M-Audio WizooVerb W5 [68/158] Trimming silence from the start

8 Impulse Responses

The comments accompanying impulse responses normally indicate whether or not they

contain direct sound. If this info is provided and you set Dir correctly before loading an

impulse response, you will achieve the same effect as processing it after loading.

Trimming Silence from the Start

Impulse responses are frequently preceded by superﬂuous silence before

the ﬁrst impulse kicks in. Use Trim to cut these blank bits automatically.

You can undo this at any time by deactivating Trim again.

Adjusting Levels

The big pot at the center serves as a Gain knob. If necessary, use it to ad-

just the impulse response’s level manually.

Saving Impulse Responses

If you have optimized an impulse response and are satisﬁed with the re-

sult, it’s a good idea to save it for later use:

All three F, R and C boxes must be ﬁlled in with ﬁles before you can save the pulse re-

sponse. If necessary, load the same ﬁle three times if you do not have a suitable pulse

response on hand.

1 Click the Save button below the waveform.

2 The standard dialog for saving ﬁles opens, whereby the appropriate

folder for archiving User impulse responses is selected automatically.

Feel free to create further subdirectories to sort your User impulse responses.

3 Type a name into the storage dialog. By naming the ﬁle, you are also

naming the User impulse response.

4 Conﬁrm the dialog to complete the storage process.

Now you’ll ﬁnd the stored impulse response in the Edit Page’s User selec-

tion list and can load at any time directly from there.
