I have used Sonar since version one and have recorded and mix hundreds of projects on Sonar. I have never had any presets for the Prefect Space reverb. Every time I would try to use it the were no profiles installed. Always in a hurry I would use another reverb. I currently have Sonar x1 and still no Pertect space profiles. How do I get them?

PS doesnt come w/ presets - only impulses.  you load in an impulse.  then you make adjustments - eq, etc.  save it as a preset.  voila

Perfect Space is a little funky like that. The impulses are there but they open up differently than most 'presets' or 'samples'.

Here's a screenshot ... if you right click it doesn't do anything. You have to left click.



If nothing shows up then something didn't install properly.

Hope this helps.

Update: AT is right, there are no presets. You have to create your own. It only comes with a handful of impulses, but there are tons of free ones on the net.

I have used PS for a while. Have even gotten some really great IR from studiocat.com. Also some free on the web.

Load an IR. Tweak. Save if you want. I just have some fav IR I use.

I find that I use it more than IK Classic Reverbs. It really has a lot of depth.

But no "Presets". Even if I had presets, the way it's setup, I would change it anyway. That's the nature of the plug.

Maybe I am misunderstanding here. Do you get any reverb sound from PS?

Yeah, PerfectSpace has a slightly misleading layout. You'd expect to start out by pressng the "Preset" button and loading something from there. When in fact, what you want to be doing is clicking the little file icon just underneath that. If everything was installed to default locations, that will take you to a folder with lots of impulse responses.

There are some good free ones available on Sony's website. called Acoustic Mirror Impuses

One of our forumites made a whole range of impulse files based on some really classic hardware that he had access to they are awesome. I don't have a record of the members name (it was quite a few years) but this post might trigger someone's memory.

I use those fairly often.

try www.acousticas.net they have some nice Bricasti M7 impulses free

the Voxengo website also has quite a few free IR's

 I suspect the best reason that Perfect Space doesn't come with presets is that one could easily create a preset that would crash any CPU on instantiation.

 A convolution preset that works ok on one system might just yank another system to the ground.

 If I was distributing presets for Perfect Space... I'd probably stick with some real lame ones with very short IR tails just so that the first impression wasn't a Blue Screen.

 The best thing for a user to do is to dig into Perfect Space and make their own presets... presets that work on their system.

 The next best thing to do is grow out of Perfect Space and buy it's big brother Pristine Space for $99.00 from Voxengo. I'd say it is the best value in the entire reverb business.

 Once you get used to Pristine Space you'll realize Perfect Space is actually a cripple ware version of Pristine Space.

 Perfect Space is an incredible opportunity to become familiar with convolution technology... you can use it for many things in addition to reverb effects.


 Have Fun!!!
