Installing :
1) Unzip everything to one dir and run "samp-am.exe"
2) The *.sfi files are now ready to be used in Acoustic Modeler

Usage tips:
* You NEED to tweak the wet/dry settings, otherwise the reverb will be too 
  mushy. CDR400 suggests trying setting of <DRY -4.5dB> and <WET -26 dB>.
  I found <DRY -2.5 dB> and <WET -12 dB> to suit my tastes and also kept a
  consistant level without clipping. Each impulse will be a little different.

* Make sure the file you are applying the reverb to is STEREO! (Even if the
  wave wasn't recorded in stereo, convert it first) Applying effects to mono
  waves will work, but you loose much of what makes it sound realistic.

* It takes a very fast cpu to preview these in realtime. While you are
  tweaking levels, you can set the quality to '2' and listen in realtime,
  but make sure you set it back to '5' before applying.

* You can alter the perception of a sound a lot by changing the response
  width and delay. You'll also find that most of the reverb tails are very
  long. You can shorten these through the envelope function.

Thank-yous : Special Thanks to TonyAMP, CDR400, Eetfuk, Trillion and Finsitez!

<Trillion> Holy SHIT thats nice ...wish i had better hardware to preview with.
I think they rock! I like them alot better than waves trueverb..  Just tried 
it on one my songs that i mixed down dry... medium + stage is nice. Oh my GOD
what a beautiful reverb!

<Eetfuk>  The Lexicon M480L - the best reverb of all times - in my studio! 
This fx processor is found in only the biggest studios of the world... it's
that little white box found on all the SSL and Neve's that you've seen in
your favorite proaudio magazine.  About the M2000/5000 : I haven't played
alot with those impulses. In fact, 2 minutes with only one (I was too excited
about the Lexicon 480). :))  They seem to sound very good too. I have noticed
that some reverbs will sound better with a bit of tweaking (ie: eq'ing). 
Depending on what you're doing... naturally!  So, experiment a bit.
