Low/High Time

These knobs let you dial in different reverb times for the low, middle and

high frequencies that you have deﬁned using Low/High Freq:

❖ Low: Use Low Time to adjust low frequencies’ reverb time relative to

Main Time.

❖ Mid: Midrange frequencies’ reverb time is determined directly by the

Main Time setting.

❖ High: Use High Time to adjust high frequencies’ reverb time relative to

Main Time.

HDIR tails’ reverb times may only be adjusted in accordance with the orig-

inal room’s spectrum. If the HDIR model contains few low or high fre-

quencies, these frequency ranges’ reverb times can only be varied to a very

limited extent.

On the other hand, you are free to tweak an AIR tail’s frequency-dependent

decay times at will. For example, you can have the top end decay faster

than the low end, and vice versa.

Though HDIR models allow slight corrections of the tail, if you want edit

extensively or get really creative, change over to an AIR tail. And this is

how that’s done:

Render Tail

When you click Render Tail, the HDIR model’s tail is replaced with a tail

generated via AIR. The combination of an HDIR model’s early reﬂections

and an AIR tail may well be the most interesting application WizooVerb

W2 has to offer.

A tail usually lasts a lot longer than early reﬂections, so Render Tail is also a great tool

for lightening the heavy load that an HDIR room places on the CPU.

The aforementioned basic parameters control the AIR tail as soon as you

activate Render Tail.

In addition, the display shows ﬁve additional parameters that you can ad-

just using faders or by typing in target values. These parameters inﬂuence

the room model that our AIR technology is based on.
