I like the natural room sound you are getting with your IR mix. Are you exporting the 4 IR blend from Cablab and using a single (blended) IR on your FM3? Im wanting to learn about mixing IRs like this for my FM9. Thanks.
No for this one it was just 2 irs in the fm3.
When I do that I just choose one mic ir I like. Just one. In this case it was not the unidyne (it’s the one I generally use from Solodallas) but a u47 if I remember well.
It’s my core tone.
then I just choose one room ir I like from the pack and mix it with the other ir.
As I just want to give some breath to the core tone I blended it about -10db. So it’s there but not too much.
Then I adjust the cuts, I don’t care at all about the numbers. I just adjust until it sounds great to my ears and fingers.
It’s for a quick tweaking.
If I want to go further, I choose irs one by one, make the cuts ir by ir.
Starting with direct mics then blend them into cablab and repeat the same step but with room ir.
I generally end with 2 irs :
mic(s) + room(s) Left
mic(s) + room(s) Right
That I can import into the fm3 and pan 100 l/r
It takes time, but what really takes time is finding irs you like.
I spent 2 years auditioning everyday irs folders, tweaking them, cutting them and spend a lot of money to find what works for me, my ears and my fingers.
I’m just happy I’ve found Solodallas. Makes my life easier.
And a rock plexi kind of guy and they are specialized in Marshall cabs.
