Isn’t the attempt to capture the ‘not this shit again’ being done all wrong?

[Enchilada Jones]

When we enjoy a real amp in a real room we are hearing the sound of the speaker. A single point of origin driver ‘filtered’ by the room we are in. The effect of off axis orientation to our ears, distance, reflections early and subsequent etc etc

Then someone makes a preset or capture that is supposed to recreate all that including the room.

But then we play through the ‘recreation’ …in a room…listening closely to through high frequency driver and low frequency driver/s instead of a coaxial delivery system attempting to recreate the
original source that was off axis and far away,

.
So that’s never going to work..

I have no dog in this fight. Commenting just so that I can follow the discussion.

Should be “Cab in the room”. (The source, amp/modeler etc is largely irrelevant to the experience commonly being referred to) Youre either standing in front of a cab or you’re not. You aren’t miking/room-verbing your way to that experience. (Should you even care about it)

Although I have no strong opinion on this subject I think A-I-T-R refers to the entire experience and feeling of standing in front of an amp and playing it which some say is the best!

IRs are exactly the same as cabs and Amp where I'm at sucks compared to headphones.

LOL is it just me or is this forum automatically correcting A-I-T-R to “not this shit again”?

Test: Amp where I'm at

Edit: hahahaha it is autocorrecting the acronym
