Perfect Space is a convolution reverb. Convolution reverbs work like this:
1 - You take a recorded sound source and some recording gear into an
acoustic space that you want to model;
2 - You position the gear at the point in the space that you want to model,
play your signal into the space then record the result;
3 - You then subtract the original sound from the recorded result to create
a new impulse file. This file effectively contains the "sound" of the space
you were in;
4 - You load your impulse file into something like Perfect Space and use it
as a reverb, as your tracks play through the modelled space captured in the
impulse file.
This is a very simplified version of what it takes to create a really good
impulse, but you get the idea. Another trick that you can pull is to hire a
very expensive FX processor and play signals into it and capture the results
and create an impulse - this won't be the same as owning the unit once
you've handed it back to the hire company, but you can definitely grab some
presets.
When things really get to be fun is when you use any old sound as an impulse
file - this won't give you realistic reverb, but will create a lot of
interesting sound processing effects if you're prepared to mess around.
Best wishes.
