Mic sim. when use IR capture

[Ironwill]

DO i need a mic sim. in my line when i use a cabinet IR capture of my own actually? Or there are no advises to use NONE mic after the cab section, does it makes scene? :?

If you've captured your cab with a non-neutral mic, yes.
But if you used, say, a sm57, no.

But having said that, if it sounds good, who cares?

..used a sm 57 at IR capture, when i can set to NONE the mic sim right? But the NONE mic is still a neutral mic simulation i ve read or?

 

[yek]

No, NONE is not a neutral mic sim.

'None' isn't a mic, it literally means theres no mic selection and it's only the IR. But as Yek said, if it sounds good, then do it!

If you want to maintain the captured response from your SM57, leave it on 'none'.

Alright, i let it at NONE anyway, sounds better..haha but it was really interesting to know because i had saw this at wiki fractal:

The "None" setting still involves mic modeling. The stock "FAS" (Fractal) and "Mix" cabs were captured using a neutral Earthworks mic, placed close to the speaker. The same applies to the stock Red Wirez cabs. So the sound is still a close-mic'd tone. Still, selecting "none" with stock cabs is a good way to remove specific tonal influences from a mic from the tone.

But probably it is meant onlyfor the stock cabs... maybe. Thats why i ask,

thanks for the answers!!!

Like it has been said, none means no mis simulation. however, a neutral mic was used to capture many of the factory cabs.

The key is to use your ears. If it sounds right, do it. There really are no rules. I just think of the mics sims as a specialized EQ.

I've changed the wiki text.
