That's really cool...I have a friend with a lot of older amps that I'd really like to make IR's from....studio guy...has nice mics/desk, API, Avalon pre's, nice outboard gear, etc. I've been wanting to do this for a while and might be something to do over the winter if I can just find the time.
I like the newest FAS UR/DI capture IR's a lot (not only the sound but how they've efficiently reduced the number of captures) and wonder if there is any info they could pass onto the community so users could get the best IR captures of these types of incredible amps that we have access to?
Do you have a standard positioning strategy? What is it you listen for at each position to determine the final placements, stuff like that. I realize there is no paint by numbers method here but any tips to get the best UR/DI captures would be great. FAS samples a lot of cabinets with a lot of mics in a short time in a studio so am wondering what kind of general workflows you may have discovered and can pass on to use time efficiently and get usable captures.
The ultimate would be if FAS could come up with a process/template that techie users could employ (that wouldn't give any trade secrets away, etc.) to measure signals, voltages, G3 data, etc. and send that info back to FAS for incorporation into sims. All the amps the world over could be cloned to live forever and never die (like a bad science fiction movie lol). Imagine how cool that would be...1,345 AC30 variants heh..
