Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Sascha Franck]

Not THAT interested in having those sounds on my guitar.

So nobody else should be interested, either, I guess.

I once had a guy on either the Helix or Fractal Facebook groups, can't remember which, who insisted that nobody would be able to tell the difference between a 100% wet "supernatural-esque" reverb, and a spring reverb, and a typical hall reverb, in a live environment.

You can't fight these people. They've been bodysnatched!!!

 

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

But using an IR to replicate a Lexicon?? Nah... give me the algorithm and make it proper.

These days for sure. But in 2005 on a dual 450 Power Mac G4 using AltiVerb with some well made Lex 960 plates was a huge step up for what you could do "in the box. I don't miss freezing tracks to audio, and having to re-do them as the mix evolved. But it was a lot better than not being able to do shit in real time.

Yes. That is 100% what I've been saying. At no point have I ever said things that ever related solely to my opinion.

I only left school in the year 2000.

I'm talking about IRs suitable for reverbs. I don't think the Axe FX supports them (or rather: I know it doesn't).

People want (1) all effects from the other devices, (2) use them simultaneously, (3) pay the least amount of money, and (4) want features those other processors do not even support.
Sure.

If this is your first rodeo: be advised to just go ahead and skip ahead four pages to avoid this sidebar.

We haven't even got to the part where people start waving their resume in the air yet!!

 

[paisleywookiee]

You seem to have very little of an idea about what's possible with IRs.

Come on, man. Don’t go TGPing people.

Did I ever say any of that?

Summon Sascha, they said. It will be fun, they said.

I don't think anyone would know there's a difference because they're not presented with a comparison in a live environment.

They are if you use all three sounds in the entire set. That was the central point of the discussion; I wanted more scenes to represent all the different sounds I used on an album, and this guy was insisting I didn't need to recreate the album sounds coz no one would care.

Oh i see, well that makes sense. I meant a direct, back-to-back comparison in the moment.

 

[Ed DeGenaro]

Not THAT interested in having those sounds on my guitar. I've found my sound, basically. I sound the same through whatever I play, it turns out! Even if @Ed DeGenaro thinks I sound like arse biscuits!

Actually I said that tone was wet ass.
But you do behave like a butthurt 12 year old.

Put it on the CV, bruv!
