Kevin will update the OH packs, so that everyone who has already bought the cab models will get the upgrade for free.
I would suspect that he will provide an ultra res version of each cab, unless Fractal ask him not to, so everyone buys a copy of Cab Lab which I honestly can't see happening as FAS are the least selfish and greedy company I've ever dealt with.
Bottom line is buy the OH and Fractal cabs, they will both release free updates in due course. Cab lab is a powerful too for getting a massive sound and using less CPU. You will not be disappointed.
If I remember correctly the fractal cabs don't have enough lenght to be converted.
I don't think fractal can or want to avoid owhammer or any of us to convert any file and disbribute it freely IMO
I always use two cabs, is UltraRes applicable for stereo, or only mono?
Ah, right now I see a problem. I was pleased to hear about the upcoming Ultra Res option. Even more pleased that it actually saves a few % CPU. Many of my presets are getting close to the dreaded 90%. But now I understand that the Ultra Res utility will only work in Mono. So, to have it work with my presets (stereo) I will require two separate cab blocks in each preset. That will undoubtedly overload quite a few of my main presets, so on the face of it, I needn't bother looking forward to this anymore...Drat!
Can I ask why you need a stereo sound? If it's to make your sound bigger, you could run one instance of the cab block and pan one cab left and the other right. Using Ultra Res with this shouldn't eat up any more CPU at all.
My setup is stereo, Its not to make it 'bigger' but for the use of stereo effects (delays, chorus etc..). I currently use a single instance of a 'stereo' cab block with each side panned L & R. From what I've just read, it looks like I won't be able to run a single stereo cab block in Ultra Res. It would need to be 2 x mono cab instances each panned L & R.
What is available now is what it is; they were captured with Axe-FX II's IR capture only. No Ultra Res on these current Fractal Audio Producer Packs available as I post this; not now, not ever unless they are recaptured from scratch.
Future (aka NEW) packs will be available in UltraRes once it is released in the firmware updates.
NOTE: ***This is as was told to me and as I understand it. Subject to change or be altered; I don't work for Fractal and am just trying to help answer your question best I can.
THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL WORD - but it is 100% accurate to my understanding of what I was told.
All I did was contact Fractal Audio and ask them; that gets things explained far better than just a post on the forum.
Please feel free to contact them directly and ask to confirm what I was told and am posting here.
Aren't most of your effects post Cab anyway? I think that it wouldn't matter in that case.
