    Laptop/EMI question

    All computers are horrible EMI terrorists, they pollute at least nearest 10 feet in every direction. I managed to put the computer in next room with long cables, it was perfection: no emi or noise. 0db computer noise is a huge thing.

    Why is it necessary to apply high/lo pass filters to cabs?

    I never use high or low cuts. The IR sounds the same that the mic hears in front of the cabinet. Change the IR if its too bright.

    Live IR for Metal?

    Exactly. 100db sound has to be fat bastard without teeth rattling highs. Same sound will be duller than the Florida Man at home levels. (Google your birthdate with the phrase ”florida man” to find your spirit animal.)

    Tone Shaping - Sharp PEQ Cuts

    On a side note, people have different ”spikes” in their hearing, resulting from their ear canal size. Ear gain happens somewhere in 3-5khz area.

    Do we have a drive like this? harmonic percolator

    Best know as one of the most legendary recording engineer/(producers?) in the world. …and a winner of world series of poker tournament. That’ll fund his record making hobby for a while.

    Axe bogging down my computer and freezing

    Ancient pc works fine if it has a fresh install of windows without bloatware and junk. Format everything and start from the beginning. A 25 year old computer is powerful enough to run a period-correct DAW and record 50 tracks perfectly, just keep such relics away from the internet and they work...

    It’s the headphones, but cut as deeply as you need to and call it a day.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    Big change, this is! (Plexi 6ca7 at same amp settings: reset block, bass to 2, treble to 10) Short Reamp test with just the 6ac7 and fw24 and 25, new is bouncy, fuzzier.

    My JCM800 Just Blew Up

    My first experience with a JCM800 curbed my enthusiasm for a while: I was maybe 17, I loaned a JCM800 from music store and carried it to my bedroom. It looked cool and sounded lame at those 75db bedroom volumes. ... ... then all of a sudden it exploded! It quickly ramped up from normal tones to...

    Deluxe Reverb Tone - Can Axe-FX Do This With No Pedals?

    What, i had zero idea DeluxeVerb is a fire breathing monster! It became a Dumbleish thing here, paired with various punchy cabinets. Very tasty! Cut and fat controls on the ideal page give a lot more variation.

    Why do some IR's and DynaCab's seem to compress more than others?

    For sure it does, i’ve done hundreds of those with mic in one spot and just tweaking preamp gain into different levels of distortion. It changes the resulting eq, of course it doesn't capture the distortion itself. Monitoring the actual sound is useless, as the result is unpredictable. Thats why...

    Why do some IR's and DynaCab's seem to compress more than others?

    side note: if you do your own IRs and want to go deeper into the rabbit hole, drive your mic preamp into distortion. It changes the result, and can sound nice once baked into the IR.
