Impulse Response Files

Double Basses

We offer impulse response files of acoustic double basses captured on different doubles basses made by European luthiers. These Impulse response files can be applied to audio signals produced by electric or acoustic double basses equipped with a pickup.

What is a double bass impulse response? What is the purpose of a double bass IR file?

Impulse responses are now the best opportunity to reproduce the acoustic characteristics of an acoustic instrument on an electric instrument or on an acoustic instrument equipped with a pickup. They involve recording the impulse response of the hollow body of the double bass to then apply it to an audio signal. Applying a double bass IR file transforms the audio signal by giving it the acoustic characteristics of a double bass.

Yes! Double bass IR files can be applied to all recordings made with a double bass. However, it is necessary to do tests to find the IR that best suits your needs and then adjust the final signal so that its rendering is optimized.

Yes, you can! The frequency ranges are identical between the two musical instruments. However, you will need to work on the final signal using effects to embellish it.

You have to apply the Impulse Response to the source audio signal of your double bass. You need a device to realize this process. You can use your computer with a DAW and plugins, a multi-effects processor, an IR loader or a preamp. Check that the device can use 3rd party IR files to be able to upload our files.
