What is algorithmic reverb?
In the parlance of music production the term ‘algorithmic reverb’ is usually being used to describe a class of reverbs that use delay lines, loops and filters to simulate the general effects of a reverberant environment in an acoustically acceptable manner.
Do you need convolution reverb?
Because convolution reverb uses recordings from real locations, it’s great when you need to replicate a believable space. This can be especially important in film and video game scoring. It’s also good for when you need to add a barely-there “invisible” reverb. They’re not for everyone.
What can you do with the convolution reverb device?
The IR Measurement Tool device facilitates the creation of personal IRs. Use it to get a perfect sample from your own hardware or just drag and drop an audio file into the Convolution Reverb device. You don’t even need to stick to reverberant spaces.
What does convolution reverb mean in acoustic photography?
What is convolution reverb? Convolution is acoustic photography. It captures the sound of a room or effects processor. This capture could be the spectral imprint of an equaliser, the tone of an amplifier or the time and colour of decay in a reverberant room or effects processor.
How does convolution reverb work in Ableton Live 9?
Convolution Reverb in Ableton Live 9 Suite A convolution reverb takes a sample from a real-world space (called an impulse response or IR) and uses this to digitally simulate the reverberation of that space.
What are the different types of digital reverbs?
Today’s digital reverbs come in two flavors: convolution and synthetic (also called algorithmic). A convolution reverb is sort of like the digital reverb equivalent of a sampling keyboard, as it’s based on capturing a sonic “fingerprint” of a space (called an impulse) and applying that fingerprint to a sound.
