Space Designer in Logic Pro for iPad
Space Designer is a convolution reverb effect that you can use to place your audio signals in exceptionally realistic recreations of real-world acoustic environments. Space Designer generates reverb by convolving, or combining, an audio signal with an impulse response reverb sample. An impulse response is a recording of reverb characteristics, or more precisely, a recording of all reflections in a given room following an initial signal spike. The actual impulse response file is a standard audio file.
To understand how this works, imagine a situation where Space Designer is used on a vocal track. An impulse response file recorded in an actual opera house is loaded into Space Designer. This impulse response file is convolved with your vocal track, placing the singer inside the opera house.
Convolution can be used to place your audio signal inside any space, including a speaker cabinet, a plastic toy, a cardboard box, and so on. All you need is an impulse response recording of the space.
In addition to loading impulse responses, Space Designer includes an on-board impulse response synthesis facility. This lets you create completely unique effects, particularly when the synthesized impulse response doesn’t represent a real space.
Space Designer also offers features such as volume and density envelopes, filters, an Output EQ, and stereo balance controls, which provide precise control over the dynamics, timbre, and length of the reverberation.
Space Designer can operate as a mono, stereo, or true stereo (meaning each channel is processed discretely) effect.
To add Space Designer to your project, choose Reverb > Space Designer in a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu or the Plug-ins area. See Intro to plug-ins. Also see Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins in the Plug-ins area and Work with plug-ins in the Mixer.
Automation and Space Designer
Space Designer cannot be fully automated—unlike most other included plug-ins. This is because Space Designer needs to reload the impulse response and recalculate the convolution before audio can be routed through it.
You can, however, record, edit, and play back any movement of the following Space Designer parameters:
X-Over, See Space Designer main parameters.
Direct and Reverb Output level. See Space Designer global parameters.
Output EQ. See Space Designer Output EQ.
User Guide conventions
Logic Pro for iPad plug-ins have two primary views:
Tile view, which shows a few key parameters in the Plug-ins area
Details view, where you can access all plug-in parameters
Throughout the guide, parameters available in Tile view are indicated by .
