View Full Version : Garritan Libraries Announces "REAL SPACES" Multi-Positional Sampled Reverb Library


Garritan
04-05-2005, 07:01 PM
MUSIKMESSE, Frankfurt, Germany, April 5, 2005 - Garritan Libraries announces the upcoming adjunct to its sample libraries - sampled "real spaces". Garritans' multi-positional impulse responses, also known as "sampling reverb", let's you put any audio signal inside an acoustic space of your choosing, such as different concert halls, a performance club, a soundstage, a church, an intimate room, and other spaces. It also allows precise control over an instrument's position on stage and the listener perspectives in the audience.

Garritan "Real Spaces" includes a myriad of multi-positional impulse responses which capture the true acoustics of a performance space. For each instrumentalist in an ensemble, you can use an appropriate impulse response for the location where you want that performer to play in the space. For example, if you want to capture the true acoustic signature of the first violinist seating position in a concert hall, you can simply choose this playing position. There are up to twelve microphone placements for different audience listening perspectives and up to ninety different player positions on stage.

Thousands of impulses were captured from premier performing arts venues. One of the concert halls in this collection is the critically-acclaimed 2,500 seat (125 million dollar) Benaroya Concert Hall in Seattle. Every instrument position on stage (90 positions) was recorded with 12 different mike placements in the audience. Another concert hall is the 1,400 seat, state-of-the-art Chan Centre Concert Hall in Vancouver, Canada. Another is the Bastyr Chapel, which has a reputation for its wonderful acoustics and has been used for many soundtracks for movies, television and interactive games. Recorded by Al Swanson, the resident engineer for Benaroya Hall and the discoverer of the acoustics of Bastyr chapel, utilizing some of the best equipment available, Al has over 35 years of engineering experience and more than 700 classical recordings to his credit. There are also other spaces that will be included in the library.

Garritan "Real Spaces" is a natural adjunct to the quality sounds of Garritan Personal Orchestra, Orchestral Strings, and upcoming libraries - allowing precise control and flexibility. With some libraries, the reverberance of a particular space may be recorded and saturated into the instrument samples whereby you are stuck with that space which is not readily removable. The players are also locked in their chairs and it can be difficult to fight the stereo field and position instruments. The Garritan Libraries were recorded so that they would work ideally with impulse responses. Applying the Garritan "Real Space" impulses will "imprint" the sampled reverb of a particular location and space onto the instrument's audio signal. The result is virtually identical to where an audio signal had actual been recorded in that location on stage and in that space. In addition to stereo, this impulse library will be 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound capable. Garritan "Real Spaces" allows precise control over every sound's spatial location, all with sampled reverbs of placements in real spaces.

Garritan "Real Spaces" is expected to be released in Summer of 2005. No pricing has yet been set. More details will be available soon.

04-06-2005, 03:27 PM
My reading of the announcement is that this is not yet another reverb processor, but instead is a set of impulse libraries to use *with* a reverb processor from another source, such as G3, Kontakt2, etc. So questions about VST compatibility are not really relevant - it depends which convolution reverbs the library will be compatible with.

Joseph Burrell
04-06-2005, 03:57 PM
It is my understanding that this is a complete solution. So these questions are valid. Of course, only Gary can answer this for sure, but I had the understanding that this is a complete IR solution not just impulses for another program.

I have a feeling you should consider the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall in Nashville when it is done. It is going to be state of the art while still having the classical style. Including seats behind the orchestra and a ventilation system that is completely noiseless. Us orchestra fans here in Nashville are really looking forward to its completion. :D

New Acoustic Spaces have been added to the "Real Spaces" collection.

Dvorak Hall in Prague, Janacek Hall, and 13th Century Gothic Cathedral have been added to the collection. In Dvorak Hall, 86 player positions were recorded on stage with 12 positions in the audience. The Gothic Cathedral has some of the longest tails I've ever heard.

This will be in addition to the multi-positional impulses recorded at Bastyr, Benaroya Hall and the Chan Center. Additional spaces are being added to this collection as well.

I would also like to know when it's coming out, now that the Strad and JABB are released, perhaps we can have an update?When we stop adding spaces. Now that JABB and Strad is out (and OEM versions of GPO) we can again focus on Real Spaces.

We've added some more spaces to the library. We plan to have it work with various convolvers. Acoustic venues include Benaroya Hall. Dvorak Hall (where Miroslav was recorded) and Sonic Temple (where Sonic Implants was recorded) plus a number of other fine venues (like the Village Vanguard, Harvard Chapel and others). One goal is to be able to get different libraries to mix and blend together.

