Using TL Space
This section addresses some common scenarios in which TL Space can be used during a Pro Tools ses-
sion.
TL Space Plug-In Formats
TL Space is available in TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite plug-in formats. The following table provides
some general recommendations for use of TL Space based on the advantages and disadvantages of
each plug-in format. The following table shows the pros and cons for different plug-in formats:
Using TL Space Presets
TL Space ships with a selection of factory presets
for different reverb sounds. The presets are de-
signed to give a sample of the various IRs avail-
able from the Plug-In Presets selector in con-
junction with various reverb settings. However,
the presets do not cover the entire IR library.
Using TL Space on an Effect
Send
When TL Space is used on an Aux Input track as
an effects send, the Dry control should be set to
–inf dB.
Automating TL Space Snapshots
Snapshot automation is a powerful method of
changing the reverb parameters without having
to individually automate each parameter.
To automate TL Space Snapshots:
1 Insert TL Space on a track.
2 Select Snapshot mode.
3 Load an IR into each Snapshot and make any
desired changes to specific TL Space controls.
4 Name each Snapshot as desired.
5 Click Auto.
6 Add Snapshot to the list of automated controls.
7 Select TL Space > Snapshot from the automa-
tion menu for the track.
8 Select the Pencil tool.
9 Draw the desired automation. The names dis-
played in the automation track will match the
names entered for each Snapshot.
