AE's Nebula thread (samples, tests, etc)

[Ermz]

One of the latest ones Metaltastic has done is here: http://drop.io/download/public/x2d4...-f33f-f69a2a0db5c6/nebula_recto_org_clean.zip

I hope it's of use to you. Maybe he can chip in with some extra details and the older versions he made.

Ok thank you, but i meant not the Nebula program but the traditional impulse response that you are using to compare the guitars file. Where can i find an impulse respose.wav or whatever of the same cabinet that you have sampled with nebula?

 

[Metaltastic]

Ok, here's everything I've made so far

10 Kernel Sample of the Recto Orange Channel + Impulse of the same setup

3 Kernel Samples of the Recto Orange and Red channels (1 each, 2 total)

Sample of the Recto Orange channel using the clean cab template you (Francesco) posted a few days ago

Ok thank you very much. I will test them.

here you go:

includes:
.n2p and .n2v
.wav

This is AeternusEternus' i5 dustcap Mesa 412FB emulation.

Was this what you were looking for?

 

[noarin]

beat me to it

 

[Ermz]

^ Nice one. AE's set is very well structured and documented.

 

[Acusticaudio.net]

Thank you Noarin, i'm downloading it right now. I will use it to test and maybe undestand the reason of the fuzz so as to try to eliminate it.

 

[Metaltastic]

Harumph - well I like my impulse more than that Mesa 4x12 i5 impulse (also, Aeturnus, there's a wicked fizz trail on that impulse; were you using pink/white noise as your test tone? I found a sine sweep was much better because it didn't have that noise, whereas impulses I made with pink/white noise did)

 

[Ermz]

Oh I wasn't commenting on their sound quality. None of his ones are for me at all, but the way he's documented the process and laid it all out is quite commendable.

 

[noarin]

^ agreed

 

[Acusticaudio.net]

Ok guys, this was very very useful. Maybe i understand the reason of the fuzz! Stay tuned!

Haha, can't wait.

If you get this straight I'll make sure I'll buy you a beer or two once I'm down in Italy again

 

[Ermz]

Woohoo! Good luck Francesco.

First bit of good news for me all day...

Wouldn't it be funny if our 'fuzz' were to be the cause for the entire soundbank of Nebula suddenly increasing in quality across the board?

 

[BrettT]

I find the absence of low/low-mid content in the Nebula impulses to be just as bad an issue, if not worse, than the high-end fizziness.

Haha, someone's having delusions of grandeur

 

[blackbird]

Woohoo! waiting for the improvement...

 

[Ermz]

That's a fair point, though I think it's one best explored with direct real cabinet vs nebula shoot-outs. Is it a case of impulses adding too much, nebula taking away too much, or nebula representing them just right?

I know the issue with impulses is perpetual dullness. If you brighten them, they sound sterile and grindy. If Nebula's fizz can be killed and the highs are revealed to be somewhat 'softer' sounding, then we're onto something.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, I agree with the dullness of impulses, I find they're often a bit "stuffier" sounding than the real deal

 

[abyssofdreams]

haha, are you starting to agree with us, marcus?
