Convolve it!

Hi there,

I created a few Impulses using Apple’s Impulse Response utility software. Which is slightly different than the balloon trick used in class. The Impulse Response utility sends a 20 Hz to 20K Hz sweep through the room, that is then recorded and flatted to an impulse.

The first IR is of the Great Hall in the CFA:

The second is through my VOX AC30 amplifier’s spring reverb. I also included another file where it was a clap. The high transients really make the spring reverb sound interesting.

The experimental pieces I chose were a vinyl sound from the internet. I thought it would add that vinyl sound to a modern recording. For my last convolution, I did a Lion’s roar. Which created these very interesting sound clouds of tones from the Cherokee talking clip. Here is all of the recordings:

 

Have a good one!
