Thank you!!! Honestly, I've used both and had good results. Cardioid allows for a bit more spatial isolation if you're shooting for a 5.1 reverb with a clear "forward" direction.
@@devinlsheets_alphasound I'm curious because I use impulses for placing dry sounds in the environment and improving dialog recorded in the studio (for games mostly). I'm torn between using omnis which should get more of the room response, and mics actually used for recording things like that - hyper and supercardioids. I know I should just do my own tests but I figured somebody must have did this already. Somehow, your video is one of the very few good resources on IR's I could find (outside of recording guitar cabs), so thanks for that. I didn't know the trick with trimming of the impulse.
Thank you... this is refreshing info about what I've been interested in & looking for... I'm sick of only being able to find guitar cabinet speaker & guitar amp IR videos when I use search terms like IR, impulse response, convolution reverb..., that stuff is still interesting, but its hard to find videos like yours where people are making/demonstrating real acoustic spaces, so thank you!! ...side note...like I said, the speaker impulse response stuff is equally cool & interesting in it's own right... I just wish more people showed or played with other types of speakers like bullhorns/megaphones/PA horns, the small speakers in old computers & old electronic toys & radios, etc. (like Plogue's chipcrusher)... loved your video & thanks again!!!
Oh, that's so cool, I never knew. Especially the idea at the end, could this be used to help with the classic mixing problem of thinking ah yes perfection during practice, followed by the frantic effort to get it back to where you like it during the first song?
How loud should the speaker outputting the sine wave sweep be when capturing an IR; as loud as possible without distorting the speaker, or just loud enough to excite the space?
...or you could take the impulse response of the sound system in the concert hall and do complex division to create an 'inverse' impulse response that cancels out the reverb of the room. I did this with a fax machine speaker, however you lose about 24 dB of amplifier power.
Nice video! Wow, what a detour to get a sound. It's probably great if your approach to music is sitting at home at night with Cubase and a joint, otherwise it's worthless.
That's the best video on IR's I've seen on YT, well done! Do you use omni mics for IR's?

The best video on this topic! Thanks for making this! Made my day.
The best IR explanation I’ve seen yet. Thanks.

Oooh thank you! I've been looking for a good explanation if IR and that is what I needed! Really nice explanation)
wow this is insanely detailed, UNDERRATED!
Awesome video thank you very much!
Fantastic video. Explanations and examples were extremely helpful.
Great video man - now that I understand IR and convolution reverb, I am hooked. Thank you 🙏🙏
Really cool video! Very clearly explained and demonstrated!
+1
The bat emitted a sound, now the room is in quarantine lol
Amazing video!
How does this only have 5k views? This video was super useful!
Love your house / style
Really great breakdown!
Man that sounds good!
I know how it works but I can't explain it.
but thanks to this video I can explain this clearly now.
Thanks for the tips! Looking to make my own Reverb IR pack
Absolutely amazing
Fantastic video. The same ideas can be definitely applied for post-production. Would be interesting to capture a space with an ambisonic mic.
There are many ambisonic IR room databases available on the web, mostly research repositories.

What would be the practical objetive of this? Deliver a musical piece without modifications of a room (like the one that you hear in your headphones)?
This video is perfect!❤
Great explanation, thanks :)
what's the length in ms of the sweep sinus you are using? I guess this could be important, isn't it? Thanks for the video. All the best. F.
Do you have any IR wav file samples for download ?
Awesome
This was great !
Saved. Very nice video

Well done!!!!
Good video. Still, I’m very interested in the actual math operations the convolution is doing. Where can I read about this?
great stuff
Willyou make your room IRs available to the public?
Thank you!
Holy flip! This is Free information?!
Yeah! Share it with someone
i use alot of Reverb for dubstep
So is this what the Capital Studios Reverb is like?
A+
