After looking around the forum for a bit longer I found this:

> Don’t know if you solved this but I call Convolution’s prepare() method before its loadImpulseResponse() method. You can also load your .wav in as a binary and use that as the sourceData parameter for the implementation of the loadImpulseResponse() method that requires sourceData and sourceDataSize like so: juceConvolution.prepare(spec); juceConvolution.loadImpulseResponse(BinaryData::OutbackClimbingCenter\_wav, BinaryData::OutbackClimbingCenter\_wavSize, true, true, 0, true);

Import the file with the Projucer and convert it to Binary Data, then you can just access it with BinaryData:: 🙂 This also includes it in the release built as far as I know. Perfect! 👍
