ive been playing metal guitar for 18 years, ive just recently heard of impulse responses. ive heard very little about it, youre pretty much the person ive heard actually explain it. this video is really helpful because i have no idea of how to actually use IRs
I've heard about the IR thing only some 6-7 months ago and I was recording at home since it was possible with better PCs. You learn every day, even though I play for almost 30 years.
God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen! God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen! God bless you, I will keep you in my prayers!
Speaking as an old nube this is so helpful . The videos on other channels computer stuff is mostly gibberish. My last project was 12yrs ago on a Tascam 688 tape machine. Please keep up the good work. And old hands thanks for all the help I have personally received from all you guys. THANKS !!!! Bite Me Glenn
You can use an impulse response and amp sim to just jam on your guitar too instead of playing out loud through an amp. It's not just for recording and mixing.
@@matttaylor1449 I agree. free simulators, ir's, DAW's and VST's make the at home practice amp almost obsolete so long as you have a computer. better off buying a cheap used interface than a small amp!
@@jasonbone5121 It goes both ways, I guess. If you don't have a computer and have a practice amp, then just keep the amp and...live without a computer I guess. But if you already have a computer and an audio interface, there is no need to buy a practice amp.
@@hazrod13 I am still not getting what is the difference between all those kinds of microphones in IR software. Condensed this/that, active, etc... I hear the sound difference but I'd like to know the geek-i stuff behind the names and why is "XY" mic better for "Z" job, etc..
I have been watching your content for a long time, and love the detail you go into. I am finding the recent ‘beginner/noob’ videos incredibly helpful and can now start diving into the world of IRs. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.
I've been amping for over 20 years and have heard of amp IR's always but love the capturing the speakers essence in the execution. Gotta be honest, will continue to mic my recordings but for those lower budget projects, I'll be sure to propose the "more conventional" option which actually sounds pretty d@mn good! Thanks bud.
Nice introduction to working with IR’s. I don’t have a dedicated studio space, and have neighbours, so a Torpedo Captor and IR’s means I still record music. 🤘
Free amp sims and impulses are SOOOO great for those of us who want to get into guitar, but don't have an even remotely good budget. I learned on them, and they're still a fantastic writing tool. If I can recommend what I like - Vadim Taranov's JCM800 amp sim, coupled with a TSE 808 overdrive, going into the Ownhammer Marshall Lynchback. For a grand total of 25 bucks, it's killer. And the Lepou Legion is a great substitute for the JCM sim to save even more money. Thanks for teaching me about this stuff years ago, Glenn!
Hey this basic level shit is also helpful for many of us self-taught guys who may have not gotten the "memo" on some thing you probably learn the first semester at a school! Thanks man!
Glenn thank you so much for this man, seriously. The sound you got after the EQ is so close to the tone I usually get to with Pulse. This is the best thing ever!
Yea, you created the best tone ever. I get my tone to sound just like this all the time. What a coincidence. It is the best tone ever and you are so awesome and great for creating it. I guess we would have to assume that anybody else who may have achieved that tone is amazing also. 😏
Cool thing for those who didn't start out yet with IRs. Here's another suggestion that would fit into the concept: What is a good DI track? Maybe a little comparison between good / bad, with DI-Box and without, different pickups DIs... Dry tracks will give a lot clearer picture than already distorted tones.
Thank you! Great tutorial. There were so many videos that had outdated links or trials. This was so easy to follow and my amp VST's sound great! They're no longer muddy and awful sounding. Saved me a lot of headache.
Hi Glenn long time viewer of the show! I have started working with local bands in my area thanks to inspiration from yourself. However, the warnings you have said in past videos about musicians in the studio have all come true... I can't believe it and can only laugh about it. Much love bro!
Gr8 Glenn! I loved the way you opened the ssl eq and did a little touch on the moment! I see some online mixing courses with well known mixers and all they are doing is A-B-ing through the chain and going "I did that cus of that and to achieve that" and you end up learning nothing because, what you have to learn is how to think, the systems of work for these things. There is a lot more value in seeing how to do a quick rough mix then reverse engineering an award winning mix (a bit off topic but this simple think makes you a good teacher). Thanks!
