In this video I’m turning my kid’s room into a reverb I can use in any convolution reverb. This is a quick DIY method that can produce surprisingly good results. I’ve done this with just an iphone to record with a handclap as the impulse and used it in music projects.

I’m using a Zoom H5 with standard XY condenser mics.
I’m testing different impulse sources and positions, and different mic positions/distances.

    You also can do this with transfer function technique (proposed by ISO 3382 -2 ) easily with REW. Just set your audio interface on preference, conect the mic and One of your loudspeakers and boom, extract the impulse response of that setting (loudspeaker – room – microphone) in wav format.
