Okay, there are no real cab comparisons this time. I didn't make any changes to my sampling process apart from trying out two microphones for some offline sampling. I'm not going to do any more cab samples with two microphones for a while, I tried my hand at it, and it's a difficult procedure. So, any 2xi5 cabs here: They're probably not that accurate. They still sound fine, though.
1)
I5, Blue Voodoo power section, Marshall 74 cab with V30s - This son of a bitch has some serious low end to it. I had the presence all the way down for this one, so when I try my hand at it again, I'll fiddle around with it.
2)
I5, 5150 block letter power section, Marshall 74 cab with V30s - I think the presence was all the way down on this one. I forgot to take notes about it
3)
I5, 5150 block letter power section, Marshall 74 cab with V30s, second go - I think I turned presence up on this one. Forgot to take notes again.
4)
Two I5s, 5150 block letter power section, Marshall 74 cab with V30s - The first of my dual I5 attempts. I was trying to get a feel for how phase and offset would work with offline sessions, and it's not impossible, but I'm stabbing in the dark with it. I have to figure out if the offset that I set in NAT is used in offline sampling. Pretty sure it is. Bleh.
5)
I5, 5150 block letter power section, Marshall MG cab with two V30s and two Eminence Legend 125s. Mic'd the 125s. - Yep.
6)
I5, Marshall 9100 power section (both sides, one per cab), Marshall 74 cab with V30s and Marshall MG cab with Legends - I put one mic on each cab and went with it. I used my own power amp here.
---
Ultimately, though, here's what I accomplished: Offline sampling works just as well as online sampling. This means that I can modify waveforms before they hit Nebula. I can cut some low, boost some mids, possibly kill hum, adjust phase, etcetera. I think the 5150 gave off more hum than both the 9100 and the Blue Voodoo, so at this point, I'm more inclined to use the other two.
Someone needs to try these!
