading.

Import Impulse Response from File…

The IR-series allows you to import your own IR’s. You can sample them yourself, download them from the Internet, or find them elsewhere.

Import Sweep Response from File…

The IR-1and IR-360allow you to import the Sweep Response that you record in an acoustical space or hardware device. The plug-in will then process that Sweep Response into a new IR.

Here are step by step instructions to make your own IR:

-Play your sweep file supplied on the CD and also downloadable from the Waves website (a 15 second sweep followed by 10 seconds of silence) through speakers in the room to be captured.

-Record the result with 1 or more microphones to 1 or more tracks.

-Create a new folder (We'll name it "My Sweeps") inside your "IR1Impulses V2". folder, where the plug-in searches for new IRs.

-Put your recorded sweep files inside your new "My Sweeps" folder.

-Load the IR-1or IR-360; Press Import Sweep Response From File…

-Guide the browser to the "My Sweeps" folder.

-Load the .wav files one by one as you are prompted by the plug-in.

-After some calculations, an Impulse Response .wir file will be automatically saved next to your sweep files in the "My Sweeps" folder.

-To save this new IR as a preset, press Save, then select Save to New File.

-Navigate to the "My Sweeps" folder.

-Reload the IR-1or IR-360; The new preset will appear in the load menu.

-Congratulations! You have created a new IR! You may now optionally delete the recorded sweep files from the "My Sweeps" folder.
