Look at it like sampling with multiple velocities, it’s not enough to just record a hard hit of the snare and lowering the level. If you really want realism you will have to use at least two. Setting up IR verbs to create a realistic reverberation isn’t as easy as just loading a setting and go. With a sweep you can also record at lower spls to get more of a low level response of a room, like you have when two people talk. Then there’s the issue with IRs just recording high level responses if you use a starter pistol. If the environment changes over time then a long sweep will be affected differently over the frequency spectrum as it changes. The longer the higher the “fidelity” but it takes more time to do the recordings and if anything goes wrong it takes a lot longer to do it again. They can be set at different lengths and there are pros and cons to that as well. And a high SPL from the “igniter” and in populated areas, in these days, this is quite likely to be a problem.Ī sweep is a specific sweep that is created by the deconvolver tool. The recording can simply be trimmed and imported into the reverb as is.īut it is dependent on a really good recording situation, any noise will be reproduced through the IR all the time, so it puts high demands on a quiet recording area. With a transient/starter pistol you get the result at once.

At least that’s my take on the difference, but I’m no full on expert. The sweep beeing the more analytical and precise version, but it will also be a little bit time smeared because of the process itself. And they do SOUND different, not immensely so, but the result will be different. maybe steinberg has their own version in house, or maybe they use deconvolver? You can use a transient/starter pistol or a sweep.
