Doubt it. The vast majority people wouldn't know what to do with the information. Reference the Big Box collection from Redwirez if you want to see meticulous meta data in IR names that ultimately means nothing to the users. You use your ears in the end.
And it all falls apart when you have multi-microphone mixes with multple cabinet and speaker types.
$100 says you can't identify a 57 on cap edge 2" out sound from a 1" out sound or a 121. If I gave you 10 samples with different IRs you'd do no better than chance identifying the mic and position. $100 says no one on the forum can do better than chance.
The point is to help users develop a methodical/consistent approach to find IRs, associating IRs with its common sense metadata helps that. Sure some are happy with sticking with a few small number of IRs and be done with it. But many would love to better take advantage of various cabs, mics, and tonal characteristics but working with a large IR collections.
“Just using your ears“ may work OK for auditioning a small number of IR, but is VERY counter productive when working with large collections.
Factory cabs/IRs seem to contain a lot, but my main problem with them is the following two:
1. They lacks consistency, as many are assembled from various(random) venders.
2. They may look like they at least provide "variety" on the surface, but not really, as most of them seem to be chosen as close range off-axis ones, and a lot of them
do not sound good to my ears in similar ways.
Using Helix's stock cabs for many years, I can say that it provides consistency and at the same time covers a wide range of tonal spectrum. Once users learned how to use/navigate it, finding the right cab is no longer a randomly listening-by-ear hit-or-miss mess...
It's convenient/easy to throw in tons of IRs with the "golden listen by ear" argument, but it'd take innovation and efforts to design a user-friendly interface to help users (power users, professionals) navigate among the sea of IRs. Helix did not a bad job on this, and Mikko's work was a great eye-opening proof of concept for this as well!
I am NOT saying this as a complain to Fractal, but consider it a motivation and challenge from an avid fan/user.
Innovation, by definition, hinges on reevaluating and questioning the things we use to believe or disbelieve.
