After you deconvolve your IR, you will end up with with space at the beginning and end of the file that is nearly silent. The space at the beginning will delay the reverb. So need need to trim the file, and add short fades to the ends. >And of course a 13 seconds length IR is a juice eater in the CPU. Right. On my system (1GHz 1G RAM G4) there are IR's I've recorded using SD that won't load into SD. >I know I can shorten the IR in the Space Designer parameter, but this >is only readable by SD as a saved preset.

Obviously, it helps to sample a short reverb in the first place. >It would be nice if you could save the presets of SD IR as an >IR-audio file on your hard drive Can you record an IR of SD?? I never tried. >By the way, I'm sampling my unit, the KSP8, not an acoustic place (yet) >So, how do I create a short length IR (audio file) using a Sine-Sweep? You could also try using a noise burst instead of a sine sweep. Keep in mind that sampling modulated reverbs won't "work" -- especially using a sine sweep.
