I Gotta Wonder About Fractal's, er, "Perception"

[FractalAudio]

I agree but there are those who vehemently disagree and would probably have a conniption if we were to remove the legacy IRs.

Honestly, I could do without all the factory IRs. Give me the option to offload them and use that space for something like the a block library. It's either user IRs or Dynacabs for me.

Exactly. I only need three IR slots: Mix 01 for York Audio’s Creamback, Recto, and Blackback

I need mix 1 from the Marshall V30 pack too and the Deluxe reverb pack. Apart from that I'm absolutely with you.

After DynaCabs came out I stopped using everything else.

But… for the past 3-4 months I haven’t used anything but the g12-65 2x12 from the legacy IRs (factory 2 #175/#178 together). I’ve been enjoying just always sticking with a single cab I don’t have to mess with, or think about, or tweak and choosing amps to go with it.

 

[OrganicZed]

I use the legacy cabs way more than dynacabs, but that's mostly because I'm a creature of habit.

The thing that’s great about Fractal footswitches is the whole “you can make each individual footswitch do anything you want”

The thing that’s stupid about Fractal footswitches is the “each switch can only do ONE single thing. If you want to do multiple things you have to make the footswitch do one thing and then make that thing do multiple things”

I just can’t wrap my head around doing it that way, so I set up nearly everything as per preset switches with just a few exceptions.

I pretty much only use per preset switches for everything.

But say I want to have one switch toggle both a reverb and a chorus. You can’t just set up the switch to do both. Instead you have to set the switch to control a control switch and then set each block to use that control switch for its bypass state.

Control switches are my jam.

Yeah I did some programming work for a guy with a Helix Floor, for live gigs. I tried to explain to him that sticking to one or two cabs is best, because making each song (or even song section) sound completely different is jarring and weird, and also can be tough for the sound guy.

Yeah, I’d have no problem dumping all my IR’s for more DynaCabs or a Blocks library. At this point I’m only using a couple bass cab IR’s and whatever WEM/Fane IR’s for Gilmour presets, everything else has been replaced with DynaCabs.

The amount of factory DynaCabs suffices, but there aren’t enough corresponding “packs” yet. Meaning that you can’t use Cab-Lab to mix DynaCabs in many cases, yet. Mixing cabs is a way to keep CPU usage (in the Cab block) low.

 

[Rock Chalk]

It would be the "cat's meow" to be able to use your Dyna-Cab packs on the hardware with no Cab Lab.

I agree but there are those who vehemently disagree and would probably have a conniption if we were to remove the legacy IRs.

Would the idea of swapping/uploading more onboard Dynacabs via FractalBot be a possibility? Or would that create a logistical/support nightmare? Would Mark II/Turbo units have extra memory available for this kind of thing, or was that reserved for FullRes storage?

Also, wasn't there an alternate DynaCab Pack with a 421 instead of the 7B at one point? Like during an open beta?

Is it not feasible to simply make them a batch download that one has to qualify their ownership of a Fractal Audio product to get the link to? (And since they're .SYX files, it wouldn't do non-Fractal owners any good anyway to pirate them).

I know you had licensing agreements with Redwirez, OH, etc., but perhaps they'd be open to amending it?

In any case, we are screaming in hope of you making the blocks library available on the current gen of devices somehow, some way.

I would literally poop myself. It would be worth it for that alone

Would be the ultimate, dare I say it......gamechanger.

Kill them

Kill them

That’s it, you’re cut off. No more vinegar for you.

Yep, for live work I might use a few different amps, but it’s always one single cab for the whole show. Unless there is some special effect I’m going for
