How to convert sdir to wav file

  • Audio

Your options are certainly limited, but converting Apple Logic Space Designer Impulse Response files directly to WAVE Audio Files (.sdir to .wav conversion) is a doable task.

Use the original software, Apple Logic Pro or Apple Logic Studio, as it seems these are the only utilities capable of exporting SDIR files in WAV audio format.

We are not aware of any third-party solution capable of such conversion.

Understanding the SDIR file format

The SDIR file format is primarily associated with Apple’s Space Designer, a convolution reverb plugin used in audio production. These files contain impulse response data, which is used to simulate the acoustics of real spaces in digital audio workstations.

Understanding the WAV file format

The WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard audio file format used for storing waveform data. It is widely used for its high quality and lossless audio capabilities, making it a popular choice for professional audio recording and editing.

Converting SDIR to WAV

Converting an SDIR file to a WAV file involves extracting the audio data from the impulse response and saving it in the WAV format. This process is useful for using the audio data in applications that do not support SDIR files.

Best software for SDIR to WAV conversion

One of the best tools for converting SDIR to WAV is Logic Pro, Apple's professional audio production software. Here’s how you can perform the conversion:

  • Open Logic Pro and load the SDIR file into the Space Designer plugin.
  • Set up a new audio track and route the output of the Space Designer to this track.
  • Record the output of the Space Designer onto the new track.
  • Once recorded, select the audio region and go to File → Export → Region as Audio File.
  • Choose WAV as the format and save the file.

For users who do not have access to Logic Pro, another option is to use a dedicated audio conversion tool like Audacity, which can import and export various audio formats, although it may require additional steps to handle SDIR files.
