No, the white noise is sent through the cab and recorded to measure the EQ curve of the cab/speaker/mic. The resulting .wav file (the IR) is a snapshot of this recording chain.
This is a good method to start with, since it's very easy, though I would recommend moving on to a sine sweep and deconvolver. It's an extra step, but it does provide better results in both frequency capture and reducing noise, and it's definitely the way to go for capturing reverb (like a spring tank or digital unit)
Bro, I love your channel, and I usually shop for new stuff on Sweetwater, but I'll make sure I check zzsounds for everything from now on to help you help me with videos like this. This was an awesome tutorial on how to capture your own IRs. However, in the beginning of the video when you are explaining what you'd need, you mentioned we'd need a solid-state preamp. What is the purpose of the solid state preamp in this process? What other home recording processes is it good for? Also, do you have any recommendations for said preamps?
I have some stupid questions what happens if you use different "color" noise like pink or lol brown. Also can you use effects like limiters or compression or even chorus or flangers?
Thank you for providing the white noise and video!
Still black magic to me. It's just playing guitar thru a file of white noise?

@@justsomerandomguyman Yea I know but still, you're just sending audio information thru a wav file.
@@dtrmnts You're essentially sending the guitar amp signal through a high resolution EQ curve.
Kyle is awesome glad he helped out, just purchased these irs and a couple other things thanks for the information this is highly useful
The Freidman 2 Ir is sick
yeah the fredman ones are my favorite at the moment!

Probably by far the simplest way I've seen IR's made yet!
Buzz! didn't expect to see you here lol

Thank you that means a lot! So I accidentally said pre amp but meant power amp , I use a crown xls1000!
@@dravennoirethanks for clarifying dude and I’m tracking now 🤘🏼
Nice job man! Gonna try this 🤘🤘
Hell yeah! Thanks for this!

I’ve heard teal is good , I don’t think any time based fx will work sadly
@dravennoire but what about limiters and compression? I feel like a super squashed ir would sound pretty cool 😎
It's so funny cause Ola englund ir sounds really good except it's really bass heavy im gona crop it an see if it fixes it
alternativly just use an wq will be way easier to get the sound u want
@adder2 an eq you mean? And I actually just blended with another ir. I actually like super bassy guitars though so it worked out good for me
You should have a ir contest
