I'm sorta confused by the approach shown by the Fractal pics, maybe someone can help me understand.
If they shoot all these IRs, through that variety of microphones..even though they capture each IR individually through those mics... Ultimately, each IR becomes one 'cab' file in the Axe-Fx.
Setting that cab to 'none' on the mic setting, makes sense, if the 'none' truly applies no more filtering. But then, the mic settings are additional filters, to an already 'mic applied' cab IR. In short, if Fractal chooses the Mesa cab through a R121 to be THE IR for that cab...changing the mic setting only further absracts that IR. And I don't get that logic.
The Redwires/OH approach, I can more closely understand, where they tell you what mic, in what position, and then you just set the mic to 'none' to get the 'un-molested' IR in your chain.
Any thoughts?
Whatever the capture method, the new v10 cabs sound and feel absolutely superb. Using them with the internal mics still works so don't worry about it too much

You might be over thinking it.
All IR's are captured with some kind of microphone.
The microphone simulation in the CAB block has always been a separate deal from the IR itself.
Of course. But the mic sim is another filter, applied to the original capture mic. Jay's old posts addressed all that stuff...including the part of the 'null' mic, which ideally, is a tightly calibrated 'testing' mic, capturing the cab with 0 reflections or multipath. As close to 'hearing the cab' as physically possible. It would be neat, if turning the mic setting to 'sm57' would actually bring up the selected cab, shot thru a 'sm57' .. but that quickly leads to a GOZILLION IR files. Anyway...
The IR's are "pre-mixed" so you don't choose a mic in the Cab block with these. They are labeled (clearly) as "Mix" so you can tell.
Individual IR's with each mic (separate) will be made available.
I cannot overemphasize how much of an overall positive experience each of these IR's (the premixed ones) are.
A zen approach, to be sure! I was just curious.
Seeing that old boogie cab takes me way back. I loved that thing but it was so friggin loud. And heavy (gotta love these cab sims!!!).

He asked a direct and legitimate technical question. Replying "don't worry about it" is condescending and neither productive nor respectful.
Cheers,

Sorry if I offended, appeared condescending or disrespected you or anyone else. I was merely trying to say it's not worth over thinking at this stage, wait for 10 to land and work it out for yourself. I guess I'll just STFU and go back to playing my guitar, catch you later!
