    Accurate IR's for Load Boxes and Amp Sims

    So since the start of the global pandemic, I put my spare time into making some big IR libraries. The first thing I wanted to get right was accuracy for a range of amplifiers, load boxes and modellers. Its quite a deep and difficult thing to get right as cabinets and power amps interact by...

    Suhr Reactive Load vs React IR vs Real Cabinets as a load

    So I bought a React IR from St Rock last year, and recently bought a Suhr Reactive Load to compare. I figured I'd compare side by side, acting both as a load box, but also as a DI when using an external cab. I was actually quite surprised how different they sound when being used just as a DI -...

    New Andy Sneap Interview in Tape Op July 2021

    Well worth a read, it’s refreshing to see an interviewer who really knows their stuff. Really cool to hear Andy’s take on things in 2021 and it kind of puts things into perspective how much things have changed and moved on in the last 20 years

    Influence of guitar cabinet construction (Plywood vs MDF back)

    Saw Johan uploaded this recently and it was really interesting. Exact same cab but one with the older style plywood back and the other with the more common mdf back. I've really been appreciating how different the same speakers can sound in different cabinets (and also how that'll load the amp...

    I've seen this forum die several times.....

    I'm sure like many others, I hold a nostalgic value for this forum. Its so amazing to see 15 years or so on how many people from here are doing so well now. Its downfall unfortunately has been gradual and unrelenting. Gotta say though, I really don't like how YouTube'rs who've contributed very...

    Production vs Mixing

    So this has been something that on my mind quite a bit recently and I thought it could be cool to discuss... (a The past 2 years or so has seen me working on a lot more pop music and other genres than what I was doing before. I learnt much of what I know from this forum in the same way as many...

    Anyone using TIDAL?

    So I've been using Apple Music for quite a while and have been on and off with Spotify Premium subs whenever there was good deals on. Figured I'd give TIDAL a go and in my ignorance I'd kind of forgotten how much better uncompressed audio sounds to what spotify/apple are putting out. Without...

    DISCUSSION: Is there too much of a focus on mixing in 2016?

    Just something I've been thinking about recently. I subscribe to a number of great educational resources online - largely offering access to workflow's of top level producers and mixers that was never previously available. It seems a growing trend online (be it on...

    Relab LX480 users thread

    so I'm guessing theres a few users of this what with the slate subscription. I'm not sure the relab manual has been properly released yet, but its pretty good at explaining a lot of the parameters and algorithms. the original manual essentially just says "use the presets and adjust accordingly"...
