Create a project in Impulse Response Utility
When you open Impulse Response Utility, the first step is to create a new impulse response project.
Impulse Response Utility offers formats ranging from conventional stereo impulse responses, true stereo (where each channel is processed discretely), quadraphonic formats, or five-, six-, or seven-channel surround formats. These latter formats can be in either traditional multitrack or B-format encoding. See Overview of B-format surround encoding in Impulse Response Utility.
You can also create multichannel impulse responses in Impulse Response Utility by using a mono or omni discrete impulse response format. This requires recording only one speaker by as many “channel” microphones as needed (for the chosen format). The resulting impulse response places a lower strain on your CPU. See Record audio in Impulse Response Utility.
