You can essentially do the same thing as the mic Ir’s with an EQ, that’s really all those mic captures are.
+1 and with virtual mic positionningPlease bring them back.
Not gonna happen. What we found is that convolving a conventional mic IR with an IR obtained with a reference mic sounds nothing like capturing the IR with the conventional mic. The beam pattern of a reference mic is completely different than conventional mics. A reference mic is nearly omnidirectional whereas conventional mics have narrower beam patterns. In the far-field this wouldn't matter as much and "microphone modeling" might work. However in the near field this makes a huge difference and it simply doesn't work. Furthermore in the far field you want the response to be as neutral as possible so in this case there would be no desire for mic modeling anyways.
Just my opinion and what (I think) I’m observing with an amp in the room sound is not so much frequency content but how the lower half of that content is timed and bouncing the room?
Maybe so, but it sure was a useful tool for extra tone shaping of any particular sound you could be going for. FWIW - When auditioning the mics in the cab block, I never even used to look at what the mic actually was... Just listened for the instant tone change.... Like it, dont like it.... Maybe etc etc.convolving a conventional mic IR with an IR obtained with a reference mic sounds nothing like capturing the IR with the conventional mic

Sure it might not be authentic, but was is? other than the real life amp/cab/mic etc.
Of course - and this is something I do almost all of the time.Essentially you can turn the levels or freq of a parametric EQ and stop turning when you like the change for the better

Among the 2000+ factory cabs in the Axe III, there many clearly-labeled mic choices. The chances of finding the cab you're looking for, together with the mic you're looking for, are excellent.Right...but what I found was that when I used the mic models in the cab block in the Axe2 in the studio for the first time, in a matter of minutes I was able to get the sounds I expected to hear after 35 years of mic’ing my amp cabs with SM57’s and MD421’s by selecting my speakers of choice and those mic models in the cab block and simply running it into the UA stereo preamp I like to use...this was a huge selling point for me (the engineers were also pretty impressed) and I’ve since come to rely on it.

But why take it away???? if you dont want to use it..... Then guess what.... Dont. Simple.Among the 2000+ factory cabs in the Axe III, there many clearly-labeled mic choices. The chances of finding the cab you're looking for, together with the mic you're looking for, are excellent.
Mate, 85% of the parameters in the Axe FX are not "the highest level of realism" Look through any of the available parameter pages in the amp block.not at the highest level of realism
