PastToFutureReverbs LA-2A Tube Compressor IR's! Impulse Responses (IRs) WAV screenshot
Impulse Responses (IRs) WAV | AudioZ Exclusive | 754.76 KB
Maybe the best compressor for Vocals and Bass.

With these IR’s we came so close to the real deal that

we got scared :)

This is our masterpiece so far

We also included a comparison between the vintage hardware and our IR’s in Demo 2! (First Hardware, Second our IR)

In the Demo 3, we used a stock Ableton compressor plug-in with our LA2A IR's and the result was amazing. You gotta hear it yourself!

In Demo 4, we made a Blind Test for you. Let us know if you can guess which one is which :)

And please use at least headphones when you check out the demos. You will not regret it!

You will get 12 different IR’s in 12 different peak reduction levels

Although I'm relatively positive about PastToFutureReverbs' IR series, the sound quality of this IR file is the worst I have ever heard.
As is obvious from the waveform of the downloaded audio file, it is not usable as an IR.

They say it's their magnum opus though. I am wondering though whether IRs are good compared to NAM or Proteus files though

NAM & Proteus are profilers, a profile is quite big different than an iR, are just different stuff. A deeply well done NAM profile could reach awesome quality levels, but (for now) the load of several instances of NAM (more than 2) are just possible for top machines (...and with precautions). Irs are much more *CPU friendly* & there are many really good too, usefull, of course. Obviously I would like to load NAM instances without my current hw limitations, but simply I can't.

How would you use this practically? how does this IR technique work
Thanks

Loading the iRs in programs wich are capable to manage them, as Altiverb 7, East West Spaces II, Wave Arts Impulse Record Convology XT & several iR's convolution loaders more. U'll find all of that over here.

So they can process hardware stuff like compressors, mics ? Other things than reverbs? This would mean that youre technically using the hardware through sampling?

Reverb iRs were the first kind of captures massively spreaded/used, the experimentation about the rest of hardware captures came behind. Impulse responses are not specifically *samples*, eg.; u can't make samples of a compressor, reverb, eQ or tape, among many more devices, you *capture* the way in which those devices modify an original sound. I do ignore completely how is it done, but I had the chance to compare real hardware vs. their captured iRs & in several cases I've heard an astounding simmilarity. There are many not sooo good..., but some of those are definitely useful anyway. Obviously; nothing like this deeply reaches the real thing ...for what you need many thousands of dollars, but for a poor guy like me helps a lot. Whatever, words are just noise if there's not experimentation & study.

A Static IR can't reproduce some aspects (for example: non-linearities, distortion, compression) but can reproduce others that normal algo plugins generally don't do, like bandwith, frequency bumps and frequency response. Most of HW are not flat as digital plugins, and that's the part IRs cover the most, besides reverbs which is widely known. Sometimes you don't want extra harmonics or compression, and that's where IR's shine.
