Acoustic Mirror...where do I start?

I want to try Acoustic Mirror, but I'm not sure where to start. I downloaded all the updated impuses, and I can pull them up in A.M. However, other than a copyright date and author, there is no description of what the Impulses are supposed to do. What am I missing? is there some sort of tutorial of manual that I can follow?

Thanks!

Load Acoustic Mirror as a track effect, pop open the track fx dialog, select Acoustic Mirror, then click the "?" in the upper right to bring up online help. That'll give you plenty of info to get started.

OK, I can see that. However, when I look through the folder full of Impulses, all I see is non-descript file names. Is there somewhere I can get a description of what the individual Impulses do?

You'll have to listen to the impulses to get a feel for what they do. When you find some setting you like (stock or modified by you) save it off as a template with a friendly name so you can find it easily.

I must be missing something here. Are you saying I need to browse through almost 900 impulses to figure out what they do? Isn't there some sort of catalog, description...or any documentation that you can point me to give me an idea where to start looking for certain types of impulses.

The SoFo guy is missing your question. You defintely are not seeing what you are supposed to. When I open Acous M all the impulses are categorized into folders with names such as Large Rooms, Medium Rooms, Theaters, Churches, Shure Microphones, etc. In each folder are the impulses and each is uniquely named. In the case of the mics, most are named after its model (57, 58, etc) and distance from the mic that it was sampled. The rooms, buildings, theaters are given named after themselves( ex. St. Lukes Church from Balcony, Sonic Foundry Hallway, etc.,). Some descriptions may be pretty vague, but you should at least have an idea of what to expect based on the categorized folders. Perhaps try re-installing the impulses?

Wow Pipeline, while you're in such a generous mood, I'd love to check out your presets!! I'm also just starting to work some with AM and certainly could benefit by someone's prior tweaks. Are yours available for download? Otherwise, my email is drbam@cableone.net

Thanks in advance!

I still got tons more for you guys, but rather than send the same file over and over, maybe SF has a place to stash em ?

Pipeline, if you send me everything you have, I would be happy to host them if SF can't/won't.

I have the mirrors that SF provides with its software. What directory should I put them in so that I can access them as a Track Effect?
