All of us, the old guys, getting together to watch this awesome fella show us what we have no clue about: to get a descent sound out of our guitars and gears... I guess we all need Ola’s teachings to record what we still can do in the guitar so, when the time comes and we can’t play the same way anymore, we’ll have the opportunity to show our descendants what grandpa or grand-grand-grandpa could do in the six string (or seven string in my case hahaha). Thanks so much, Ola, and I don’t know about you guys, but I feel blessed to be able to share these feelings and thoughts with others in the same learning path as mines, so thanks to you as well. (Just to be clear, I’m not thaaat old, but I have a f*cking disease that is tearing my strength and movement apart, so I really need to hurry up 😄)
I mean I came for the free stuff, but I left having learned how to make my own free stuff. That's like teaching a man to fish or whatever right? Excellent work Ola The Informer.
Finally. Somebody who can explain the dark arts in a simple way. Could you please explain using a "bus" in a future episode, I see it all the time but understanding it is a pain in backside. Thank you Ola.
A bus is basicly just a sum of 2 or more tracks. for instance, you record guitar with 3 mics. after processing the tracks seperate you then send all of them into a stereo track. that stereo track has now become a bus.
Yes.. Like in cubase.. I am using reaper but I understand cubase. I am trying to understand the purpose of recording and then routing the signal to another bus. Everything I am recording is plug in based such as bias and ez drummer so maybe don't actually need to know. I just see a lot of people use a bus but I don't see the benefits or understand the benefits of using one.
@@tomsvinylsessions a use i would think of with ez drummer is compression. for instance, route all of the tom's to a bus and compress them together, route kick and snare to a bus and also compress them. then take the room and all of the overhead mics and compress them on a bus and take the output off all of those and route them again to a bus. you can use different compressions settings and side chaining to create lots of cool effects or "movement" in the sound. another use is saturation. routing kick and bass to a bus and adding a saturation plugin will have a different result as running the same plugin on the kick and bass seperate.
I love Ola but I'm not always crazy about his guitar tones so I didn't think the IR was gonna be all that beneficial to me. Turns out it sounds great, especially paired with my Brahm V30 IRs or my VHT Fatbottom IRs. Thanks, Ola! I will never doubt you again.
Great video! Just wanted to point out that this IR shoot method will have power amp color baked in the IR meaning that using this IR with something like the Fortin Nameless will not give you realistic results but you'll have an unnaturally scooped sound. For a more neutral response you want to use a flat solid state power amp or for the best results you want to use a tube amp but remove the power amp color from the IR. :)
What if you want the tone of the power amp section? Are you saying that IRs aren’t really meant to do that? They’re only good for the cabinet, mic, and mic placement? I ask because I didn’t think IR-based cab emulation was for me, but if they can also capture, say, my KT-88 tubes in the power amp section of my THD head and accurately reflect the difference of what it sounds like when I put in 6L6STR tubes, then this is actually exactly what I need.
Just getting into music production. (What an arduous journey). I'm a big metal guy but also really into industrial music. I learned about IRs from learning to use an SVZ loader with guitar riffs and effects (preamp, amp simulator and an impulse loader). It's crazy how powerful computers/DAWs are these days, even on a budget. Thanks for the great video! \m/ PS - IRs are very small! That surprises me the most.
Hi Ola, this is Yiannis, your friend from Greece. You are the best guy on the net. I love your comedy skills and work ethic behind all that you present to the world. That planet waves cable, I went the other day and got myself one. Only by looking at it pluged into the soundcard, it makes my day. And this video, is not only eye-opening, it is an actual Revelation about the IR world. Thank you.
@@nebularvoid4669 i still dont understand how to make it work, i use it in the gojira thing, disabled the main amp, enabled some pedals, added the IR and it sounds muddy af ive got no idea what im doing wrong lul
Thank you so much for this video! It's been very hard to do guitar recordings in my apartment as I have such a limited window of time to be able to record my amp at a suitable volume. And honestly I had no idea how to make an cab impulse. Please keep these coming! I'm so excited to create my own impulse!
Just a heads up - by pluging into the fx loop Ola bypassed the preamp section of his Satan. What you're actually hearing is the power amp section, cab and mic.
Very informative Ola ! thank you. I had no idea why the switch on the back of my hughes and kettner had this weird full range disgusting overdrive sound, and it was simply for driving the signal through other impulse responses in my DAW or outboard gear. Thank you.