I've seen Ola in one of his vids, making his IR from the setup he used and I must tell - it is a freaking ingenious thing! You record your rack's setup and it goes through all the frequencies and voila! You have your IR! It's amazing how today's tech is so user friendly! I remember back in the early 90s, Ms-DOS "Fast Tracker 2" was brilliant, but knowing now what I know - this technology is awesome! @Glenn - Keep these 'noob' videos up! Judging by the comment section, even us older musicians NEED this kind of infos, everyone can learn something new every day.
The principle was known for ages, but convolution tends to be very heavy in terms of computation, so it wasn't feasible to use it as broadly as we can today.
, Kemper started it all over 10 years ago , I bought mine when they first came out and it is still working great , I love my diezel Marshalls and mesa with different speakers because you will play different through a amp ,I do working with feedback as well as harmonics ,the interaction between the speaker amp on the guitar and how close you get to the speaker to get the tones you want ,
It's amazing what we can do these days. I've always been a bit of a gear head, and everybody used to hate that I used BOSS pedals. I never used amp sims on my GT boards because I didn't like them. Fact is, in the 90s, digital sucked. Whomever was the first person to think of using IRs for guitar recording deserves lifetime tickets to any rock show anywhere ever. Engineers have been using them for convolution reverbs for years. Why not guitars. This is the 21st Century man. Tube amps are awesome, but being a snob about them these days is not going to fill your toolbelt or help you make great records.
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!
THIS IS AWESOME! I downloaded the Pulse and the v30, and it sounds amazing. I can record without having to painingly do mic positioning that never sounds right on my small cheap amp. now I can get heavy tones easy.
Glenn my man you are awesome! I was searching high and low on your channel for a video just like this and I FINALLY FOUND IT! Thank you so much, I'm glad that you showed how to set it up in Reaper, as that is what I am now using, and it is AMAZING! Edit: Love the free Revv V30 impulse response! You're the man Glenn!
Putrid Abomination // Over 300k subscribers, I can only imagine he’d have a great turnout. It’d be nice to rent a large studio for it but I don’t think it’d be realistic economically-speaking. But something like a Q&A, possibly drinks, and a 30-45 minute talk. 🤷🏻♂️
Wow great video Glen. i Wasn't expecting too much as using ir's is insanely simple, but you delivered a ton of great info on mixing metal guitars in here too! thanks for another helpful video!
Hi Glenn, I want to say thanx so much for making this one and for explaining everything on a basic level so a guy like me can understand it!! Also have to say I LOVE Studio One, thanx again sir!
If anyone is still watching this today, setting your Amp and Cab sims routing to Stereo or Dual Mono on your Guitar Bus will all you to use just two VSTs (Amp/Cab) for all the guitars in that bus. This saves a lot of time because if you need to make an on-the-fly change, you can just go to the bus VST and it will apply to all the tracks in there.
Yesterday I used the Ignite Emissary and your V30 Fredman IR and played a piano VST (Native Instruments - The Giant) through that. Got some beasty tones!
@@SpectreSoundStudios Yes. I was pretty suprised too. I'm mainly a sound designer (and sometimes EDM producer) and was looking for some dark distorted tones for cinemtic ambiences. The lower keys of the piano together with the amp sim and IR combo did the trick and the higher keys gave a pretty usable solo tone!
3:13 Glenn, x86 vs x64 depends on your daw rather than operating system, you can install old Cubase 5 (32bit) on Win 10 which is 64bit and it wouldn't load 64bit plugins. Other than that, killer tutorial \m/
Good point, I think it's just the implication that typically you'd be running x64 software on an x64 version of the operating system - of course there are exceptions as I know some people still use 32bit DAWs due to older plugins they use but which aren't available as 64bit.
I kid you not... Picked this up from another group. I couldn't help but read it in Glenn's voice....lol "If this post isn't allowed, I apologize. Didn't see anything against it in the rules. I'm looking to hire the right person to mix and master my hard and punchy rock song. I have a $150 budget on this one. My ideal candidate has lots of experience mixing and mastering hard rock, layered guitars, vocal harmonies, and has worked for more than a handful of clients. If interested, please leave a link where I can stream your portfolio. Release date is 3/1, so ideally I'd like to have a finished product by 2/21. I'm also in talks with someone outside the group, but I'm not sure he's the best fit."
