33. t to the next due to vast differences in standards behaviors structures and capabilities that each platform relies on Custom Convolution Impulses We enjoy capturing the unique acoustic characteristics of spaces and locations that we come across from time to time Sampling environments is similar to sampling instruments in many ways It s done with portable loudspeakers to produce a special sine wave sweep that covers a wide spectrum from 22 Hz to 22 kHz We then use dedicated deconvolution software to decode the resulting audio into an impulse response file which is a wav file with special phase frequency and timing information embedded in the audio Most impulses sound like an odd sort of sharp snap like a balloon pop or starting pistol fired in the environment that was captured which is is in fact how impulses used to be made When loaded into a compatible convolution reverb effect such as the one built into Kontakt these impulses impart their sonic properties fairly well into most sounds Of course it s an imperfect science and much is lost in the translation especially if the sound being played through it also has it s own strong tonal phase or reflective properties Sometimes the results are incredibly lifelike Sometimes they re awful It all depends on the sound the impulse the plugin and the settings used Then again you may find some unexpectedly useful and interesting results through a little experimentation
