Don’t need a speaker / swept tone to record a room response. Just a mic, recorder and a hand clap, balloon pop, starting pistol, or two boards clapped together. Crop the file then load in to Impulse Response Utility. Use the “deconvolve” function, and then create IR. The swept sine wave is for capturing speaker cabs and things of that nature.
Great video, Chris! I love Space Designer in Dual Mono for electric guitar ambience. I dig that feel of having the dry signal on one side and the spring on the other.
Thanks for all your videos! I used to record songs a decade ago out of high school in Acid Pro. I had no idea what I was doing then. Decided to get back into it with logic. One thing I struggle with is understanding when and why to manipulate certain frequencies with the EQ, so for vocals, or a Uke. I usually just mess with the high mid and low till it sounds okay. Then I come back to it and am like that sounds like crap and tweak it some more, not really knowing what I’m doing. I see others talk in there videos about exact frequencies they need to pull out, bring up and whatnot. I’m going to be digging through a lot of your videos because I bet there are some you already have done that could help me. Sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to say thanks and talk a bunch I guess.
eq is medicine. (if you're not sick, don't take it) if you like the sound of your mic and you're not recording in a room with problematic resonant frequencies, don't use eq.or maybe just roll off below 100hz.
By my knowledge the impulse in 'impulse response' is never a static sine wave. It would require obtaining a full response from all possible frequencies, after all. This can be done by using a sine sweep over the entire frequency range, or with recording the room's response to a literal 'impulse'; an almost infinitesimally short pulse of white noise. A dry clap of the hands is a surprisingly close approximation.
I think he confused sine wave and sine sweep. He talked about the impluse response utility, which I'm pretty sure is used to convert sine sweep room recordings into impulses.
One of my favorite uses for Space Designer is to load IRs of guitar cabs. You won't believe what this can do for your emulated guitar amps!
I have tried alot of reverbs. Space designer is definitely one of my all time favorites.

I suggest doing a search here in RUclips for, “using eq properly” and you will find a flood of videos on the topic.
That ir utility function is so damn cool
Thanks Chris, catching up with your videos, been away, but didn't know about space designer, brilliant
Space designer is great! Thanks Chris.
Thank you Brother
Another fab video! Thanks Chris! :)
Ur doin an oZzzam job Sir..God bleZzz u..!!!
Hi people I just wanted to ask that I have a Marshall amp (class 5) it’s a basic amp can I record its IR with this procedure
Awesome!

true
i dont have warped effects in my space designer