I literally just did this last night. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I usually just use the cabs loaded in my Eleven Rack. Side note, if you run the Eleven Rack 4 cable method, you can reamp a live guitar amp through the Eleven Rack cabs. They sound really good actually. I did a video on it on my channel.
Holy FUCK, so many amazing things to pick up from this video, and I’m now going to download all of these amazing VSTs. Thanks again Glenn, you have made my bedroom heavy psyche/space rock project sound way fucking better time and time again. 🍻🤘🏼
Just downloaded pulse. My fucking word, its made the guitars sound awesome. As a bassist, It's a life saver for laying down demos as I just have a few bass rigs. I havent got an actual guitar rig.
Side note on the bit size of the plugin - the x86 version can be useful if you're running an old DAW (such as Cubase 5) that doesn't yet support 64-bit, nor 64-bit plugin bridging.
I have to say, Audio applications and VST plugins are probably the greatest offenders of all applications I've ever worked with or had to install for people when it comes to being pigheaded about where they want to be installed, even in cases where that locations utterly excludes them from ever functioning. Like really. It's almost like everyone in the music industry thinks they know better than everyone else.
Hey Glen is a line 6 spider IV 15 amp better for rock/metal or is a acoustic G10 amp better for rock/metal? (Btw those are the only gutiar amps I have at the moment)
Thanks glenn!! This was very informative! Even for a guy who is sum what versed in ir's this was a perfect refresher coarse! Keep it up! You help me keep going bro! I'm jelly your down there w Mr.Marvelous! Shake his hand and tell him hackers says cheers, for me! Lol ps. When you gonna do a live chat. I saw 66samus do a 2 hours live chat. And it was hilarious! Can't wait til you do a few!!
but I am looking forward to buying the impulse cab by Kemper, great show for getting the best out of the tec I have to check out pulse ,in the past was not possible to get a guitar head that can have 100 tones in it , with computer 1000-but remember it is not the amount of the ir , it is the quality , great channel staying on top of the latest tec and how to use it is the key that makes this channel great there like warren hunt , I only wish I had the stuff you have today when I was growing up, we just had a record player and our ears
Thanks Glenn. I love my Lancaster Audio IRs! I've been using Pulse with Waves GTR (cab bypassed) for a bit. Also, don't know if it got mentioned, but Studio One has its native "Ampire" plug in which you can load up all the IRs fairly easily. I've had good results. As was mentioned down below -- recording IRs -- that would be a great tutorial. : )
These videos will certainly help me out if and when I start recording one day. Can you do a video on the mixing consoles that you prefer? Thank you Glenn 🤘🏻
Make a gear guide: Include your picks for mics, amps, pedals, plug-ins, mixers, interfaces, speakers, etc. at different price points ($1,000). You've got a lot of great gear recommendations on the channel but it would be nice if they could all be put in one regularly-updated document.
HI i just tried to get the free ir your have in the section above but the link to to the page and the download button doesn't work, i guess the offer has expired? cheers
I'd experiment with sending different signals to the impulse response. How would a saw synth sound, or a vocal track, maybe the drum room mic and then blend it with the other mics. It would definitely add some distortion and crunch to anything you send through it and make a unique sound.
Great tutorial - thanks Glenn! I had no idea that Reaper had that multiband compressor built in. Just a quick question, how have you set up Reaper to show what VSTs you have on each track? For me it just shows a single on/off button for each track.
Funny you just post a video about this. I literally spent last weekend figuring this out myself. Only issue I've run into is that these IRs sound pretty shit to me. Very fizzy and a lot of high end artifacts. I wonder if it has something to do with my amps line out. Maybe I'm just too old school and attached to hearing a cab breathe.
Kool stuff. i just recently discovered this pulse thingy from your channel actually heh. never knew it even existed now my making my own custom pulse's
ive been playing metal guitar for 18 years, ive just recently heard of impulse responses. ive heard very little about it, youre pretty much the person ive heard actually explain it. this video is really helpful because i have no idea of how to actually use IRs
I'm rowing the boat.

Yeah I never heard of them until the end of 2017. .
yeah that made me not spend money on any new amplifier .

