Yet another Tone Match trick- Dual-Mono IR Rendering

Here's something else that might be useful somehow.

Got a Stereo Cabinet IR setup, panned center (ala Mr. Peterson) that you like? Want or need to melt it down into a single IR?

Use the Synth set to no tracking, pink noise feeding into your cabinet block, with no other active blocks. Tonematch source set to "block input". Grab the source. Disable the cabinet, now grab the local. tone match. wa-la/violet/voila!

You might want to do it with Motor Drive set to Zero.

If you have PEQ or filter blocks after the cab, you can flatten all of that this way.

I thought about making an audio clip, but that would probably be rather boring.

Haven't dealt with Tonematching yet, but are the data acquired in the TM block and exported into an IR as detailed as the original (1024 or 2048) IR?

IOW, do you lose some information/resolution by capturing an IR with the TM block?
 
Someone else will have to address the question of resolution. I would assume that repeatedly tone-matching the same information may change it over time, but I don't know the degree of the impact.
 
It was more of a theoretical question, I admit. I doubt anyone will create a "TM loop" leading to a decreasing quality.
If it sounds good, it most probably is good.
