Controversy sells.

Knowing how sensitive mic placement is, unless these IR's were actually captured while recording said albums, the "album accurate" thing is kinda iffy to me. But sounds killer indeed.

You know big bands should do that every time they record an album. Seems like it would be really cool to have an “album” IR for everything you did.

Waaay too saturated. There is such as thing as too much gain.

Agreed. But this is Tone Wars. You ain’t gonna win a tone war without excessive gain.

EQ match (possibly)

 

[James Freeman]

A wasted opportunity.
He should have priced it at 800,000$ instead of 80$, that way he only had to lure 1 fool instead of 10,000.

So…

Have any of you purchased these impulse responses?

After Dynacabs I’m not sure I’ll bother buying traditional IR’s ever again, never mind $80 IR’s.

So, I had the opportunity to test drive these this evening. A buddy of mine is a huge Petrucci fan and apparently grabbed them when they were recently on sale.

As expected, they are dark. But I think I know why. These appear to have had high-cuts already applied to them, and from what I can tell, it’s around the 4-5,000 Hz range (not confirmed).

My guess is that John and his engineer intended for these to be mix ready, but for whatever mix they had in mind.

TL;DR: They are dark and might not cut without significant EQ’ing. However, they might work in a three-piece with a single guitar or in an instrumental solo guitar context.

Sitting around noodling over a backing track using a “liquid lead” tone at a higher volume, they sound fantastic.

That’s said, unless you’re a huge Petrucci fan, spend your $80 elsewhere.

Love the bonus string noise thud between chord fingerings.

That all sounds about right. DT’s mixes since Portnoy has been out of the band start with guitar first, everything else gets mixed under that.

I am a huge Petrucci fan, but since I missed this sale you speak of, I will hold onto my 80 bucks. He's gotten enough of my money.

 

[hemmelight]

Yeah, but did you get the beard oil???