but I am looking forward to buying the impulse cab by Kemper, great show for getting the best out of the tec I have to check out pulse ,in the past was not possible to get a guitar head that can have 100 tones in it , with computer 1000-but remember it is not the amount of the ir , it is the quality , great channel staying on top of the latest tec and how to use it is the key that makes this channel great there like warren hunt , I only wish I had the stuff you have today when I was growing up, we just had a record player and our ears
Thanks Glenn. I love my Lancaster Audio IRs! I've been using Pulse with Waves GTR (cab bypassed) for a bit. Also, don't know if it got mentioned, but Studio One has its native "Ampire" plug in which you can load up all the IRs fairly easily. I've had good results. As was mentioned down below -- recording IRs -- that would be a great tutorial. : )
Thanks for sharing Glenn!
Literally just yesterday downloaded Pulse and put it into Reaper, seems I did the right thing!
Thanks, exactly what I wanted RIGHT NOW :D - Julian
Thank you very much for that helpful video!
This is a great topic for a video! I learned using free Lepou amps and IR's.
These videos will certainly help me out if and when I start recording one day. Can you do a video on the mixing consoles that you prefer? Thank you Glenn 🤘🏻
Question about monitors, how can you tell if they are “flat”, giving you the “full story”?
@8:25 the "it's that %@#*ing easy" look. LOL
Great video on the basics of Impulses. What about virtual mic placement, how does that work?
"on the 4k, we're gonna boost that up a bit"
*Boosts it into ear destruction territory*
Nice video! Do you use any kind of reactive load at all or just the amp? I know Pete Thorn uses the Suhr reactive load and loves that thing.
Great tutorial Glenn ❤️
Thanks Glenn! Why didn't you use the IR loader built into the PRS Archon instead?
Make a gear guide: Include your picks for mics, amps, pedals, plug-ins, mixers, interfaces, speakers, etc. at different price points ($1,000). You've got a lot of great gear recommendations on the channel but it would be nice if they could all be put in one regularly-updated document.
Got this in my email this morning, great!
Very well explained sir. Thankyou:)
Ok... I'm into mixing for a 2 years now... But I have probably the very basic question... Why do I need VST2 or VST3? What's the difference?
HI i just tried to get the free ir your have in the section above but the link to to the page and the download button doesn't work, i guess the offer has expired? cheers
I'd experiment with sending different signals to the impulse response. How would a saw synth sound, or a vocal track, maybe the drum room mic and then blend it with the other mics. It would definitely add some distortion and crunch to anything you send through it and make a unique sound.
Great tutorial - thanks Glenn! I had no idea that Reaper had that multiband compressor built in.
Just a quick question, how have you set up Reaper to show what VSTs you have on each track? For me it just shows a single on/off button for each track.
Just drag up to expand
@@SpectreSoundStudios Oh wow, can't believe I'd never thought to try that, cheers! Maybe what they say about bassists isn't complete rubbish ;)
You have saved my recordings from sounding flat! IR’s are what we’re missing.
You do want to put it in VST3. Thats what the seller recommends.
holy shit palm mute farts have been the bane of my existence forever.
Funny you just post a video about this. I literally spent last weekend figuring this out myself. Only issue I've run into is that these IRs sound pretty shit to me. Very fizzy and a lot of high end artifacts. I wonder if it has something to do with my amps line out. Maybe I'm just too old school and attached to hearing a cab breathe.
I actually just did an A & B video on your impulse cabs vs your old axe fx II tone match patch you made :p your IR's are amazing
Thanks, man!
@@SpectreSoundStudios Well thank you for making them! Wouldn't have this killer tone without you!
Aren't there steps on the Lancaster Audio website or README file telling you exactly what Glenn just covered here?
Yes... and people still requested a video
@@SpectreSoundStudios As someone who works in college IT, it's honestly not that surprising.
Thanks for the info Glenn 🤘🤘🤘
It's easy when you know how! Thanks Glen!
Great sound! I should record guitar signal from the send of my engl head direct into audio interface and then using ir to have this sound?
Kool stuff. i just recently discovered this pulse thingy from your channel actually heh. never knew it even existed now my making my own custom pulse's
10:44 roar! Sounds like my real set up!!! This shit is crazy!!!
When I try to use pulse in reaper I get "the following effect plugin could not be loaded, effect configuration is preserved" any advise?
Awesome video - thank you :)
This one is going to help me with nighttime practice thank you
