Is there room for many new IR`s.
Like how many?
We got 70..ish now,and 50 User Ir`s
well... Cliff is pretty much one of the few people who managed to get digital modelling right, so I'm pretty sure he'll be able to do the same when it comes to capturing and providing IRs.OwnHammer and Redires have the IR territory pretty well covered, IMHO. But nobody but Fractal can work on getting the drive pedals to sound their best. If you could work on getting them as close to dead-on as the amp models are, that would be my preference.
FWIW, I don't subscribe to "flavored" IRs (i.e. Warm or Fat or whatever). I do like the idea of using different preamps to capture the coloration of those preamps but I don't feel any additional EQ should be applied.
I guess that's where personal taste comes in. some like their cabs more bassy, scooped, mid heavy, bright...whichever way you can think of. to please many users would be impossible. much easier to have the IR as natural and unprocessed to begin with and then tweak to taste in the Axe. at least that's how I'd treat it...I don't really mind further eqing of the IR signal chain as long as its not heavy handed. If you think about it, using different mic pres and mics/positioning is EQing the signal differently anyway. Why take an EQ/ more iron out of the equation?

No argument about his capability, just that other people are already doing good things in the IR space, too, but nobody can compete (literally) with Cliff's team when it comes to making the overdrive pedals their best.

One of my primary goals for next year is to build up a library of pro-quality IRs. We are reserving studio time to capture as many cabs as we can. This will include classic amps (i.e Fender Champ) as well as separate cabinets.
I can't overemphasize the importance of IRs. The amp modeling is down to the point that it is so close to the real amps that it doesn't matter anymore. It's all about the IR.
The Axe-Fx II was designed with a lot of extra storage space for factory IRs and I would like to take advantage of that soon.
Direct from the horse's mouth...What I would love to see or get my hands on are the matching ir's to the models that bring them to that point of accuracy!

Though the Redwire and OH ir's are good I don't think they are matched to the ax so much, they seem to be made more for the convolution and DAW applications that have longer samples and probably work well for that (couldn't say i've never tried it)and just seem to be missing the mark a little in the Ax Fx! A comment was made earlier in the thread about the matches Cliff has made being so accurate,and I agree! Plus the comment of the importance of shooting the amps ir before matching, being a major factor in accuracy! What I would love to see or get my hands on are the matching ir's to the models that bring them to that point of accuracy! I don't feel the ir's available do that! So I am Very much looking forward to this development!!

Yes , My appologies, That's what I meant to say I worded it wrong! I will edit that if I can!No, what I said was shooting the cabinet IR being a major factor. Then the Tone Match block is just "cleaning up" any differences.
