To start a convolver with a specific set of IRs and you don't need the ability to start/stop individual IRs then you can create a single configuration file for a convolver with multiple channels and use a different IR for each channel. E.g. using two stereo IRs to create a convolver with two stereo channels, basically two reverbs in one:
Yes, you need one buss per reverb. In the above example I would create two stereo busses to pre-fader insert each reverb into. The buss fader will control how much of the return from the reverb contribute to the final mix.
Say ir1.wav is used for the first and second section of the orchestra and ir2.wav for the third and fourth, I then create a post-fader send from each sections fader to the respective reverb. The send fader (in Ardour it's located in each sends pop-up window) control how much of the sections dry signal should be sent to the rebverb and let you balance the amount reverb between the sections sharing the same reverb.
This is just like how you would do it in a hardware studio with the exception that there's no limit on the number sends and returns in Ardour that would otherwise be hardwired (and are in other DAWs!).
If you start JConv and LS before opening the project in Ardour, it will then automatically hook itself up to all the audio sources.
Code: Select all
/cd /my/irs
/convolver/new 4 4 256 204800
/impulse/read 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 ir1.wav
/impulse/read 2 2 1 0 0 0 2 ir1.wav
/impulse/read 3 3 1 0 0 0 1 ir2.wav
/impulse/read 4 4 1 0 0 0 2 ir2.wav
