BONUS FOR TODAY: I made two reverb IRs at of the Ampitheater in the Park der Sinne. Here are some drums, two bars raw, two with the faux room using the IR at -10dB of the raw drums, repeat.
Notice how 1Mid mid-forwardness really emphasized the snare tail (the IR peaks at 800Hz and 1,700Hz)
While 2Smile is more natural and balanced-sounding
