Convolution reverb briefly explained with FREE Convology XT by Impulse Record

What is convolution reverb?

Like any digital #reverb, #convolution is based on mathematical processes but instead of modeling the virtual spaces it is based on the analysis of audio samples created in situ. This samples can also be created using hardware allowing to digitally store classic equipment and much more.

For example, the first three categories store impulses created with digital hardware reverbs, technology from more than 20 years ago. The granularity and lo-fi that you hear is not characteristic of the convolution but of this tech.

It is common for convolution to be applied as it is, but modern convolution devices can modify the physical characteristics of the impulses allowing to modify the space, such as changing the size, etc... Adding modulation and completely inverting the sample are interesting, popular and very useful additions to convolution reverb devices.

The names of the impulses included with this incredibly good #plugin give an idea of the devices used to create them. Let's take a quick walk through on all the categories. We believe that Pro, Classic and Basic refer to different types of processors created for different types of consumers between the 80s and 2000s. ECHO is dedicated to different classic delay machines as the names of the presets suggest. Plate and Spring are among the first technologies created to simulate reverberation and despite not being so realistic they have earned a place among all the technologies for their distinctive sound and participation in iconic records.

An interesting experiment with short reverbs is to use them in complete isolation, for example if we move MIX to the end with pre-delay to the minimum we can give this drum machine a very mix friendly vibe.
