    I have noticed that the new Convolution Reverb will load .wav files but not .aif files.

    [:@]

    This is blatant discrimination against Mac users with our many aif files.

    (Okay....I'm only half-joking)

    Please fix this in an update.

     file - save as - .wav (note: 4 channels, canonical format)

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean...

    - "save as"... in what app?

    (Sure, one can convert files somehow, but it would be nice if VS accepted more than just .wav's)

    - Canonical format - where can I find info on this format?

    Normal stereo .wav IR files also seem to load. Are these not "as good" as 4 channel files? There is not really enough info in the Vienna Suite manual about file types etc. All the functions are mentioned but more detail would definitely be welcome.

    configure the file in your preferred audio editor - then save the file as 4 channel wave (no nifty extended format)

    more details here http://community.vsl.co.at/forums/p/21522/147166.aspx#147166

    a convolution engine cannot *understand* any audio format you could *throw on it* - some rules apply ;-)

    Thanks Christian. I obviously need to learn some more about convolution reverb and IR's......

    I appreciate your replies.

     Well, i must agree... its kinda clumsy and awkward having to do it "manually" it would be a very needed addition to just load up 2 stereofiles and have the plugin "do it " for you.

    Personally, i only have Cubase4 and Adobe Audition, and neither has a easy way of making a 4 channel wav.

    I dont even think Audition can do it, and in cubase you have to export the audio out as a 4 channel wav, only after configuring the outputbusses to allow for a multichannel file first.

    So ...i guess its not as easy as "Save as..."....? At least, i didnt figure it out in an obvious way, but then again...im a complete moron when it comes to anything else than stereo....:P
