Keano,
the stock cab sims on the axefx each use 1 "space", regardless of how they were first made. when you apply them to a stereo cab block each IR is represented as 100 %. You have the option within the cab block to mix theses two IR's to different levels (creating a different mix ratio). It would be possible to use two stereo cab blocks and a total of 4 different cabs to achieve a "mix"; however it is inefficient in terms of the axefx's resources as it will use a fair amount of CPU for the second stereo cab. Can be done, but you may find yourself sacrificing an effect or other if you have complicated - CPU heavy patches.
The axefx contains 10 user slots in the cab section. This means that only 10 "spaces" are available for users to upload cab IR's. What Scottt and others are doing is using the Redwirez mixer to create IR's which will be premixed and sent to the axefx in order to maximize the 10 spaces available for user uploaded cabs. This process is not unique to the redwirez ir's, but it is a convenient tool some of us are using. Some of the stock axefx cabs may have been created in the same manor....i dont know for sure as i didnt create them. The point is- it comes down to a matter of resources and where do we want to use them.
Scott, I and others are using the redwire mixer tool to create (1) IR mixed to how we want the cab to sound before sending it to the user ir section. This will allow for (10) custom IR's....use them how you will within the axefx.
Personally, i do not use the stereo cabs, i achieve the cab mix i am looking for in the redwire cabs, make the ir>upload to axefx and roll with a mono hires cab. this allows the rest of the axefx resources to be utilized in other locations.
hope this helps.
