I've never Done IR's with freq sweep.
For me personally, it doesn't make much sense. When you run sweep signal through cab, cabinet and speakers reacts differently than when you actually play YOUR guitar through YOUR amp and cabinet.
In simple terms, with sweeps you run one frequency at each particular moment, (30hz, 31, 32,33....20000hz)
When I do it my way, I hit my cab with whole frequency spectrum at once, same way as I would in real life, if I actually record cab in studio.
Simple example.
When crank up my amp LOUD, I get less highs and more bass in speakers, I can easily mimic that behaviour in my IR just by recording my cab loud and use that signal as source file for IR. If I run sweeps I have no way to make cab behave same way as if behaves together with guitar and amp.
My IR are still static shots of cabinet and mic together, but at least, all small idiosyncrasies like feedback between output transformer and cab, loudness of cabinet, resonances that might happen at particular volume, guitar used, all of that, in some way is taken in to account and part of the my IR equation.
With sweeps method there is no way to mimic all of that, so you just make more approximations, therefore IR might end up sound less real. |
