Using an isolation cab: What is a common standard of impulse I should use?

[thefyn]

For metal?

I will be recording on a Splawn 2x12 with WGS Reaper speakers. This will be mic'd in an isolation cab so it will be dead sounding.

The 2x12 will be enclosed and it sounds great but dry and I need to add some room ambience.

I have the Waves plug in for impulses but have never used it before.

Any advice would be great as I am new to impulses.

Including how to use impulse "x" via the Waves plugin.

I don't think there's a standard "metal reverb" impulse. Most of the time when impulses are used on guitar, it's for cab sims. If you want some impulse reverb, just see what impulses you can find and use what sounds good to you.

They didn't ban you yet?

Anyway, are you sure your problem is with room ambience?

@thefyn

Or better yet, cram a mic up your ass and make an IR of your rectum! I'm sure you could sell 'em to death metal bands like BOWEL

 

[beyond dead]

i wont sell them, but i`ll usem for my own br00tal t0nez.

don't forget you also need to fire the starter pistol up there too.

I recommend Earthworks mics for anal probing. Second choice is RE20.

id that because of the size of the re20? i`m glad you care about my rectum so much.

if i went to jail, i could hoop a macbook, mbox, key rig 94 and sm57 and be right at home

Lol. At least the thread got bumped.

I tried some waves tweaked impulses on some test guitar tracks and here is the result.

It is standard tuned thrash:
