IMPULSE RESPONSE LOADERS

LECAB 2 - NADIR - Mix IR 2

A cabinet simulator is made of 2 things:
- An IR loader, which is a plugin with various options,
- An IR, which is an audio file. This audio file is the sound print of the gear you wish to emulate. The IR is what will allow you to simulate the sound of the chosen cabinet, so its quality is essential if you want a good result. In fact, your cabinet simulator is merely an IR loader. Then you choose what type of cabinet you want to emulate.

How to use it?
That's simple. You pick one of the plugins below, for example LeCab 2, then you place it after your amplifier simulator, and you load an IR in it.

The cabinet simulators you can download below are provided without any IRs, so you have to find or buy them and load them in your cab simulator.
You may download free IRs, below, find some on the Internet (free or not), or make them yourself...

LECAB 2

LeCab 2
LeCab 2
LePou gives us access to no less than 6 IR slots simultaneously! For each one of them, you can invert the phase if needed, set the delay time, configure a lowpass and a highpass filter, and of course you can set the pan and volume. You can also solo each slot, link the loaded IRs of 2 slots (but other controls remain independant). You can also control the latency. The lower it is, the more CPU-consuming it becomes and vice-versa. Last but not least, the graphic interface is nice and clean!

But why would I use 6 cabs at the same time?
Well, with only one guitar take, you can get six differents sounds, which allows you to get a bigger sound, or to obtain sounds that are impossible to achieve with only one cab, by using various IRs, modifying the panning or the other settings... You don't have to use all six available slots, but if you wish to experiment, you can. I usually use two IRs of the same cab but with different microphones, so it will simulate the sound of a real cab recorded with two microphones. And if I want a bigger sound, I can add more IRs. Very convenient.

One nice improvement over the previous version of the plugin, it now remembers the IRs' folders of origin. So you don't need to scratch your head anymore if you don't remember what IR was used when the IR name is not explicit.

NadIR is a free plugin from Ignite Amps. This Italian company makes and sells real guitar amplifiers, and they develop excellent amp simulations (demos on this page). NadIR allows you to load an IR in either available slots and modify the settings as you see fit. You can pick a mono, double mono or stereo signal, set the processing quality depending on your computer ressources, use high-pass and low-pass filters, set the delay and panning of your IRs.

Bravo, c'est clair et intelligent, sans les lieux communs habituels. Mais petite erreur sur la compression, ayant beaucoup travaillé sur le sujet : l'attack et le release commencent dès que le signal franchit le seuil, dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Il n'y a pas de temporisation mais un fade-in pour l'attaque et un fade-out pour le release, plus ou moins lents selon le réglage.

Salut Grebz,
Nickel tes tutos, très très utile. Je suis assez fan des simu de LePou, juste un détail qui me chagrine, tu fournis les presets de tes démos .fxp, mais comment les charger dans les simu ? Je me ramasse une erreur "Metal - HyBrit.fxp This file is not a preset or bank for Poulin_HyBrit_Head_v1_1a." Y aurait-il des versions différentes ? A+ m/

<em>Bonjour,
Apr&egrave;s v&eacute;rification, les presets fxp fonctionnent bien chez moi dans Sonar et dans Reaper, mais je ne dispose pas d'autres s&eacute;quenceurs pour v&eacute;rifier. Je suis en train de r&eacute;aliser des captures d'&eacute;cran de chacun des presets, afin que vous puissiez reproduire les r&eacute;glages, m&ecirc;me sans le fichier de preset.
Vous pouvez acc&eacute;der aux captures d'&eacute;cran avec un lien que j'ajoute en-dessous de chaque preset t&eacute;l&eacute;chargeable.

Bonjour,
En pr&eacute;ambule, je tiens &agrave; vous f&eacute;liciter pour votre site et l&#039;altru&iuml;sme dont vous faites preuve. Merci. Ma question : J&#039;ai t&eacute;l&eacute;charg&eacute; sur votre site, 5ORCERY. J&#039;aimerais savoir (si c&#039;est possible) &agrave; quels styles de morceaux correspondent chacun des presets de ce plugin. N&#039;&eacute;tant pas &quot;un chat&quot; dans la MAO, je les utilise &agrave; l&#039;intuition et quand m&ecirc;me un peu &agrave; l&#039;&eacute;coute, mais c&#039;est vraiment empirique. Si vous pouviez me guider je vous en serais tr&egrave;s reconnaissant.
Merci d&#039;avance.
Cordialement.

Another free DAW to add is <a href="http://lmms.sourceforge.net/home.php" target="_blank">LMMS</a>. I use the Windows version.

Autre séquenceur gratuit, <a href="http://lmms.sourceforge.net/home.php" target="_blank">LMMS</a>. J'utilise la version Windows.

<em>Thanks for the tip, but LMMS doesn't allow for audio recording. You can process audio that you import into it (audio recorded through another recording software of your choice, or any audio files you have at your disposal), but it's too big a limitation for me to consider presenting it.

It is a major drawback in my opinion, for all the people who want to record vocals or instruments through a microphone, or by plugging it directly.

Of course, for anyone who only wants to use virtual instruments or existing audio files, LMMS will be an option. And it's free, as you mentioned.

Among great free software that compete with commercial software, you have GIMP (vs Photoshop), Blender (vs 3D Studio and Maya), Open Office and Libre Office (vs Microsoft Office), but I'm still waiting for a complete free D.A.W. that could rival with Sonar, Cubase or ProTools and such...

Reaper is what comes closest to that dream as it can be used for free without limitations, but it's not a freeware and you are supposed to pay for it if you use it.

Traduction :
Merci du tuyau, mais LMMS ne permet pas d'enregistrer de l'audio. On peut traiter de l'audio que l'on importe (enregistré avec un autre logiciel d'enregistrement de son choix, ou tout fichier audio à disposition), mais c'est une limitation trop important pour que j'envisage d'en faire une présentation.

C'est un inconvénient rédhibitoire à mes yeux pour tous ceux qui souhaitent enregistrer des voix ou des instruments via un micro ou en branchement direct.

Bien sûr, pour ceux qui se contentent d'utiliser des instruments virtuels ou des fichiers audio existants, LMMS est un choix possible. Et gratuit, comme vous l'avez dit.

Parmi les excellents logiciels gratuits susceptibles de rivaliser avec des logiciels payants, il y a GIMP (vs Photoshop), Blender (vs 3D Studio et Maya), Open Office et Libre Office (vs Microsoft Office), mais j'attends toujours l'arrivée d'un séquenceur gratuit capable de rivaliser avec Sonar, Cubase, ProTools et leurs équivalents...

Reaper est ce qui s'approche le plus de ce rêve puisqu'il est utilisable gratuitement sans limitations, mais ce n'est pas un logiciel gratuit pour autant et vous êtes censé le payer si vous vous en servez.
