Hello Toni, You're correct about Waves--no x, y, z files--just surround on their Acoustics.net website and IR bundles (I have the Waves Mercury bundle). www.openairorg.net is the only remaining Ambisonic IR library that I can find. There has been updated info to the site since I first "discovered" it months ago. Although a second website now seems to have vanished, there was a site that hosted the Ambisonic IRs for a classroom, Great Hall, and Octagon. They even included detailed floor plans for the three spaces, showing the various mic locations (00x00y to whatever in 1 meter increments). I had downloaded the zip files while they existed; however, I hesitate to upload these to my own site because the files may have been copyrighted (e.g., leaked Waves raw files). If anybody else can shed light on the site, I don't mind hosting the zip files. I believe each space had about 300 MB of wav files and info available in zipped form. As with OpenAir, the IRs were 24 bit res, 96 kHz sample rate. I've been recording my own IRs, but so far it's hard to get noise out of recordings. I believe any anomolies or noise in the IRs and/or the dry recordings manifest themselves in audible and deleterious ways after processing. Fons A. had pointed out that dc offsets, to include unnatural waveforms resulting from the joining/splicing of files could create unwanted artifacts, too. I always use zero-crossing fades when editing material for my work, but it might also be an advantage to remove very low frequency (infrasonic) content. Kind regards, Eric C.
________________________________ Hi all, Apologies if this has already been asked in this list, but: ** does anybody know of one (or more) library of reverbs in B-format? I'm interested in all possibilities: either as separate downloadable IRs, or as convolution plug-ins, etc. I'm not interested in the decoding of the B-format return to whatever loudspeaker system; only in being able to play myself with the B-format return. Thanks a lot! Toni PS: I guess that Waves actually has one such library, but they only provide the decoded 5.1 returns, thus not exposing the B-format intermediate feeds. So this doesn't count. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
