MainStage SpaceDesigner interface
The SpaceDesigner interface consists of the following main sections:
• Impulse response parameters: Use to load, save, or manipulate recorded or
synthesized impulse response files. The chosen impulse responsefile determines
what SpaceDesigner uses to convolve with your audio signal. See Use impulse
responses in MainStage.
• Envelope, filter, and EQparameters: Use the buttons in the display mode bar to
switch the main display and parameter bar between envelope, filter, and EQviews.
Use the main display to edit parameters graphically, or use the parameter bar to edit
them numerically. See MainStage SpaceDesigner envelopes and EQ and MainStage
SpaceDesigner filter and filter envelope.
• Global parameters: After your impulse response is loaded or generated, use these
parameters to determine how SpaceDesigner operates on the overall signal and
impulse response. Included are input and output parameters, predelay, and more.
See MainStage SpaceDesigner global parameters.
Use impulse responses in MainStage
SpaceDesigner can use either recorded impulse response files or synthesized impulse
responses. The Sampled IR and Synthesized IR buttons above the main display switch the
impulse response mode.
