Cool! You can also use the built in reaverb plugin in Reaper. Load the IR file, turn down the dry signal and you are good to go!

Great tones. It came together perfect in the final mix

Wow. I had no idea FX order had an actual impact on the sound.

That, is some good information.

Awesome video. I'll be using this info!!!

As a guitar player, I have acquired many tone options over the years. The amp modelers in my DAWs, AmpliTube, Guitar Rig, EZ Mix amps, S-Gear, Studio Devil, some Boss COSM stuff, Avid Eleven,  Fender Fuse, amps with modeling, Vox ToneLab, Digitech RP pedal, etc.  With all that tone I have, what would getting into IR give me that I don't have?  No kidding,  I feel I already have redundant tone options.

Hey, could you please make a video on why do you need an audio interface or a di-box to record a guitar, and I mean like what are the advantages etc. between this and plugging directly into line input in your pc, and if possible make a comparison. I'm currently plugged directly into the line in on my motherboard and I got a pretty decent tone but I consider buying a usb audio interface, however I couldn't find a concrete info on why this option is better than that etc. Great videos you make, sir =)

I assume that if I'm using a Kemper, that effectively already factors in those (captured-at-the-time) input responses? Or are these IRs still useful?

[michaellandrumguitar]

what do you use on your master bus when you record? exmix?

when i downloaded mercuriall cab i also downloaded an eir folder ...whats that? If its impulse library then how to load it?

[artao]

okay .... i need to watch this a second time. possibly a third
I've got all three of these impulse response loaders, but never understood what they were for or how to use them
SAY!!! Is an impulse response simply an audio file, like a convolution reverb is?
Cuz if so, you could do some REALLY wild stuff by using audio files not meant for impulse response.
I know it makes some crazy cool stuff when you do that with convolution reverb.

SO THAT'S A FUCKING IR. Sorry, it just felt satisfying to know something troubling me for a long time. I'm a newbie in recording with a very simple setup.
