In most cases the honest answer is that there is little point, unless you come across a space with a very special character. Why Bother?īearing in mind the fact that Space Designer has an expansive library of impulse responses (IRs) from great-sounding churches, concert halls, studios and clubs around the world, you might reasonably ask why you should bother recording your own reverb IRs.

Since Apple bought Logic originators Emagic, the once-optional Space Designer convolution reverb plug-in has been bundled with Logic Pro as standard - and with the Logic Studio bundle comes a utility program that makes the process of creating your own Space Designer patches a whole lot easier.
The process itself is actually fairly simple, but the reason why it has only recently become commonplace in Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) is that it takes a lot of computational power to achieve. Previously, digital reverb was created using delays and recirculating filters to approximate what happens to sound in real spaces, but with convolution, you 'record' the characteristics of a real space and then apply them to your own music. Space Designer running a setting created from a custom impulse response of a Vox guitar cab.Anyone who's been involved in music recording over the past few years must have noticed the increasing number of reverb units and plug-ins that work using a process known as convolution. Convolution is the technology du jour for creating convincing reverbs, and if you're a Logic Studio bundle owner, you already have a utility that will let you get into it yourself, by creating custom impulse responses for the Space Designer plug-in.
