I've got a problem here (or so it seems). Tried downloading the impulse
responses for Acoustic Mirror from Sony's site (I have a legal,
registered Sound Forge 7.0a program that has Acoustic Mirror).
Unfortunately, there are no IR's that load with the program (at least I
don't have any that show in the drop down list in AC). Hoping to rectify
this state of affairs, I tried to download the HUGE file of IR's
available from Sony's site. It's something like almost 60 meg. Being on
a 56k dialup, I figured that I'd d'l them this weekend. Problem is that
I keep getting a page that comes up with an http 500/100 error and also
says something about there being a possibility of an incomplete URL.
Nowheres in this process do I get anything that says I have to login,
provide a password or serial number. Most programs ask for something
along those lines when downloading updates or add-ons to a program. Has
anybody tried downloading the IR's from Sony's site this weekend (I'm
talking Saturday Aug. 14, 2004 on the US East Coast)?
Barring being able to get these IR's, are there any recommendations from
the cognescenti here on good sites to get IR's from for Acoustic Mirror
(free, pay, or otherwise)?
Thanks much.

I believe every thing that's on their site is on the installation CD. I
haven't seen any new IR's from Sonic Foundry for at least three years. Did
you use the Browse button? Search your computer for files with an *.sfi
extension.

Sure. Here's some good WAV impulses:

Where is that site? I purchased Acoustic Modeler when it
was still stand alone DX product and would love to know if I
can use them.

Can't suggest anything for your problem but some IR sources a

http://www.voxengo.com/impulses/

FWIW, Voxengo's Pristine Space, totally rocks. Especially
if you are into surround decoding.

Thanks for the url's. Noise Vault has a ton of good stuff. I wish my
German was up to snuff to translate the echo chamber pages.

Acoustic Modeler works fine with .wav files containing IR's.

Does the latest version that comes with Sound Forge support
the extraction of 32 bit IEEE IR's from 32 bit IEEE sweep
response data? Or 24 bit integer?

My original store bought A.M. doesn't go above 16 bits and
with the incorporation of it into Sound Forge, any upgrade
path was choked off. That ****es me off almost enough to
think about stealing a newer version if I could find one.

There's really nothing in the text that would be of any help (just stuff
like "delightful reverb from TC - good for vocals", etc.. Just download the
impulses and use them. If you do want to translate the page just plug the
URL into Babelfish and let it translate it for you:

Thanks for the link to Babelfish. I knew there was a site that did
translations, but couldn't remember the name (and me a HUGE fan of
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Don't Panic!).
