When you are given a convolution patch and an infinite number of sounds, there is a lot you can explore. When I started exploring, I was expecting a lot of unique outcomes, which was true but didn’t sound as well as I would imagine. So I found the best 4 IRs. The first video shows me using Impulse Response recordings of popping a balloon in the elevator of Cohon Center, as well as the Morewood Multipurpose room(which had quite a lot of echo as you would see in the video in the second demonstration). The third demonstration shows me using the inbuilt sound ‘arctic.wav’. After experimenting with all the inbuilt sound files, this one sounded the best with the instrumental part of the song as we can observe in the video-

For the fourth IR, I tried out different songs to see what effects it would have. I tried one of my favorite song’s(Kina – Can we kiss forever?)  part with the climax as the IR. It turned out to create a really magical soothing sound if the volume is controlled well enough. However, the original song can barely be heard anymore. The way the song fades out is pretty clean. The first video is the IR recording used and the second video is the outcome.
