Ermz, I kinda understand what you're saying, but if the end product sounds good, then who cares if it was using impulses or not?
Reamping guys: I need your help!

Yes I am from Portugal. If people know where Portugal is
I'm going to update my profile.
I agree, but the problem is that the end product doesn't really sound good. I thought the tone I cut using the 6505 would cut it but it fell apart in the mix. I can't EQ impulse tones to have any balls, depth or dimensionality in a mix unless im quad tracking and blending multiple impulses to compensate for their inadequacies. Real cabs make the job a lot easier. You spend less time trying to EQ life IN and more time trying to EQ mud and fizz out. I tend to prefer the latter because it's actually remotely possible!

Here's a slightly different tone before I divulge what I'm using, I want to see if this one impresses more or not.

Thanks man, downloading for reference, cuz I find I just keep putting in too much mids cuz I only tweak tones by listening to them by themselves while re-amping, and always favor a bit of mid excessiveness, and this is a perfect example of a tone just sitting in the mix perfectly mid-wise IMO!

Ermz, any comment on mines?
They could be louder.

Nah man, it's my cab, I was just saying the project I'm currently working on will be finished in a couple days. No need to pull the cab down though I suppose. I'll just go ahead and run these tomorrow morning while having my cigs on the front porch routine, haha. That way I've got em if you want them.

No problem, the other thread by Marcus has kept me busy and going, lol. I just wanna make sure that if he ever forgets his recto setup he can call me reamping that with a custom impulse.
It's all ok, I still haven't downloaded most files in this thread but waiting to hear what you end up with.

I'm possible going to arrange some time today to do some reamps.
I think that with so many people participating in this it would be wise to establish some rules for your own interest.
One of the rules IMO was to not compress or EQ the mix, if somebody wants to compress the guitar, just do it but not the mix. That could make the guitar seem louder/better but it would loose dynamics, so it's an option.
I have heard some samples here that are more compressed/limited than a master should be. What's the point of it?
Just to sound better because it's louder? That defeats the whole purpose of this thread.
So IMO all mixed tracks should be normalized to -0.1DB and not compressed, or you will end with apples and oranges to compare.
