Part of me is thinking of selling my Axe FX III and getting two KHE Switchers and another loadbox, so I could run two switchers, each with 4 amps to choose from, with the amp being loaded down by an epic loadbox, straight into the DAW with Cab-Lab on the end of it.
Fixed
Good gear sounds like shit anytime people use it incorrectly to achieve their desired results.
If I’m trying to play through a cab and an IR I’d prefer to mic the cab as well, that’s why I just went to "FRFR". Something about having a different room sound than what I’m monitoring disconnects a little bit.I'm an outlier, I've experimented with numerous IRs in our practice space feeding our IEMs (with my actual amps and a loadbox) and I vastly prefer the sound of just tossing a Sennheiser on the cab
I do appreciate IRs for quickly tracking ideas and scratch tracks in my apartment
As far as recording for "official" business I think I've been happiest so far with the last approach we did with a sennheiser 906 and a small condenser on the cab, and a large condenser for "the room" and blending those three together
Probably hate the tones, but I was just watching a Nail the Mix clip and the arguably the biggest rock band on the planet (Nickelback) was all amp sims and IRs on a recent album. Not my cup of tea musically, but if it’s good enough for multi platinum recording artists surely it’s fine for us mere mortals.
I don’t care . There are lots of utter shit tones on multi million selling records. I want to be inspired, not just use the same homogenised plugin because it’s easy.
Must have some very unique speakers and amps at home.
They are but we’ll never hear them because mic’s wouldn’t do them justice. Just have to take his word for how good they are.
True inspirado cannot be recorded.
Can we hear some more hackeneyed blues licks through frog spunk IR's please????
I’ll take honestly posted garbage over heavy opinions with no sauce.
Coming right up!!
