So from what I recall... the dephase control in the cab block smooths out prominent frequency spikes, or RESONANCES in a cab IR.
Now... when I watch tutorials on mixing heavy guitars...a common theme seems to be hunting down and nuking these resonances. Lots of surgical cuts at 4k-ish and especially the whistle/fizz at around 5.4K ... more cuts in the upper mids doing the same. ... followed by a wide scoop at 300-ish.
Has anyone spent any time with using the dephase parm to accomplish the same result? Does anyone think that these resonances are what make the cab have character, and the whole process above just sort of makes a pink-noise wash?
I've been doing a lot of mixing for a looming release...and I've lost all perspective.
Thoughts please?
