Possible the best idea to post this here instead of the recording sub-forum:

IR Capture

IRCapture is an application used to measure impulse responses. You can use IRCapture to measure the room reverberation of acoustical spaces, or to measure…

Haven't tried it yet, but it seems very straightforward.

This is the old MLSTool app with a new name. I think they just wanted to give it a more descriptive name, so they renamed it recently. Yes, it is a very good capture utility.

I'll have to give it another try. I really wanted to use it a year or two back, but something didn't work for me and I gave up. I can't remember what now., and perhaps I didn't use it right and I am the problem.
These days, I tend to just use ReaVerb in Reaper, or the stock convolution tool in Studio 1, for sweeps.

There's also a really nice new option here by Ghost Note Audio, which is a bit of a different idea using white noise instead, but definitely really good for anything like tone matching, and making cab IRs:

Spectrum Thief

Spectrum Thief is an EQ-matching plugin that can export impulse responses. Great for capturing the frequency response of speaker cabinets, or creating adjustment filters to tone-match your guitar tone (or even a full mix), to a reference sound. The plugin is FREE and requires no authentication...

That's an excellent tool (opened a new thread in the recording section a while ago already), but it's not suitable for longer IR types (such as reverb IRs), and it's also not capturing any time-relevant aspects, from all I know (which might be relevant for some cab IRs as well).

Oh, didn't know that.

Not exactly. MLStool still exists separately. The IR Capture tool has a couple options different from the MLStool.

Corrected below.

It was renamed in December to "IR Capture" and there have been a couple of updates to add new features since then, but the last version (1.0.5) that had the name MLSTool is still available for download.

Anyway, it's a great utility for what it does.

Gotcha. I thought they “forked” it to add some niceties specifically for IR capture functionality.
