Impulse response vs. a real mic'd cab comparison

[Salvation 13]

I did this real quick inspired by a thread I saw on another forum.´

Remember, the idea was to get the impulse one to sound as close as I could to an unaltered mic'd track that has a qenuine room sound. Not necessarily a good, produced sounding tone.

The impulse is made of the same cab, mics are the same as well as the miking position.

Can you tell which is which? The impulse one has extensive post processing on it and the real one only a slight hipass.

That SSSSSHHHHHHH in the second clip is hard to miss.

The same results here as well I see.

The first one is the impulse, second is the real cab.

Humm...bad listeners...
Miked sounds infinitely better than the impulshit one.
This two takes don't sound close in any way.
Impulshits almost never sound close to the real deal.

The nasal, fizzy one is the real amp.

I'd say that 1st sound is an impulse, and 2nd sound is the real cabinet.

soon I will test taking impulses from my homemade cabinets to see if they match my actual tone....

Where is this thread in wich there was a comparison between a real mic´d cab and the impulse of the same cab-mic-position? Anybody remember that?

You're reading it right now.

No idea though on the thread you're talking about.

My old comparison http://malefice.fatal.ru/sound/IR_test.rar
Miced combo vs impulses (different ways of impulse obtaining, pulse technique and different modes of Voxengo Deconvolver).
Sorry, samples are in WavPack format.

These threads should include a poll asking which one people liked more (and not telling which is which, of course)
