Trouble loading IR's in Space Designer

Ever since i upgraded to Logic 8 there have been many Space Designer IR's that won't load. I finally took the time to figure out where they were and why they wouldn't load and now i'm even more confused. For example when i choose "Small Combo Spring" (small spaces> Spring Reverbs> Small Combo Spring) I'm prompted to manually locate the IR but when i do find the pst file it's not highlighted (I'm not able to select it). If i choose to load setting manually i can choose Small Combo Spring.pst but then i'm asked to locate Small Combo Spring .SDIR which can't find. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Two things - a Space Designer plugin settings file (*.pst) is not the same thing as an impulse file.
The pst file simply contains the settings of Space Designer's GUI, and the path/name of the loaded IR file.
Now, the Space Designer presets were altered, renamed and reprogrammed for LP8, and the impulse files are different. It may be that you have left the LP7 SD pst files on your system, but had the impulse responses replaced with the LP8 ones - hence, the LP7 ones won't load.
If this is the case, you can reinstall the LP7 impulses from your LP7 disks. I'm not sure offhand whether these impulses are also in LP8's legacy content (I can have a look) but I'd recommend using Pacifist to extract the impulse files and place them where they need to be to have everything load correctly.

Slow loading of IR's in Space Designer

When i load an Impulse response in space designer, it takes at least 20-30 seconds with a frozen Logic, before it loads.
I suppose Space Designer is looking for IR's but i don't know why.
Anybody experienced the same?

Slow is not so easy to calculate...
Slow as Seconds?
Minutes?
They are original Apple IRs or from 3rd Party ones?
there is some warning message during loading?
How much free space size is in your System Hard Drive?
I hope more than 25 or better 30% free space of the total disk size!

Impulses loaded into Space Designer?

Hey does anybody know how to load impulse responses into Space Designer? Just downloaded some third party stuff and wanted to try them out. They are called "Beamsonic Impulses". Thanks

Yeah, using gates would be clumsy and buggy. What the Sonic Birth API does is is allow you to construct your own AU by instatiating actual code. But you don't have to really write the code. You drag visual modules around and link them with virtual cables. Each module is ultimately a C++ class function and you're really just building object oriented code with a GUI. There really is very little you can't do. For example, you can even attentuate output amplitudes with whatever function or equation you wish to write. Recently I wrote a fade in/fade out plug that follows exponential curves when a timing loop is started by a boolean variable switching from 0 to 1. Designing a virtual logic circuit to test the input for its amplitude is very easy and that could be used as a trigger to switch between the output of several convolutions. To the end user it would look like any other AU if you packaged the IR wave files with the plug you create and set them up as presets. The catch is that the user has to actually have the Sonic Birth framework on their machine to use it. It doesn't make a generic AU that everyone can use.
If I get this baby working I'm gonna get real excited.

Impulses with space designer

I have been talking with a friend.He was telling me that i can download impulses to load into space designer.That model like neve pre amps and stuff alike.Where can i get these impulses? I actually think i found them, i downloaded them and it looks like a bunch of munbers and symbols.Is this right? If so what do i do with them once i get them.How do i load them into the space designer?Any advice would be greatly apprecieated.

Have to load presets in Space Designer manually?

I have to load Space Designer presets in Logic 8 manually (prompt the path) after installing Logic 9 upgrade. Anybody else with the same problem?

Thanks for your answer:
Here is what happens in my case, even with Logic 9.1 being installed.
When I open a new project in Logic 8 I can switch through the presets. However, when I save the project and reopen it again, then I need to prompt the path if I want to change a preset.

Logic crash when loading 3rd party space designer preset

Hi,
I am having problems loading 3rd party space designer presets in a specific project. When I load the presets in a new song there is no problem. I would like to use the presets in this specific project, so maybe somebody knows a solution.
I already tried system maintenance like
- running the regular cron scripts
- repairing permissions
- removing the logic preferences file
My setup:
- dual 2Ghz PPC G5
- 4 GB DDR SDRAM
- OSX 10.4.11
- Logic Pro 8.0.2 (1502.22)
And the crash report until the crash:

A quick update: logic crashes in more cases now. Last time I was working on volume automation in the arrange window.

Space Designer LP7 songs don't load in Space Designer LP8?

Hi there, I recently replaced my entire system drive with a new one and installed Logic studio 8. I still have my old system drive but it's not connected to my Mac.
I have been loading songs produced on LP7, when loading the songs ask me for the old Space Designer Impulse response FX presets. Now I assume since installing Logic 8, that the older Space designer stuff has been changed but surely they wouldn't have completely done away with it would they? How can I get a LP7 produced song's Space designer setup load in LP8?
Thanks.

