Re: Quality of line out in load boxes (iron man mini 2 & suhr reactive load)

it's it not what he is measuring, mate. it is what he is comparing ;) he's taking the amp line out as reference, and then stacking the load box line out in fabfilter. Flat line only means both measurements are equal. but we are not seeing any of the actual responses. he does measure responses in ...

it's great indeed. it has improved in the last version actually. close to the miracle depending on how busy the track is, but not yet 100% there as the elf is saying.

Re: Quality of line out in load boxes (iron man mini 2 & suhr reactive load)

So it's the amp signal going into the load box and the amp signal coming out? A view of the actual DI connection arrangement wouldn't have gone amiss there. you have the view in 3:25 amp signal coming out of the load box (to the speaker). in parallel, line out from the amp DI'd to the intereface ...

Re: Quality of line out in load boxes (iron man mini 2 & suhr reactive load)

check 2:40 and 3:35. his amp has an actual line out post power amp. the comparison is therefore before and after the load box.

flat line in fabfilter pro Q3 would mean both signals are similar and load box line out is "transparent"

Re: Quality of line out in load boxes (iron man mini 2 & suhr reactive load)

Hi There’s a lot of literature about load boxes impedance curves, and how the accuracy of these compared to a real speaker affects the low frequencies response. The Ironman fits in the not-so-accurate box ;-). Not bad when just attenuating as the amp still “sees” the real speaker, but as 100% load bo ...

Re: Monitors £500 absolute max, a tad less even better

Re: The Pultec rumble

Re: Which DAW and Controller have the best integration?

Pro Tools with Avid surfaces.

Cubase with Avid surfaces (this is what I use).

In the last couple of years integration with Cubase have improved a lot in other surfaces such as Console 1 Fader mkIII. Actually I’m thinking to change my 2 Avid S1 for a Fader mkIII…

Re: Going loud and clean - Hotrod deluxe?

Modelers, IMO they are (finally) close to perfection. FRFR’s… I think FRFR’s have evolved a lot, but right when there’s no need anymore for FRFR. They made sense when modelers were not so flexible routing wise, and you had to use the same output for PA and monitoring. Also, these small, light class D ...

Re: Going loud and clean - Hotrod deluxe?

So #ore-terra, we are not disagreeing here, I prefer to use my old school kit but for a dfx + FRFR system to sound as intended the amp and cab modelling needs to be active in the dfx unit. If you use a guitar amp rather than the FRFR then the modelling should be off for the system to perform as ...

FRFR cabs are not 'the same'. they do not sound like an amp, but like a mic'ed amp. they may be useful, but for devices such as the helix which is capable to disable the cab emulation from one output while keeping it for other outputs (to go to PA), I never understood the use of FRFR. I just don't ...

I think that you only get the coloured scribble strips when using the X-touch with the XR18 or other Behringer/Midas digital mixers. Mine certainly only has monochrome when using with Reaper, despite having the channels colour coded in the DAW. I use a remote script with Cubase that supports the X ...
