I'm not sure who you sent this email to, but it wasn't to me. If you sent it through the contact/support portal, make sure that you get a message success screen on return; I don't not respond to emails.
A "message was sent successfully" prompt was provided both at the Ownhammer inquiry form, as well as at the gmail mailing engine.
However, had I been sent one, I would have more or less referred you to Q/A #11 on the Speaker Cabinets F.A.Q. page, where this question may not be answered to your satisfaction, but is even addressed or not.
And why don't we go ahead then and observe this section. But before we do that, please be advised that whether I am satisfied or not with the answer is irrelevant to the fact of whether the question is addressed. And based on the actual response to question 11, I have every reason to believe that no such addressing has taken place to this date. Here is question #11:
11) What additional equipment not listed on the Impulses Home Page was used for impulse response capture?
View/Hide Answer
Due to the popularity of online community message boards and forums, many people hear with their eyes instead of their ears. To avoid preconceived notions via the placebo effect, all that will be disclosed is that all equipment is of professional studio caliber, and no corners were cut at ANY point in the signal chain. The power amplifier used for the Speaker Cabinet libraries is solid state to allow the most transparent connection to the cabinet and onward.
Hmm... this is dubious at best. In order for your statement about any preconceived notions to be compatible with the first statement in that answering paragraph, then you should not have indicated that the gear used was of professional caliber. By mentioning this, it already botches what would be a fair and controlled test, by already making the end user believe that the IRs are premium converter-generated. But this whole paragraph to FAQ #11 is not an answer, but more of an evasion. And if you want your IRs to remain a mystery, then why even answer that the IRs are 'not' made with m-audio converters? For all I know, your statement could even lead us me to believe they are since you fail to state what they ARE made with.
But I am not interested in what the IRs are 'not' made with, I am interested in knowing what they 'are' made with.
I have no interest in discussing it further as for the reasons listed in that Q/A, nor shall I respond to any further posts regarding this, but can assure you it's not an M-Audio.
Since I have demonstrate that the reasoning listed in the Q/A is unsatisfactory, I would question the nature of why you wish not to discuss my valid inquiry further. Why conceal something in the dark if the truth of the matter is actually of top-caliber? If the IRs are indeed of that caliber, then quite the reverse would be apparent, because it would be followed by your willingness to discuss the matter further. But a refferal to the statement "all equipment is of professional studio caliber, and no corners were cut at ANY point in the signal chain", followed by a blatant refusal to discuss the matter further is quite an evasion of my question, very unsatisfactory, and definitely not incompatible with the existence of an m-audio converter in the signal chain. Especially since many also consider m-audio products to be studio caliber and one cannot dismiss such persons for that opinion.
And I am a little bit unsatisfied with the results I have been achieving with ownhammer IRs in relation to the rest of my IRs, and i have had no choice but to begin an inquiry into the gear used in their capture to be sure we can identify the possibility that it is indeed my engineering abilities which are leading to this lack of results, and surely not the gear used in their capture. But no such clarification on behalf of Ownhammer has been forthcoming.
Pity to see you won't be around for a lot of the really cool libraries coming out, I guess you'll be letting everyone else have all the fun! No hard feelings.
Well I did not approach the matter with any intent to produce feelings, but it is a little difficult for me to be satisfied with my purchase if you can't even tell me what converters you used. The objective in the free market is to avoid producing feelings of resentment among one's client base.
