FPFL
Experienced
Thanks. You can not agree with me, and are entirely welcome to - but it's pretty straight ahead at this point.Any misrepresentation was unintentional. The meaning of your statement wasn’t clear.
Inanimate objects can’t be blamed for how we use them, and, though it’s more of an experience thing that teaches people to not make wild swings in their overall sound, the same problem exists with any cabinet and modeler, or a synthesizer. If the gear is flexible enough to imitate several different types of amps and cabs or other instruments, it’s possible to misuse it, and generally the band, or the sound person, or a friend will quickly point out the problem.
The same logic used about the FRFR applies to the modeler or a synthesizer, but do we want to recommend not using them, or using something to act as training wheels? I doubt it.
You want people to believe getting IR right for live is no harder than anything else, or so it seems. I think this is bad advice as IR is what swamps most newbies, like the OP. Your "logic" analogies have no purpose. We aren't talking about synths to synth players; The OP was a classic amp guy.
My advice is to learn the platform but wait on trying IR for live for newbies. When you've mastered the basics of Fractal platform and how to tweak amps and FX to your liking, then go to the IR rabbit hole. Not everything all at once. That is the path of frustration. I stand by that.
I'm out. Be well.
