An Introduction to Impulse Responses by Pete Thorn

- čas přidán 24. 01. 2017
- Pete Thorn, gives us a concise introduction to speaker impulse responses - what they are and why they are so incredibly useful in the studio and when performing live.
This is a definite "must watch" if you're new to speaker IRs and looking for a quick and simple intro.
First Pete explains why it's so difficult to get (and recreate) the right tone using physical speakers, cabinets and mic setups. Then he tells us about the benefits of having the sound you want "bottled" into a digital file that you can reuse again and again.
As a professional guitarist with many live tours behind him, Pete understands the realities of setting up for a show in different venues, with different sound systems and different PA guys to work with in each of them.
"Imagine the sound man's delight when he realises you've got this awesome miked up speaker and cabinet sound that was done by a professional engineer in a great recording studio... He doesn't have to go through the bother of miking your amp anymore. There's no bleed into a microphone from any of the other instruments and the sound is super punchy in the PA and it's absolutely consistent from night to night."
You are such a humble guy. Keep Rockin Pete!!
Great tutorial Pete. Thank you so much. You’ve explained this so well. I hope all is well in your world. Blessings.
IR... IR... IR get it now! Cheers Pete, clear & to the point as ever. 💪🎶
Thank you, I've been so confused about all of these pieces, what goes with what, and how I can record my guitar at night in my apartment. I've been listening to your Sunday live streams (which I really enjoy), this will help me to understand the discussions better.
I’m a short period of time I e became addicted to this videos your channel is fire very useful tips and great way to deliver information thank you Sir. 🙏🏻
Thank you Pete for the perfect explanation!
Thanks Pete, you explain really clearly how to use IR’s. Now my wife will be glad too, as I won’t have to crank my amp while recording at home!
Great explanations. Thx Pete!
Excellent video!!! Really good explanations
Thank you Sir! Just steered this old timer into a long overdue direction to learn more about IR's.
Whoa this was finally insightful, thanks a lot!!
great and practical explanation, thank you buddy
This helps a lot! Thanks Pete!
Great intro thanks Pete. Look forward to your next album man.
not okay.. he cant look forward because he's born cross eyed.. honestly guy..
Wow I think I got it now u explain the irs in a friendly understandable way thank u much dig yer vids I just bought the Headrush gigboard
Thanks Pete... Helpful!
Very clear, thank you.
There are many IR products on the market, but I think DYNAX IR has the best sound. As stated in their product description, DYNAX IR is really fast. When using IRs, the pick attack is sometimes delayed, and it is difficult to add picking nuances, but their IR prevents all of that. It's revolutionary!
Amazing thank you!
Thanks Pete!
Traditional tube amp guy... toying with the idea of buying a Kemper (or UA OX). Bought a Strymon Iridium as a half measure & absolutely LOVE IT! As a tube amp guy who hated “modelers”, it was a pretty amazing realization. Don’t think I really need Kemper or OX anymore... the Iridium sounds amazing & simple to operate with my existing pedals.
Thank you!
Pete's the man!
A subject worth learning guys do your own research and then connect the dots.
What a pro!
The first time I heard of impulse responses was in 2011, when I was talking to one of the developers of altiverb, the first convolution reverb. Back then it was rather exclusive. Nowadays you can download an IR in a cheap pedal. How cool is that?
IR Master Class
thank you
Hello, Pete,
thanks for explanations! But just for curiosity it's interesting to know who is pioneered in usage of impulse responses in musical industry? From capturing reverb chambers to guitar cab simulations. The history of IRs technology is interesting
Amazing explanation, thank you. I just have one question please. Does this mean that a simple IR cab emulator like a Two Notes Torpedo Cab M+ or a Hotone Omni IR will not be enough to attenuate the signal from an amp? Do I still need to put a load box before any of these? Thank you
Well, ya couldn't make it any clearer than that Pete ! Since watching your early vids on this stuff I've been working on my Dr Z Max 18 into Cubase Reverence as an IR host. Great results. My load/thru box is passive. I think I understand the resistive/reactive load thing - what's your take? Also, in your DAW do you add verb/delay/mods before or after the IR host?
Thx for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this stuff.
Hello. GreAt vid. What sim cab pedal would you recommend and why? Thank you
Thanks Pete, but I'm having a problem understanding what file to download these IR's into on my computer. I think it would be good to show how you structure your files. Thanks.
Pete and or Celestion. What IR playback do you recommend. Pro Tools and Logic?
Something I don't understand, is the IR, is snapshot of the speaker cab, room ambience, mic position only. Or is it a snapshot of the afore mentioned plus the amp that was driving the cab and any sound processing that was applied to the amp ?
5:08 "...no speakers needed..." Celestion CEO would like a word. Great information btw, thanks.
Speakers or no speakers, with Celestion IRs you can still get great tone!

@@CelestionUK 🔝😂
@petethorne - Did you just instantiate 3 different tracks and then blend them together?
I think the headrush pedalboard also allows loading IR's.
Yes, it does.
Pete what IR do you use?
This is all great,,,,,, where do i get them? do i need to purchase them? what do i need to download ?

You seem to clearly know, what you're talking about. Could you make another video, that explains IRs for people knowing almost nothing in this field?
I understood that you have certain factors, when you record all your sound from only the microphone. But I couldn't get the part with 'all bottled up'. I also could not answer the question 'what is an IR.
Does this help? www.celestionplus.com/faqs/

Wow thx for making that so simple 🙄🙄lol. I don't even know what a load box is :/
prices are kind of high, I looked at the george Lynch models..they sell each GL tone separately.... instead of all of them in one package.
The IRs are available separately or as part of a collection for each speaker, including the Lynchback.
But why, when i put an ir to my bass, it sound a lot quieter then without it
Lugal_ ki_en_000-0001 I was having this issue, but I found that combining it with a cab block on an amp modeler helps with this.
If your IR isn't made with white noise, it's just more color crayon amp amp noise.
(note: I'm not a guitarist) What is the benefit of of running your guitar through an amp, then a load box to record, rather than using a direct line in to the recording interface? Since an impulse response by my understanding would emulate those sounds?
There are sooo many more factors in play that will make your ‘tone’ IR unique, when recording it from the speaker.
It’s a bit similar to when switching on a tube amp & record the IR right away, or wait until the tube has warmed up & record.
Same gear, significant difference!
I’m no guitar player either by the way 😊
To be clear here, the impulse response is not “of the speaker”, it’s really the microphone.
It's recording a sine sweep coming out of that speaker and cab, so it definitely affects it. An impulse response is a mic capturing a speaker, a cabinet and a room
Ben Johnson Sure, but I guess what I was getting at is - the microphone used to record that speaker (or whatever) and the position that it’s in has more of a effect on the overall sound than any other factor, regardless of the room or the speaker.
@@5urg3x Yeah I don't know how you'd order it in terms of greatest effect to least effect, but I'd say mic position is pretty high up there. I think the mic position relative to the speaker matters more than the microphone and speaker themselves
The mic and its position, the cabinet and the room itself all effect the overall tone of the IR, that's undeniable. But given the same set of circumstances (same mic, mic position, cabinet, room, input signal, etc), each speaker will sound different. So to say that the IR is not of the speaker I think short changes the process. Is one individual IR the purest representation of a specific speaker? No (if that's even possible). Is it a close emulation of the real thing, given a specific set of boundary conditions? I would say most definitely.
Does the characteristic of (for example) an SM57 colour the sound of the speaker IR? Yes, absolutely. Just as it does on every recording of physical speakers. The best we know to do is to provide several mic, mic position and cabinet options and let the player decide if the tone "works" for them.
