Bit of a necrobump, but I have a fairly general question about Recabinet. I've used a lot of different impulses and spend a lot of hours trying different amp sims, and Recabinet sounds substantially different from nearly all other IRs I've ever used. When you compare it to, say, the impulses include with the TSE X50, it's a lot less heavy in the low end, and more "raw" sounding. This isn't a bad thing! But there's a lot of difference there, and I find myself wanting an in-between point, since a lot of popular IRs- catharsis, the TSE X50 impulses, etc.- can sound too scooped and thin, while Recabinet without any processing whatsoever sounds too mid-focused and dark.
tl;dr, what techniques do you guys use to shape Recabinet to get it to sound sharper? I generally wind up using a 57 on or off axis combined with a 121 off axis, blend to taste, and cut around the 300hz area from each using the Recabinet EQ, then use another DAW eq afterward to cut around the same area, maybe 3-4 db, and add 1-3 db in the "djent zone" near 1200-1500hz. Sometimes I also boost the highs to make the guitars stand out more, which is what I find is where Recabinet differs most substantially from other IRs. On the amp, I find myself boosting the bass more than I normally would.
I'll probably update this post later today with some quick dropbox mp3s to show what I mean if it's unclear.
