Impulse Response tool
Batch deconvolve and process (trim / fade end, gain compensate / normalize) impulse responses
Generate test tone (sweep and impulse click) to use for deconvolution and recording
Supports wav, flac and aif formats for input and output
For Windows users, an executable is available on this page, you don't need to install Python to use it
This project was developed and tested with Python 3.12.8
Additional required packages :
- PyQt5
- numpy
- PyQt5_sip
- soundfile
- sounddevice
- platformdirs
Clone repository, create venv and install the required packages
Open a terminal from a directory of your choice
git clone https://github.com/robotmitchum/ir_tool.git
cd ir_tool
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
git clone https://github.com/robotmitchum/ir_tool.git
cd ir_tool
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Open a terminal from the cloned project directory
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m ir_tool_UI
.venv\Scripts\activate
python -m ir_tool_UI
A build procedure is provided with this package
The build_exe script runs a Python helper that reads a .json config describing the PyInstaller options
This allows keeping build settings editable and cross-platform
Open a terminal from the cloned project directory
Install pyinstaller package
(if you installed the project using requirements.txt you can skip this step, pyinstaller is already there)
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install pyinstaller
Build the executable with pyinstaller
chmod +x build_exe.sh
./build_exe.sh
Install pyinstaller package
(if you installed the project using requirements.txt you can skip this step, pyinstaller is already there)
.venv\scripts\activate
pip install pyinstaller
Build the executable with pyinstaller
Simply double-click on build_exe.cmd or type
build_exe.cmd
Let the process cook...
When completed, the executable will be found in the dist subdirectory
Copy the built executable to a directory called ir_tool in a location of your choice
- Linux : I recommend ~/user_name/opt
- macOS : In your Applications folder
- Windows : typically in C:/Program Files or in your user directory
Copy the following files and directories to the executable location :
- sweep_tone.wav (default 4 seconds sweep tone at 48 Khz and in floating point format you can use for recording)
- deconvolution_examples (optional but neat to test if everything is working)
This assumes the executable is located in ~/user_name/opt/sample_tools or the bash script won't work
From the cloned project directory
chmod +x install_desktop.sh
./install_desktop.sh
File and directory fields support drag and drop
Hold mouse cursor over widgets to display tool tips
Most widgets feature context actions with the right mouse button
