Today we're checking out a competition from GPU Audio - how do we make strange IRs? Impulse responses can be made in several ways, so let's dive in to some more unconventional practices.

This video is kind of eye-opening to us old farts stuck in the past who still struggle to get a handle on this new-fangled Amp Sim and IR-based workflow used in many modern productions. Congrats on making a creative, quality, and informative video on this topic. Something that seems to be sorely lacking on many Audio-related channels these days. Which, I suspect comes down creators trying to please the algorithm. But, thankfully I subscribed to this channel for just this type of quality content not found elsewhere often.

"ReaVerb is an IR Loader..." 🤯🤯 I've had a recent OBSESSION with IR's - I'm a bassist (primarily) and it is pretty common for me to double or even triple on gigs with Electric Bass, Double Bass and Bass Synth. Given that I have a little 5 door hatchback, space and amount of gear (especially considering my pedal board, amp, speaker cabinets, stands, PA speakers, mixer, etc.), so I have been considering buying an electric upright bass. Most however, sound like a fretless bass guitar (which I have one, and could just bring that instead!). However, I recently found that 3Sigma sells Double Bass IRs! That, combined with TC Electronic's relatively new IR Loader pedal, could get me a decent approximation of a real double bass!

Brilliant,- some stuff I was wondering about just got clear to me. Thanks.

[@billiehaycraft4064]

Love this.... think some of this would work well on the album to create atmosphere perhaps 🤔

Awesome video Adam!

[@Andyw1228]

Hi Adam, nice video again. I love your style, knowledge and overall competence. You surely could go deeper when hitting scientific stuff (like this). I think your audience is capable of understanding deeper physics and math… SpectreSound isn’t more scientific, but he often uses scientific methods (double blind tests, nulling…), like when he wants to falsify some old myths (tone wood). But, isn’t it plain normal convolution instead of deconvolution ? A convolution reverb does the same, it convolutes two complex math signals (say alternating current from a pickup ) and an IR stored or loaded into it. Or am I wrong? For me a deconvolution should be the opposite, say take away the IR from a reverbed guitar signal, resulting in a dry signal.

What would you do for a weird sound? How would you get creative, and are you going to enter the competition?

[@christofdonat2702]

Would be interesting to experiment with modular synthesizers to create IRs. Maybe use the sine sweep as an input, but have some e.g. LFO driven stuff in there, so that the sound changes over time, while the sine sweep goes over it. Or using the click-method, have it trigger e.g. a filter envelop.

[@adamsteelproducer]

Sounds cool! I don’t have a modular setup but if you do (or even a software version) make something cool for sure

[@FriendlyAudio]

@@adamsteelproducer I wanna take clean ir's from different mics using the same measurement system to get a flat signal into each microphone to capture that specific frequency response for each microphone equally and then eq match any microphone to any other by sending a white noise blip through though's impulse responses and after eq matching it and making it into another impulse response to then put that onto my desired microphone and get the same sound signature as the other... of course, I'd have to do a bit more than just eq matching if I want the same distortion effects and transients, harmoncs, etc.... but you get the idea :> P.S. If you happen to know a free source for clean ir's like what I described so that I can do the mix and matching on my own.... I'd appreciate it!

[@midierror]

Get loads of tubes and make IRs from them...!!

[@alcoustic5297]

Neat !

[@corticallarvae]

How can I rapidly change irs as an instrument its self in an idm sense so I use short decay clicks as synthesized drums not regular instrumentation... or move them.. I found a way in max msp to map them but not move them seamlessly from one to the next in a sequence

[@Gearjunkie35]

So you can make an IR from ANY sound? Wow

[@mageprometheus]

I just do what I usually do. Weird.
