  • Fantastic, Beat. Drop us a line here or on a new thread when you do. Also, when your tutorials come out in English, that would be good to know. 

    If time and interest allow, I'd value your musical description of "Decorr." I think it stands for "de-correlation." Err... good to know, but it doesn't help me much. I didn't know it could bring the instrument closer. A musical explanation would be helpful as to how you use it when your designing your virtual space.

    Hi plowman

    Yes you are correct. DECORR stands for...

    My explanation is between a musical and a technical one. OK?

    The more you increase the Decorrelation the more you get an extensive reverb - specially with its fade out.

    That's what I recognize when I'm listening to several "decorr-results".

    Perhaps the VSL Suite Convolution Reverb does this with a sort of a built in stereo chorus effect  which is influencing the IR??

    Don't know really.

    Further, on the one hand it seems not to be a linear effect but on the other hand the parameter shifter is linear.

    So the most difference you get between 0% and around 10%

    Decorr = 0% (normal Reverb without any special richness)

    Decorr = 1% (suddenly much more richness with the reverb)

    Decorr = 2% (even more ...)

    Now, a main parameter for adjusting the virtual distance:

    The more wet a  signal the farther away it seems to be.

    So: More DECORR enhance the feeling of more distance... which explains my upper proposal:

    For even closer distances with my "3depth-presets" : Reduce the value of DECORR to 0%...2%

  • Decorrelation: -> [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorrelation[/URL]

    It introduces a certain amout of randomness into the signal. Due to this processing, the signal components that "correlate" with each other are reduced (... this is what one could call the "mono-component"). The effect is that the preceived stereo width is enhanced, although while sacrificing natural positioning cues. Therefore, making clever use of the decorrellation envelope is crucial.

  • Beat, I did a fresh install to Windows 7 (I was using Vista previously) and realized that I didn't copy over the presets before I formatted the drive. After clicking on the link to get the presets again, it appears to be invalid. Do you still have these available for download? I found them quite useful and already had used them in some work.


  • Hi Austin

    You got a mail from me. See you there...

    Kind Regards

  • sorry to also bother.... but same with me: also lost the presets and now i desperately tried to download them... have you moved them or are they no longer available in general?

    thanks a lot for you effort...


  • Sorry, but I had to make a change within the starting thread. It explains the circumstances,

    Please have a look there...

    Thanks

    All the best
