Several programs can convert these files but a good shareware program on the Mac is Amadeus II. The Sound Designer (SD) format is a remnant from Digidesign's original Sound Designer program and is probably only used on the Mac platform. I’m sure there are plenty of other plug-in’s on other platforms but I only use Mac’s so that’s all I can tell you about i’m afraid. Yes, this can be done by converting the WAV files to two separate Sound Designer files with. Either Altiverb, as mentioned above or Logic’s Space Designer. There are full install instructions inside the zip file but you WILL need an impulse response player plug-in. Over the years I have given these out to quite a few fellow producers and they have somehow found their way onto file sharing sites, as everything seems to do these days, but I can assure you that I recorded these, processed the IR’s and created the presets you will find inside the download, even though other people may have tried to lay claim to them :/ Anyway, I’ve used these IR’s on virtually every recording I’ve made over the past 10 or so years, they are my go to reverbs for vocals without question. They sounded amazing too, I A/B’d them next to the actual unit and for the most part you really couldn’t tell the difference. The reason for doing this was so that I could have a “virtual” 480L inside the box in my Pro Tools rig via Audio Ease‘s excellent Altiverb plug-in. In fact it’s the very same one that you can see the remote control unit for in this picture below…. Following on from the samples I dished out the other week I’m gonna share these with you too.Ībout 12 years ago I sat down and recorded a complete set of impulse responses from the legendary & industry standard Lexicon 480L digital reverb unit.
