Port City IR

[DrNick]

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I shot a bunch of IRs of my Port City OS Wave 2x12 (loaded with WGS Veteran 30s) using an SM57. There's a blend I made with CabLab that I use a lot, so I thought I'd pass it on.

This is my first and only experience shooting IRs, so I would welcome any comments positive or negative about the result!

Thanks!!

I really like it, nice job man. What is the position of the mic?

 

[Anthony David]

Also, just for clarification, is this the Wave OS or Vertical Wave OS cab?

It's a blend of four positions: middle of the speaker, edge of the cone, halfway between these two, and the port. The port is what gives it that punchy low end.

And it's the horizontal version of the Wave OS, not the vertical.

Thank you very much! I actually like this IR so much, I just went through and redid most my patches with it. I see why Tosin Abasi uses Port cabs, very articulate and defined.

Thank you. I am not a big IR guy, but it's nice to try something new once in a while.

My pleasure - I'm happy to give back to this community in any way I can, having gotten so much out of it myself!

If there is sufficient interest, I would be happy to post the constituent IRs I used to make this mix so folks could make their own blend to suit their tastes.

 

[Anthony David]

That would be cool with me!

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to trying it out!!

Sorry, I got distracted by the arrival of my second child shortly after originally posting this and promising to upload the constituent IRs in the mix posted in the first place. Ten months later... here they are!

Also, I should point out that I mistakenly said the cabinet was loaded with WGS Veteran 30s - in fact they are WGS Retro 30s.

Enjoy!

Do these work in CabLab or do we need the *.ir versions?

You will need the Ir version to load in cab-lab...

in all the case, thank you Dr Nick to share this Irs .)

I think cablab has a utility to convert between the two formats. For some reason the forum would only allow me to attach syx files.

 

[DrNick]

It seems *.zip files are allowed by the forum, so I've attached a zip file containing the *.ir files.

I don't usually used this archive file format, so do let me know if I've screwed something up...

Worked great thanks. I THINK cablab will read non-ultrares IRs (as there was no alternative file format at that time), but now they have introduced the stupid *.ir format as some sort of copy protection its a real pain in the arse.
