Bake & Export
Bake means:
Keep this IR.
Whatever prepared response you are hearing can be turned into a reusable WAV.
Want to return to the complete tweaking setup later? Save a preset in OPTIONS. Preset = Anvil setup. Bake = response WAV.
What Bake keeps
Bake can include:
- A or B preparation
- Time
- Color and Texture
- per-slot Normalize and Gain
- Morph
- A→B Lerp
- authored routes: Draw, Path, Glue or Omni
- Start/End slicing or reverse slicing
- fades and Pre
- IR In
- EQ
- Width
- final IR Normalize
- IR-side Limiter
What Bake does not keep
These controls only affect how the plugin plays on your track:
- Input
- Wet Level
- Dry / Wet
- Out
Export format
Impulse Anvil writes the result as a 32-bit floating-point WAV.
After export
The completion window shows where the file was saved.
Press Show File to reveal it directly in Explorer.
Use the result anywhere
A baked IR can be:
- loaded back into A or B
- combined with another Anvil Bake
- used in another compatible convolution plugin
- used in an IR loader that accepts standard WAV impulse responses
This is where recursive design starts:
A + B → Bake C
C + D → Bake E
E + recording → Bake F
Baking Lerp and authored routes
There is one visible Bake button. If A→B Lerp or an authored route is part of the prepared result, Bake includes it.
- Draw writes relationship movement into the ordinary output timeline.
- Path renders forward/backward source-time travel using its horizontal-distance clock.
- Glue Path appends separate painted pieces and owns its duration independently of Lerp Start/Time.
- Omni Path uses the selected Lerp source window while horizontal and vertical 2-D route travel both create output time.
Bake commits the resulting prepared construction exactly as used by Anvil's playback/convolution path.
Technical background
Bake writes the current prepared IR as 32-bit float WAV. The prepared-IR chain is bounded by a 30-second safety budget at ordinary sample rates. Final track playback mixing happens afterwards and is not embedded in the WAV.
