M-Audio WizooVerb W2 [45/132] Render er

Early Reﬂections

English

Previously values remain unaltered when changing models. A model can

also be loaded with its own default settings. If and how you want to deter-

mine an ER/Tail Crossing point depends on whether you are using a HDIR

model or an impulse response:

❖ HDIR: HDIR models already contain the correct ER/Tail Crossing value.

Holding the ç key (PC) or the C key (Mac) when loading a model re-

calls the point’s analyzed location.

❖ Impulse response: Since User impulse responses do not contain an ER/

Tail Crossing value, holding the ç key (PC) or the C key (Mac) (Mac)

when loading a model sets a default value of 50 ms. For very small

rooms, you should lower the value a little, and raise it somewhat for

very big rooms.

Render ER

Render ER lets you replace the HDIR model’s early reﬂections with a reﬂec-

tion model generated by AIR. This conserves computing power and af-

fords you unprecedented creative possibilities.

When you click Render ER, a selection list comprising 15 AIR ER model

opens. A mouse click onto the desired pattern sufﬁces to load it. Bear in

mind that every AIR ER model is patterned for a speciﬁc type of room:

❖ If you want to retain the natural characteristics of the HDIR model, se-

lect a matching ER model, for example, combining the HDIR model

“Church” with the ER model “Church”. Though this doesn’t alter the re-

verb effect much, it certainly saves computing power.

❖ Feel free to select an utterly “inappropriate” model, for instance, com-

bining the HDIR model “Church” with the ER model “Club,” and hear

what happens.

Should you discover that you prefer the HDIR model’s original early reﬂec-

tions to an AIR reﬂection model, simply click Render ER again to deacti-

vate it.
