Hi Casey,

A blindtest is a test that does not reveal the answer with a descriptive naming prior to the listening sensation

[Marogru]

I was mixing an album while these popped out and I tried it on like 6th song I was mixing....and I had to return back to other mixes to throw that in. Stunning for main and BVs

THX a lot!!!

Excellent point!

LOL.

We'll see, if users are claiming to be able to hear a clear and cut difference between the two and would want us to supply "true" versions of the IRs, then that would be hard to argue against.

Yes, I agree, I think that we need some free true stereo M7 IRs.

Acousticas seems willing if the blind tests are convincing. (Right Chris )

Deal, if the blind test favors the "true" stereo IR version, we'll make "true" versions of the M7 Factory Library. If not, then you will provide us with a case of those Tequila botellas of you always talk about

Well now, hold on! I said we should drink together in Germany this September. You were the one that said you know a good place for the Tequila.

If I'm going to buy a case of good tequila I'll probably have to smuggle it in. Every time I have looked for good tequila in Germany, I have come up empty! Is it possible?

Let's get back to FREE M7 true stereo IR's. I feel like I'm watching The Young and the Restless when I read this topic. While I enjoy Acousticas a great deal and the idea of them growing, this little undeniable bromance that is developing is annoying.

Hey I got an idea! Drop the price of the M7 to $1500.00 and sell 20 000 of them instead of 5000 and there will be no need for IR's and a lot of happy people.

[Tranny-Cap-Tube]

Just do the true stereo impulses of the room presets...that's where they are most usable. Please turn any modulation off also, so there are no phase issues.

For room verbs large to small that are trying to be accurate, True Stereo is a MUST!!! But for huge 10 second tails w/ modulation, I don't think it matters much.

Which TC6000 impulses are those ?

Ok.. so I got an answer from Waves:

You are correct, simply copy the impulses from your Mac folder to the corresponding folder on a PC system (EX: C:\Program Files\Waves\Plug-Ins\IR1Impulses V2).


So the IR-1 presets should work for PC.. I can only suggest checking the spelling in the folder names ?..


Hope this helps.

Just to be clear. Are you both talking about the Studiodevices TC6000 IRs?

[Home Studio 87]

Samplicity TC S6000 & Lexicon 960 are Stereo/True Stereo
see here : Samplicity - Reverb Impulse Response Libraries

I have all the Acousticas & the Samplicity & Very please with both

Just to be absolutely clear; I am not.

Much thanks for this IRs thumbsup

Casey + Acousticas....

Truely great IRs, thank you.

But..

(zips up flame suit)

Are you seriously considering doing "FREE" true stereo M7 IRs ?

With all due respect I think that would be
taking generosity to extremes.

Acousticas ...the care and attention you guys take when making your libraries should make you money...

Casey... if you lose just 1 sale from people using the IRs you should be compensated.

A major reason for me saying this is as follows. If you were to make true stereo IRs I'd hate it to not be a full library and for Acousticas to not go to town on the variations like they do with their other libraries.

So.... True Stereo IRs please... but for god sake charge for them !

[jamwerks]

Yeah, make some nice stereo IR's, charge a nominal fee (not too much in these times of poverty ) and Acousticas and Bricasti split the profits !!

[bass man]

Maybe a stupid question but can i use these impulses with SIR 1 or only with Altiverb ?

Thanks

After I heard the M7 impulses my first impulse was I want the real thing! As a lost leader I think Casey knows what he's doing!

EDIT: Semi redundant post True Stereo M7 IRs here: signaltonoize.com

Ok fair enough.. Casey wouldn't be doing it unless he'd thought it through.
I'm just selfishly interested in the IRs being as good as they can possibly be, and I've got my money on Acousticas in that regard (because they're so damn thorough).
I understand your comment about wanting a Bricasti, but wanting and buying are two completely different things. I saw a lovely white Lotus yesterday and as much as I want one, it hasnt materialized yet.
For 99% of people out there a Bricasti would never be on their shopping list simply because of the price, and with all due respect I doubt you'll be in the market for one any time soon.

All I'm saying is, if the unit's going to be sampled get it done by the best people around and charge a decent fee for something this good.

Casey, what do you reckon ?

Well as I have said many times, if the M7 is going to be sampled then I feel that it is my right to say they should be given out freely. And now they are being made freely available from two sources that clearly agree. So I think everyone is happy!

I completly agree with your other points, just not the bit about a fee.

Casey.. you're a good man.

Crazy.. but a good man.

May your decision repay you many times over in good karma.

I will now respectfully shut my trap.

There's nothing crazy about it. The only kind of person who would think "great, these replace the m7" is a clown. It's highly unlikely that this kind of person has any money, so it's not like it's a lost sale.

The market for the M7 is the working professional with good taste.

I totally understand, and won't go on considering Casey's reply.

Just to say the "crazy" thing was all in good humour.

Any modulation 'presets' of sorts would be fantastic.

@SEB: That's astounding to hear, though given the quality of Acousticas prior impulse libraries, it is not surprising!

Totally. I was a bit sceptical of how good these would sound at first. I loaded up the London Plate, and my jaw dropped so fast it wasnt even funny. Go to reverb impulses for almost anything I can think of. Amazing

[dandeurloo]

Do you have presets for these that work in TL Space for a PC? How do we install them?

thanks. I have heard the hardware unit and it made me sick to my stomach. It sounds amazing!!!!! If these are even half as good they will beat the pants off of all my other verbs.

Yes we do. Or make it cheap like 20 bucks so you guys can get some beer while you are doing all your hardwork.

1) When and if they arrive they will be free. We started with free and we are not going to end with not-free

2) If providing true stereo irs of the m7 or any other hardware device, would be as easy as just recording it twice, we would have provided true versions to begin with.
There are significant problems surrounding this matter. Problems which we could ignore and simply release what we consider to a flawed result, just to say that Acousticas has true stereo IRs. I would like to repeat that the process of recording the device twice is minimal compared to the amount of post and pre process which surrounds the capturing of a hardware. We have done numerous of tests and we always circle the same problem which all the other true stereo irs of hardware are circling*. The stereo image is "disconnected" or "out of sync" and the result sounds more like a special effect and not like the hardware. Some might like that effect which is really easy to recreate. Simple instantiate two convolution reverbs and in each load a similar but not identical impulse response. That will give you a disconnected stereo image which could also be translated into "making the reverb come alive".

* dependent on hardware, some may sound layered and cause claustrophobia and listening fatigue.

3) As with live-venues, true stereo can make the world of a difference and it is not that we are not looking into providing true stereo IRs of our libraries. As a matter of fact, as we released the first EMT library we started looking into providing surround IRs for it. We have been writing a neat little software tool which, when ready, is going to derive surround and/or true stereo IRs from any given stereo IR. Today, we release the first beta of the M7 Virtual True Stereo LIbrary to two selected M7 hardware owners who also use the normal IRs of the M7. If and when they pass those off as being up to snuff we are going to release them to all of you. For Free.

I think you missed this?

True M7 – Impulse Pack - signaltonoize.com

Unless you plan to record some yourselves?

Oh, this is my first post... I finally tried Convolution reverb for the first time yesterday, convinced me to buy Liquid Sonics Reverberate immediately. Put it this way: it also convinced me that if I'm ever lucky enough to have the money in my life, in future, I would very much like to own a Bricasti M7.

Cause, crikey, I thought the Eventide and Lexicon IRs that were out there were pretty good, but these are astonishing.
