TL Space Multichannel IR FormatsTL Space supports IRs in multichannel or multiple mono audio files. IRs with a single input are used for mono or summed stereo processing and can be stored as a single interleaved multichannel file, or as multi-mono files. IRs with stereo inputs used for true stereo processing must be stored as multi-mono files.
Channel Order 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 indicate input and output channels as follows:
![]()
Impulsename is the name of the impulse. Mixing multiple IR files with the same Impulsename in the same folder is not supported.
![]()
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 numbered 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 corresponds to your studio monitors. outputchannel 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.
