Recabinet 1.0 has been released today, a massive collection of high quality impulse responses of various guitar cabinets with multiple mics in various positions. This is gear towards anyone producing rock/hard-rock/metal etc. and allow you to record direct (through your favorite virtual guitar amp or through the preamp section of your favorite real amp) then have a huge array of cabinet choices a few clicks away. This is reamping in-the-box.
Here’s a sample of Recabinet (Ghandi” 6L6 57 cap impulse) on some direct guitars in a mix.
Recabinet 1.0 is only $39.99 USD (until the new year) and is a total bargain considering how much time and money (not to mention Volume) it would take to approach what’s available in this library.
There is a demo with 32 impulses available.
