… this is an example of what you had before dynacab and why some people said that they lack something . If you don’t hear a difference between both samples, even if they are different that’s not the point : you can try whatever you want with the dynacab you won’t have a tone like that. Even with one single IR from OH with a 57 only. Just mute the second IR in the preset I have uploaded and you ll see . I just asked myself “why”, nothing more .Seems like a stretch to conclude Dynacabs generally have less mids. I say this because:
With all these possible differences, I have a hard time with the general conclusion that: "Dynacabs lack mids" (+ I'm not hearing that difference myself, as I convert my own presets to Dynacab).
- The IC curve values (which have a big impact) change as soon as a Dynacab is selected - in your test, are you setting IC values to be equal across A and B to take IC differences out of the comparison?
- Do we know yet what the Dynacab Ribbon or Condensor mic is? (I don't remember that being revealed) If not, A and B might not even be comparing the same microphone.
- Afaik, the actual speaker loaded is not yet known in most of the Dynacabs (including Rectos), or the Legacy IRs referenced in that preset - so you may be A/B testing a completely different speaker.
- The mic position calibration is likely different between Dynacab and any given Legacy IR.
- The mic pre used is likely different between the 2.
- As mentioned above, 3rd party IRs could have additional EQ baked into them which could make an impact.
