If it's death metal, the scooped sound is the real deal. On your scooped second mix the guitars sound too thin, so to fix that you may add some on 2-3 kHz and cut some on 5-6 kHz. The drums sound wesome. What are they?

Cool! We have an agreement! :-D I love smooth driven sounds. However, to capture a really smooth sound of my MarkIV (through 1960AV cab) I have to play a bit with the mic placement. It doesn't work straight away.

Might be my poor english, but I wouldn't call this "scratchy". It sounds quite smooth in my opinion. But yeah, smoothness to a big extent is a matter of mic placement. Strange dip in the 500 Hz area. Is it post-processing?

Yeah, it's the non-linearities that are missing. Power tube saturation, speaker excursion, air elasticity, etc. They could be "stored" in a impulse response, but cannot be restored by the convolution algorithm, since convolution is linear only. Hence, they corrupt the IR. So, the lower the...

Yes, thats easy. Definitely 2 is the real one.

Mark IV is exceptional amp with total control on every gain/drive stage. Well, probably not totally total since they've done the tone controls with only two center frequency positions (these could have been parametrics, ya know? ha!), but still, pretty much total. Just another thing to add to...

Wow! That's hell of a difference for speakers of the same kind. I can't really say which one sounds better, they are just different. Tough choice.

Yes, it is possible that some impulse responses (IR) have longer latency. When you open an IR wav file with an audio editor you will notice that it consists of peak and tail that fades out. The time-distance between the beginning of the file and the peak is actually the latency of the IR. You...

You may consider Dynaudios as well. Bm5a and Bm6a mk2 are in that price range and deliver excellent performance too.

I've managed to deconvolve some of them. The problem is they are not synchronized, so one has to add silence in the beginning and the end of the sweep files and remove it later from the impulse response file. Which is a bit time consuming. Overall the impulses sound quite bright. I have...

I like Amp2 the most. Very nice smooth compression on the pick attack. I guess this is the Rectifier. My other guess is 5150 is Amp1 and the Krank is Amp3.

You can as well play a bit your guitar (few seconds) recording two tracks simultaneously: one direct out of the amps preamp (fx loop send) and second the miced cab. Then add 100 ms silence at the end of the miced track and deconvolve them using voxengo deconvolver. This technique is...

^^^Yes, it's true that T75s sound quite different depending on the mic position, but that as well is an advantage, because you can access more different tones with a single speaker. ^As for the 7k-10k range you may have less than 5% of the signal, but that already changes quite a lot in a...

What exactly you don't like about the T75s? I guess it depends as well on the voicing of your amp, but to me they have really sweet character. They have more pronounced timbre compared to V30s which I find sounding more "neutral". A lot more "bite" in the 7k-10k range as well. Check the...
