Wish Better defaults for Dyna-Cabs

So now all Dyna-Cabs start with every mic at the center of the cone, right against the dust cap.

I think a good little usability improvement would be figuring out a "works with most amps" setting for each cab/mic combination and using that as the default.

For example you are probably going to move the Dynamic 1 mic a bit towards the edge of the cone to make it less harsh for example, just like most do with a real SM57.

How about if we could save a default mic position globally?

The library function can be used for that.

To me this is more about better starting points for people unfamiliar to micing amps.

There will always be dissatisfaction. I had a girlfriend that liked it harsh

Won't work. Mic positions differ per speaker type and mic type (and personal opinion).
And if you always use the same speaker/mic/position, you might as well skip dyna-cabs and use a single IR.

Maybe, but it's one where you specifically positioned the mics, without going through thousands of files on disk.

Yes, upcoming Cab-Lab will probably allow the user to save that to disk as an IR.
