Yesterday i did an A/B comparison between a miced Speaker Cabinet and the counterpart Impulse Response, i captured with the Axe-Fx II. Recorded OUT2 (miced Cab w/o CAB IR) and OUT2 (CAB IR from that cab/mic/position) the same time. Here is the result:
Test 1.: JM45 + Strat -> Eminence Wizard -> SM57 Capedge on grill
MICED CAB
IR
Test 2.: Roomsound vs. Direct-Signal: Two Room Mic`s, Sound is the same like above!
Note: I switch beetween the two room mics and seperate them later into stereo panorama. So you`ll can get the idea what`s all about Amp-in-the-room vs. DI / Nearfield recordings ... sorry for different playing in the next sample, but my interface has just 2 Inputs ...
ROOM MICS (SM57 + ECM8000)
Double checked the Signal routings to be save not recording the same signal twice with another example:
Test 3.: Friedman BE + ES335 -> Eminence Governor -> Beta87A Capedge on grill
MICED CAB
IR
For those who won`t believe: Here are the original 6 .WAV files in zipped folder. RAW as recorded. Here you can check by inverting the phase, that the files are NOT identical. If so, the Sound would cancel completeley out ... it does not!
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/47593922/BOX vs IR + NEARFIELD vs ROOM.zip
[48KHz / 24bit / .WAV format - RAW as recorded]
CONCLUSION:
1.) Impulse Response technology is superior to represent real Speaker-cabinets. Real miced cab vs IR sounds almost identical.
2.) DO NOT compare acoustic recordings (mics in a room) with DI-recordings. This is senseless and illegitim -> compare Test1 with Test2 and think about "3D" and depth tonewise ...
