200ms → Most devices don't need more than 200ms, so this is fine to start with. 500ms → Longer recording with more natural reverb. Good for BOSS, Iridium, and software apps.
Most devices only use about 21-46ms. If you choose longer IR data (like 500ms), your device will automatically cut it to the right length.
• Sample Rate
Use 96kHz, 48kHz, or 44.1kHz folder to match your device.

The numbers in the filename (e.g. 7-3, 6-4, 5-5, 4-6, 3-7) indicate the blend ratio between the two microphones. For example, 7-3 means the first microphone is mixed at 70% and the second microphone at 30%.
