Thanks to Austin Buddy and a little reading, I think I found my favorite IR Sounds. Here's a quote from Eddie Kramer (Hendrix recording engineer:
It would be cool if other IR Packs included both the M160 (in multiple positions) and a Room IR...
Has anyone else tried this combination? Thoughts?
When asked about the techniques used to record Hendrix's guitar, Eddie Kramer's response is concise and to the point. "I'd stick a bloody mic in front of it and hope for the best," he jokes. "Nah, generally speaking it was either a 67 or [a Beyer] M160 or a combination of both, which I still use today. It might be slightly different, of course, but the basic principle's the same — a ribbon and a condenser, along with compression and EQ and reverb. All that stuff was always added during recording."
I'm really surprised after reading this that many other Cab Packs I have purchased do not include the M160. All I had to do was mix the M160 w/a Room IR included in Austin Buddy's cab packs and their it was... Magic!
