Q: 3rd party Mac deconvolving app?
Hi
I'm currently an LE8 user and Axe-FX owner.
Some time in the not-too-distant-future I'll probably be upgrading to a more powerful Mac that will allow me to upgrade to Logic Studio, in which case I'll then have access to the Impulse Response Utility.
But in the meantime I'd like to start getting familiar with the process of recording guitar cabinet IRs.
I've read a bit here and there and think I've got the gist of it.
LE8 has a Software Instrument that can generate a 10sec full range sine wave sweep. I've already made my recording of the sweep and saved it as a 48k .wav file. (The Axe-FX is 48k only.).
So all I need now is some sort of software that will deconvolve the .wav file, right? (There's a utility around that can convert the deconvolved .wav to a .syx file that can be uploaded to the Axe-FX. The convolving is done inside the Axe's Cab Block, I believe.)
But for the life of me I can't find any software out there that can deconvolve this .wav file for me on a Mac, and I've Googled the **** of it.
All there is is the Voxengo Deconvolver program for Windows.
So, have I missed something? Is there an app out there for me somewhere?
I also noticed, in another thread in this forum, someone saying that the Impulse Response Utility can not be used to deconvolve sine sweeps that have not been recorded by the Impulse Utility itself. Is this true?
