The FREE IRs, Amp sims, and boosts post.
Over time I've collected a fuck ton of digital gear. Trying to build out a functional studio situation for working on my stuff as well as other people's projects and stuff. There's always talks of what boosts, sims, and IRs people use so I figured I'd share what I have. Below are folders for...www.sevenstring.org
To be honest, it's great - most commonly used when I need something else that differentiates from the stock stuff. The Gates Of Hell IR that comes in it is my primary for rhythm stuff - low tuned or not. It's a killer IR, takes on the character of whatever amp/sim you're running through it, but keeps it clean enough that it doesn't flub or crap out. Plus, it's almost dead silent, which I love. Some IRs tend to add noise, this one doesn't have that issue.The downtuned pack is 1 of the few Bogren packs I don't have yet. Next sale I'll snag it.
IRs are like a snapshot of the frequency response curve of a cab and mic. The same kind of thing does exist for amp heads, stomp boxes and full rigs but it's more complicated technology and that's the realm of profiling, like what the Kemper, Quad Cortex, Tonex and NAM do.Are IRs just foe cam/mic combo Sims or do they do IRs for amp heads?
IR stands for "impulse response" which means it measures the the frequency curve of the speaker. With amps there's saturation, distortion and compression to emulate so there's more to do there. You can get something that models the amp and all of it's features or you can use something like NAM which just takes a snashot/profile of a certain amp on a certain setting.Are IRs just foe cam/mic combo Sims or do they do IRs for amp heads?
There are definitely a few. Amplitube and Tonex are both on iOS, you can try them both for free. Tonex sounds great but has a pretty mediocre interface.Im a complete noob when it comes to all these digital routes everyone is taking nowadays so I was wondering if I could ask for a little elaboration.
The one thing i hated so much about recording in the past was the sheer amount of time i had to spend dialing everything in and wouldve loved being able to start out with something that is nearly there. Ive finally started getting myself into the digital side since im on the road permanently. I use ultimate-guitar.com a lot and have been using the Tonebridge app on my iPad in combination with an iRig HDX since i can use songs i know to grab tones and tinker with them but the sound quality is subpar.
Are there apps available on the iPad that can support IRs? I know id have to check if the iRig is compatible with them, but it would give me a place to start.
