Chapter 10: TL Space TDM and TL Space Native
87
For multi-mono files, TL Space understands the
following filename conventions, based on those
used by Pro Tools. The filename format is based
on the impulse name plus two suffixes which in-
dicate input and output channels as follows:
Impulsename.inputchannel.outputchannel.type
• Impulsename is the name of the impulse.
Mixing multiple IR files with the same Im-
pulsename in the same folder is not sup-
ported.
• Inputchannel refers to the number of
sources used for the impulse, starting at the
number 1. An IR captured in true stereo
will usually have two input channels num-
bered 1 and 2. If there is only one input
channel, then inputchannel is optional
and can be omitted. Also, instead of using
numbers 1 and 2, the inputchannel can be
designated as L and R.
• Outputchannel refers to the microphones
used to capture the impulse, and corre-
sponds to your studio monitors. outputch-
annel is designated using the standard L, C,
R, Ls and Rs extensions.
• Type is optionally .WAV, .AIFF or .SD2. For
best performance, filenames should always
be suffixed with type to avoid TL Space
having to open the file to determine audio
format.
The following examples show how various
multi-mono IR files could be named.