As far as price, that has not been finalized. We are thinking of different sets - a basic edition and a pro edition. More later....

Hi,

silly question: Aren't concert halls built to sound best when filled with audience - probably giving a too "reverbed" sound if empty?

Hannes
that's a good question Hannes. I have set up and mixed sound at many different venues, from small to very very large, and my experience is that any auditorium that has nice padded seats and carpeted isles, is virtually the same "acoustically" with or without people.

I believe that myth has been used all too often by soundpeople who use it as an excuse for their unacceptable poor mixing, and/or poor sound system setup. Regardless, if a room is sampled for the purpose of reproducing the sound quality of that room, an empty room will suffice just fine in my humble opinion.

Just my experience, but I have had disagreements about this with other engineers, so it's no big deal, no lost sleep over it.

Good observation though :)

Hi,

HannesHannes,
Not a silly question at all. Some concert halls like the Chan Centre design the chairs so they are made with the same absorption coefficient as the human body. So it doesn't matter as much if it is empty or full. In some halls, we draped the seats with fabric so the hall would not sound empty.

I just read that Altiverb for Windows is released...
----
in order to keep patient, and to decide if I wait more for RS, or go right now for the already available and famous plugin, I indeed need some more information about Real Spaces :
-is there an approximate date of release, or is the sw too far away from completion to tell ?
-will the diversity and quality of real impulses equal (at least) what is offered with Altiverb ?
-will the tweaking features as exhaustive and as userfriendly (or so it seems) as in Altiverb ?
---
Sorry for asking all this,
but I'd definitely find good use of some hi quality acoustic spaces, and while I am okay to wait a little longer, I cannot do this for too long...
So if Realspaces is not to be out in the near future, I'd like to be given the opportunity of an educated decision, and decide on a few real facts which way I go !
Thanks in advance !

Lahma,
Well there are people out here. Real Spaces may be incorporated into Garritan software or may be one of those projects on the back burner. Gary strikes me as a person that wants to give the world an entire orchestra. The problem is that wanting to do it and finding the time to make it happen are different.
When I see what Gary is doing with Berkeley School of Music and all the other software packages, I am truly impressed and grateful. I struggled to make music with soundfonts for a couple years until I got GPO. Now I feel like I can jam with a whole orchestra or any part of it whenever I feel like it. Does it get better than this?
I hope so. I am still hoping for the Vocal sampler to be released.
Check out the other forum topics or the orchestration course. That is incredible.

Real Spaces is definitely alive and well. The convolution engine is done and there are a huge number of halls that we've sampled and created impulses from. The only real problem is finding the time to package it into a release product. The Steinway has been my focus the last months (I'm the tech lead on real spaces) so this hasn't gotten the attention it deserves lately. We'll keep you up to date as this comes back to the foreground of development.

Thank you, Jeff, for this clear, honest and important (to me, anyway) update. Knowing it will happen eventually, I'll wait.

I'm drooling. And hoping this new engine can take full advantage of the multiple 64-bit processor/core systems out there.

Garritan Real Spaces is as yet an unknown entity while Altiverb is a mature and universally praised programme, with superlative impulse responses.

It should also be mentioned that Altiverb IRs span a huge field, from world class concert venues to streets, closets and a brace of classic hardware reverb units.

Obvious conclusion: if you need highest quality convolution 'verb now, Altiverb is the way to go. If you don't need it immediately and loyalty to Garritan products is an important consideration for you, by all means wait...;)

Goodmorning,

struggling with "Reverbs" in general, I wonder if it is worth waiting for RealSpaces from the Garritan Organisation or to order Altiverb now (meaning before RealSpaces).

When I have Altiverb there is no need for RealSpaces and that is always a pity for the Garritan club....... economics, you know.

So.... what is wisdom?

So is this thread dead? I too have (only just recently) been struggling with reverb concepts and types - especially IRs. I am ready for this program now!
When O when will it arrive? I know I know - I just got CoMB so I should be happy for awhile (and I am ecstatic about CoMB! What an excellent tool for the arsenal!) but a stage placement reverb program that is drag and drop? I'm so ready.

I am anxious about this as well. If nothing else, I'd like to buy the IR for Bastyr, as I just played there and am curious about how well the sound could be recreated.
