In addition to presets, TL Space lets you manage a group of settings, called snapshots, that can be switched quickly using a single, automatable control. Each snapshot contains a separate IR and settings for all TL Space controls.
IRs in a snapshot have been pre-processed by the impulse computer and can be loaded instantly into the convolution processor. With RTAS, switching between snapshots does not cause audio to drop out. Snapshots are useful, for example, in post production mixes when the reverb is changed for different scenes via automation as the picture moves from one scene to another.
Embedding IRs in Sessions, Presets, and Snapshots
By default, all IR and snapshot info used by TL Space (including up to ten IRs) is saved in the Pro Tools session file. Likewise, plug-in presets contain a saved copy of the IR and settings in the currently selected snapshot. Session and preset file sizes will increase as TL Space stores each IR waveform inside the file. This provides maximum compatibility between different Pro Tools systems without the need for them to have identical IR libraries.
IR embedding can be disabled in TL Space’s Preferences. If IR embedding is disabled, TL Space stores only a reference to the name of the IR file. When the session is transferred to a different system, TL Space attempts to load the matching IR file from the TL Space IR library. For maximum compatibility, ensure that all of the appropriate IR files are available on the new system.
When working with an IR that only exists in a session file, ensure it is saved to a separate snapshot or preset. If the IR is overwritten by loading a new IR and the session is saved, the original IR cannot be recovered without access to the original IR file.
