Impulse Response

Just an example of using convolutional reverberation with homemade impulses. The first part of the example shows the processing of a baby's voice at a distance of 10m, and the second part, at a distance of 40m. Here I took one of my field recordings, which I made at the edge of the forest, next to a large clearing. I used this record as a background. Then, I found a recording of the baby's voice https://freesound.org/people/k3pp/sounds/170749/ , and applied to it the responses that were recorded in the same place as the background recording. The recording of the baby's voice is not of perfect quality, and in the final result, the room reverberation from the recording location "shines through" in places, but it was quite enough for an example. IR 1 was recorded at a distance of 10m from the recorder (deep into the forest). IR 2 was recorded at a distance of 40 meters (deep into the forest). I will not talk here about the post-processing of impulses, as this is a separate big topic. I can share my experience if it's interesting. I will only note that with proper pre- and post-equalization (if, of course, the pulses themselves are of satisfactory quality), proper impulse selection and adjustment of the ratio of dry and wet signals, you can achieve a good realistic result. In this case, before the convolver, I also used an expander to simulate how the baby's voice sinks into the background as the distance increases. See also the folder https://freesound.org/people/newlocknew/packs/39289/ Upon request, I can send additional duplicates of any impulses from my collection.

When you think that you already know how..., it means that you don't know anything yet!
