Creating own IRs... or is MCabinet the better Solution?

[mccy]

My answer to that question is: We'll see. I bet a combination of both could be fantastic... I have some ideas allready.

I think MCabinet definitively lacks some "body" from the Cabs as it is just a bit more than just the EQ curve, but I may be wrong. I very much like the long IRs in the Strymon Iridium which points in the direction that it's not only about the frequencyresponse. Yea, MCabinet has that resonators, but maybe someone could explain how to get that dynamic Frequency behaviour of a cabinet. I couldn't manage that so far.

Very nice how "scientifically" you approach things! MCabinet is for loading the IR's, the other tools are for changing color, they simulates not a real box. Maybe we can create an algorythm in MTurboReverb that simulates this and then include it there? I would love to experiment with that, I love MTurboReverb. Will you publish the IR's?

[mccy]

MCabinet loads IRs but extracts only the frequencycurve (and of course allowes modifications to heaven).

I 'm just 'doing' so far. I just entered that field. I have some pre assumptions, some ideas, but I have really no idea where this will end.

It will be about 30 microphones and I will control which speaker is fired from the computer. 1-4 Speakers solo and together... Different settings for firing etc. I am very very curious...

The parameters found in MRotary's cabinet section could be what you are looking for. (I think Vojtek said he would consider adding them to MCabinet.) They include material, air, absorption, ambience and even an ability to morph the materials.

I hope you still have a meditation pillow over for you after all this !
Good point werzel.
For the IR in MCabinet perhaps an option "use original IR instead the converted frequency response" or something. The displayed frequency response should still match.

Quite a few left . Oooooom!
We have MConvolution. And Conolution Bank. No problem with IRs. I asked Vojtech, if he could make IRs flexible live mixable to have the result as one IR for saving CPU. There will be another solution, not so well for this szenario but Killer for itself and worth dropping the other idea for that direction. Iallready have plans

I made a first testround and the results are very nice!
This is the first CAB which came my way... there will be so much more

It's so crazy when I turn up the headphones and look at the speakers I think THEY are on!

... about 40gb and 65000 files later I need a break. I'd like to lsten to the latest round with correctet hum-problem and in the the end a freaking experimental session where of course 95% of the IRs are bullshit, but these amounts of data make sense (if the 88.2 & 176.4 khz recordings make sense, I don't know that so far, otherwise I could have avoided harddrivespace consumtion).

I played with the interaction of the microphones with 4 speakers, 4 poweramps, about 30 microphones and one round has 576 impulses fired up with variations in many ways. It's not like this is a 4x12 or 1 x 12 or 10'' cabinet, but it's: What happens if the 12'' box with the Sennheiser microphone has some pumping, dying bassloaded speaker near to it in the back or from above 90 degrees waves from an open cabinetless speaker irritating the recording. i hope some sounds will be usable for Bass too.

I will listen 'in skip modus' through reaverb through the IRs and so I can pick the very finest bvery fast. That's what I did in my first rounds and I liked that resuls allready very very much. So much character in it!

I can't promise that anyone else will like it. This will take time to polish and combine the sounds.
After this my thesis is: In the end the speaker & microphone has by far the biggest influence on sound, so with the signature of that combination + the room you can sculpt sounds beyond that digital Guitaramp with 4 CABs. It maybe won't sound so balanced, but we have enough of these polished VST plugins out there. Here it's all about character!

You are the Airwindows of guitar amps , I'm very impressed and positivly curious wehre it will lead to

The succint and well explained july 202 SOS' review, helped me understand what's novel about MCabinet, apart from the traditional Melda's extra controls and wider tweakable ranges.

An extract:
"MCabinet has the ability to analyse third-party IRs and create a profile from them. In fact, it can analyse not only individual IRs, but also a folder of them, calculating an average on which to base the profile."

I'm at the point, where I value the advantages of both worlds, the MCabinet WILL be absolutely fantastic in a way it was not intended (maybe it was) . It serves me now as the ultimate flexible frequency curve adaptor together with MXXX multiparameters.

BUT I will use Cabinets. Point. I like the way they catch also the room and the material substance of the speakers just a little bit. At that point vojtech and me have a different opinion... statistically he will 'win' in the end anyway, but I like diversity so very much, so I will use my 100% own self created Cabinets with flavours that have not been heard yet. An IR is like a snowflake, there are no two identical snowflakes .
