Final Cut Pro X Logic Effects - Working with Space Designer’s Impulse Response Parameters

Working with Space Designer’s Impulse Response Parameters

Space Designer can use either recorded impulse response files or its own synthesized
impulse responses. The circular area to the left of the main display contains the impulse
response parameters. These are used to determine the Impulse Response mode (IR Sample
mode or Synthesized IR mode), load or create impulse responses, and set the sample rate
and length.

• IR Sample button and IR Sample menu: Click the IR Sample button to switch to IR Sample

mode. In IR Sample mode, an impulse response sample is used to generate reverberation.
Click the down arrow next to the IR Sample button to open the IR Sample pop-up
menu, in which you can load and manipulate impulse response samples. See

.

• “sample rate” slider and “preserve length” button: The “sample rate” slider determines

the sample rate of the loaded impulse response. Activate the “preserve length” button
to preserve the length of the impulse response when changing the sample rate. See

.

• Length field: Adjusts the length of the impulse response. See

.

• Synthesized IR button: Click to activate Synthesized IR mode. A new synthesized impulse

response is generated. This is derived from the values of the Length, envelope, Filter,
EQ, and Spread parameters. See

Note: You may freely switch between a loaded impulse response sample and a synthesized
impulse response without losing the settings of the other. For more information, see
