Better mic pre, sure, but the DynaMount robo capture tooling and concept isn't new.I remember seeing that they were new captures with the robo-mic and a better mic pre, or something to that effect....
Didn't say the robo-mic setup was new, just that these were new captures through a different mic pre. For DynaCabs, the robo-mic thing actually is an ingredient in the secret sauce, tho, as it allows the small, precise intervals of placement that make the dials for distance from center and distance from grille cloth work smooooooovely....Better mic pre, sure, but the DynaMount robo capture tooling and concept isn't new.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of Fractal's embrace of it, but that's not some magic secret sauce.
What you’ve touched on here is significant.I think a lot of users just want to pick a great sounding IR from a custom mix instead of sit down and move the virtual mics around until they come across their ideal tone…
I see so many people who want turn key presets, or that don’t want any advanced parameters. Dynacabs are basically like your back to moving your own mics around, selecting type of mic etc. I know some people want that, but surely not all users are going to go through the effort and maybe don’t even understand the way of working with real mics.
I can’t get anywhere near the low end from dynacabs. And I’m still messing with them.
I'd bet these are relatedDynacabs are 20ms and Ultrares are 170ms. I hear a difference.
If Cliff had a nickel....What you’ve touched on here is significant.
That Dynacabs have put the legacy IR people in the same boat as the “hide the advanced parameters” people.
Which is hilarious.

I think people are just happy with their tones it’s like a comfortable shoes , especially if you are gigging a lotDamn….seeing a lot of the replies here is really surprising…….seems the Dyna-Cabs aren’t the big hit I thought they were.
I sure like em……View attachment 122873

Like with power tube differences, I'm amazed people hear pronounced differences between 1024 and Max rez cabs - I hear no difference between 1024/Max on Ultrares cabs I've tested (nor do I even see much difference in various meters). I know my ears are not good but I also don't think they are that bad either. Guess that's why I'm quite satisfied with my cabs/dynacabs at 512 or even 256 in some cases. I really don't believe there is a significant difference in many instances (I'd bet a lot of the pronounced differences some hear is due to custom selected ICs in legacy vs a very different auto-assigned IC in dynacab tho it's hard to compare since afaik, we don't have an instance where the same cab is captured using both the legacy and dynacab processes).
The difference is really noticeable to me in the lows. The UltraRes just has more low end fullness and depth.Like with power tube differences, I'm amazed people hear pronounced differences between 1024 and Max rez cabs - I hear no difference between 1024/Max on Ultrares cabs I've tested (nor do I even see much difference in various meters).

My understanding is, that while Dyna Cabs are basically multiple 'traditional' IRs of a speaker, Fractal has discovered a new method of capturing IRs as well as the use of a robot to shoot them. It's not just a UI for selecting IRs.I think it's important to note that Dyna Cab is really a UI used to select Old School IRs that (as of now) were shot by Fractal.
