Man, I almost want to complain that it’s getting too easy to dial shit in. In direct opposition of my post above about not finding good IR’s for Dual Recs, I got the YA DV77 cab pack and started making some DR presets with them. I’ve got an Orange Vintage and a Red Modern that are both stock settings (everything at noon) and they sound killer.
What’s funny is last week I was saying that no Recto should sound good with everything at noon because that’s now how they sound in real life and now I’m eating my words.
It’s entirely possible that the absurd amount of IR’s I own is lending itself to this; but the amount of amp block tweaking I’ve done since Cygnus has come out has dropped by way more than half. 9x out of 10, I’m finding an IR and hitting the Save button because it’s done and ready to go.
Last night I made a JTM45 preset, spent 4 minutes looking for an IR and then I was done. Everything is at noon and I’m not sure I can make it sound any better, but merely make minor adjustments to fit into a specific mix.
As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the tweaking and “Aha!”, moments when finding something interesting, as silly as it sounds, there is a part of me that’s kind of bummed by not having to work for the tones I want.
Ah….just had an “Aha!”, moment while typing that; pretty sure that’s my self-sabotage kicking in that’s preventing me from completing my goal of finishing my fucking album.
