BTW, seems like Axe-Fx users are there biggest customer. :mrgreen:

Cam said:So what's the overall consensus of the Recabs... just more variety or are they better. I know $40 is a good price but I use mostly Claws, Jays and bmi's and am pretty satisfied.... And I don't have near the time some of you guys have to experiment... but if it's worth it for even one or two of them I'd get the recabs.
Kazrog said:Thanks for the feedback and support!
I'm the "Recabinet guy" and I'm very reachable - probably the best way is through the Recabinet Forums.
As for the questions: there's 3 big things we're working on for the forthcoming Recabinet updates, which are free for registered users:
- Brighter, more dynamic sound.[/*:m:2ve011lh]
- New AxeFX specific impulses done with an Earthworks M30 reference mic and solid state power.[/*:m:2ve011lh]
- More cabinets![/*:m:2ve011lh]
Additionally, we'll be coming out with a second product in 2009, Recabinet Vintage, which will be a collection of vintage combo amp and open-back cabinet impulse responses.
We're very excited about the positive feedback we've gotten from the AxeFX community, and we will continue to support the AxeFX more fully over time.

I have a question about the farfield technique: What distance (in terms of feet, approximate) is recommended? We have the room and the ability in the studio to accommodate almost any distance without reflection problems, we can also set up baffles if needed to avoid an overly "roomy" tone. I'm sure I can guess as to what would be best, and from an acoustics perspective this makes a great deal of sense, but I am just curious as to what has sounded the best in practice on the AxeFX.
Thanks!

With the farfield the goal was always to get an "amp in the room" feel.
So the placement of the mic was like where you would normally stand in front of an amp.
About 6 feet away, a little off center and a 2-3 feet above the amp.
As far as I understand "room" is not a problem because 1024 IR's (21ms) are too short to include room reflections.
Again, Jay can probably help the most here.
Happy customer here, can't wait for the Vintage stuff (right up my alley)

Not sure what that thread has to do with this specific topic, but I have just posted in the thread and addressed some of the issues people have brought up. We anticipated that this kind of feedback would most likely happen after releasing Recabinet, and it's really not bothersome (some of it is actually hilarious.) Constructive criticism helps us make a better product, and vague FUD doesn't hurt us, since anyone can download the free demo and develop their own opinion.