Hi - I just wish to bring this one back to life:
I was not aware that the Space Designer had maintained the L7 Legacy IR's and I'm keen to get them back too. I have the folder so I can see them all now but...
I'm not sure how to get them to show up in the Space Designer preset menu. I know I can load them from the 'Load IR & Init' menu but this is slow as you have to locate the folder every time.
How should I structure the user library in order to get the Legacy folder to show in the preset menu? I've tried a couple of options but it's not working.
They are currently showing in:
MacintoshHD/Library/Audio/ImpulseResponses/Apple/05LegacySpaces
but do not show in the preset menu.
On a related note I have the Spirit Canyon Audio IR's in:
User/Library/Audio/ImpulseResponses/SpectralRelativity
and would like these to show in the preset menu also. But currently I have to 'Load IR & Init' every time. Same problem maybe?
Do you need some sort of 'preset/plugin' file in the menu that references the IR?
Hope that all makes sense - help appreciated! Thanks

Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets

Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets when I am working on my template and songs. If I create 1 track in a new empty project there is no problem with Space designer.

And with Logic 8, I am stumped as to how to find all of my samples and virtual instruments that I used in Logic 7...Where is the "folder" that I drag my Sampler Folder alias into? Any clues?

I am having trouble using reverb of any kind; it does not sound natural, but rather "pixilated." Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? I have used Silververb and Space Designer and am having the same problem...

I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!

This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way.

Space Designer Plug-ins Not Loading

Hi, whenever I try to select a Space Designer plug-in with Logic Pro 8, I get a pop up which says 'no audio file selected' and asks me to 'please locate the file'. I've checked the Logic folder within the Application Support folder of the Library, and all the .pst files are there in the Plug-In Settings folder, but when I navigate to them from the pop up they are greyed out, making it impossible to select them manually anyway. All the other Plug-Ins (Compressor, Reverb, etc) seem to work fine. The problem only appears to exist with Space Designer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Phil

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I couldn't find the Impulse Response folder you mentioned, but just for information, the pop up prompts me to locate the file (for example) '01.4s Jazz Vocal Room.SDIR', and in the bottom pane of the pop up it says 'No Audio FIle Selected', probably because I haven't located and selected the file it's looking for.
Thanks again
Phil

Space Designer True Stereo Impulse Responses

I recently purchased some impulse responses. I am trying to load these into Space Designer on Logic 9.1. They have been supplied as L, R and C wav files. It says that Space Designer supports 'true stereo' impulse responses, where there is a seperate wav file for L and R. But I can't work out how to load both files? Has anyone on here successfully loaded True Stereo responses in Space Designer? The set of responses also includes 'quad' files consisting of just one stereo file - should I be using these instead?
If anyone could help/offer any advice I would be very grateful
Many thanks

If the impulse responses are Stereo Interleaved audio files, then they load into Space Designer as true stereo impulses.
Note : make SURE you create the space Designer on a STEREO AUX or channel, otherwise its mono--->Stereo, and will load mono impulses. At least that what it does on my system. They same impulse sounds very different when fed a mono source VS a stereo source...
As for "QUAD" sources, it does not support them, at least I do not think it does.
Try loading a Space Designer on a 4-channel audio track (a QUAD) track, and see what happens.
Also, those QUAD files are probably 4 mono audio files contained in the one file. I've seen these before...

Space Designer Presets and Impulses... Gone?!

I'm stymied...
Been wanting to audition some Space Designer reverbs, but for some reason all of the presets were gone from the settings menu. I don't remember what I did exactly, but I found them and moved them into the SD settings folder somewhere on my system. And now I have all of my presets back. But...
Every time I load one of the presets, Logic asks me where the .sdir file is for it.
This never used to be a problem. Why it's different today is beyond me. But anyway...
Can someone please tell me where .sdir files are supposed to be located? And also, just so I'm sure everything is where it should be, where should the SD preset settings live?
-=iS=-

Works perfectly.
For some reason my impulse responses and settings were in two places:
iSchwartz HD/Library/Logic/Impulse Responses
...and...
~/Library/Applications Support/Logic/Impulse Responses
Weird...
Anyway, thanks again.

How to Use Altiverb IR in Space Designer?

Hello, how can I use Altiverb Impulse Responses in Space Designer? Do I need to convert them? How? SD doesn't load the .C files, does it

It's my understanding that the Impulse Responses in Altverb are coded in a way that they can only be used within Altverb.
Which makes perfect sense. They certainly don't want people copying Altverb's IR responses from their friends hard drive, to use within Logic (or any other DAW) for free, right?

Space Designer Save Setting Problems

Space Designer Save Setting Problems
On the right side of the space designer you have "dry" and "rev" settings.
On reopening the plug-in the dry setting switches back to zero, although I saved it at a different setting...
Everytime, every project...

Does it do this on audio/software instrument channels and aux channels?
In general, when you load SD on an aux channel, Logic assumes it's going to be an FX return and so "helps you out" by setting the dry level to zero for you...
On other channel types it should work as expected...
