Sascha Franck Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi folks, I'm terribly sorry as this might be the wrong place to ask, but I couldn't find a better place up here. Since quite a while I'm using the Impulse Response Utility to capture certain parts of my guitar equipment (basically cabs/mics of course, but also some other stuff for experimentation). Works quite well. Anyhow, I do now need to load these IRs into a hardware box. Which, pretty much obviously, doesn't know SDIRs. But these seem to be the only way to get deconvolved files out of the IRU. I do however need .wav files. So, my question(s) would be: Is there any easy way to convert my existing SDIRs into wave files? Alternatively, is there any mystic place where the deconvolved wave files used inside the IRU are saved (probably just temporarily)? At first I was hoping I could open the SDIRs package content, but that's no option. So I'm a little lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Oh, fwiw, I'm using a vintage computer running OSX 10.6.8 and a roadworn Logic 9. But that shouldn't matter too much as, from what I know, the IRU hasn't seen any drastic changes since then.

Solution Sascha Franck Posted February 8, 2017 Author Solution Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ah well, found the solution myself. You can just rename SDIR to AIF. Guess the files are losing some header information in that case, which might be very important in case you're dealing with >2 channel SDIRs, but as the IRs I'm dealing with are strictly mono, I'd guess I'm sorted.

Eric Cardenas Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yes. They are AIF files with extra information about the speaker(source) and microphone configuration. Stereo files are fine too as long as you don't use True stereo or other multi channel configurations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