Watching this 5 years after posting and I’m getting all nostalgic! Still going strong Ola we need the Randal satan on the channel again with all the new gear guitars etc and the 2024 Ola
Ola, great explanation and demo! I am wondering why you chose to use the Effects loop input rather than your main input on the Randall for your IR insert point... does this not remove your amplifier's preamp stage from the IR?
If you want to use the tube emulation on the Two Notes Wall of Sound plugin, you will need a studio reference amplifier in the 300 to 500 watt category. The Two Notes BlendIr free program does this IR creating and allows you to blend up to 8 different Impulse Responses together.
Another video I watched suggested skipping your guitar amp altogether and using a colorless solid state power amp connected to your cab, so you only record the response of the cab and mic and don’t end up with the power amp color in your IR.
Yeah, that's not a misleading name for this particular IR whatsoever! I mean with the mic placement being within less than a couple inches in proximity from the cabinet's speaker cone, it'll be guaranteed to DIRECTLY capture ALL kinds of various room resonances, reflections, and ambiance produced by the super close mic'ed cabinet speakers! Pseudo-science such as Physics is for the birds anyway!
Thanks for the IR, Ola. However, there is about 1200 samples of zeros at the start, which leads to about 27ms extra latency and probably some comb filtering when combined with another IR. An easy fix is deleting the zeros in any audio editing software. Also there are a lot of zeros at the end, which could slow down IR loaders.
Been watching for a long time and really just started with IR's. Going to give this a shot to give some other taste then what i currently have a pre-loaded.
Running my real amp into an IR dramatically improved my guitar sound. I wish I had done it years earlier and never even messed with amp sims. Then...you will figure out that you can use all kinds of files and get crazy sounds. Try a crash sample!
Nice! I just recently got into using an audio interface and Bias & Amp FX Pro, so this will give me something to learn and experiment with. Thanks, Santa Ola!
DUDE!!!! I'm so excited to do this with my rig!! I've been wanting to get my sound without trial-and-error from amp sims... FINALLY, I can get exactly what I need! Thank you so much!
VERY nice Ola! I have had a test tone generator for over 20 years! Used for testing speakers for IT systems and displays with built in sound! It will do timed sweeps!
Hi. Can you please do a video on re-amping guitar tracks, and how to use a re-amp box (especially if your interface doesn’t have an appropriate output)? Looking forward to more of this series. Thanks.
Hi Ola, Can you perhaps make a video on how to get an awesome Metal tone with the Line6 Pod x3 or Pod x3 Live? the Pedal might perhaps suck but I know you can get an awesome tone from it!
Muchas gracias Ola!! se extrañaba esa seccion donde dabas consejos de home recording" y muchas gracias por el IR HESU lo buscaba ya que aca en donde vivo no se consigue . saludos desde Argentina!!
This was helpful! I thought, I knew what IRs are.. not quite. Thx, man. One (maybe stupid) question besides that: can I use the DI of let's say headrush pedalboard or hx stomp for other signals too, like mic, keyboards,... Can't find any answer to that.
What a great little broadcast. Thank you mate! Hope you had a good Christmas thing. I am looking forward to seeing how it sounds with a blackstar Metal LT pedal. Animated series next?
So this is mi question: what is the difference between amp profiling and using an IR? Is there a version of IR where only the cabinets or only the amps are captured? Isn’t that overusing amps, when you use a tube screamer pedal plugin, an amp plugin and this IR?
great video! still have one question .. what about mimic using a distortion pedal in front of the amp? i believe IR just has the power amp section of the amp head. thanks in advance!
Ola, can you explain the difference b/w an amp modeler and an amp profiler? And an amp emulator and amp sim? How does all that relate to IR's? Please and many thanks!
Very Nice, Thank you man. I loaded it into my Helix, unfortunatel I had to cut of a bit, beasue the size was too big. But now it sounds very similar to your tone... Great!
i have a metal zone i modded years ago i switched the diodes from silicon to germanium transistors using the anode and cathode legs as diodes it sounds better than stock in my opinion its got a more compressed sound. ill have to try it with this impulse
Why do you connect the instrument-out (or if someone doesn't have this, then the out of the reamp box) to the FX loop input and not the front of the cabinet? Shouldn't the signal be at instrument-level at this point, or would you not want to get the coloring of the pre-amp tubes? Wouldn't that also mean that you only captured the cabinet and not the coloring of the amp if you bypass the pre-amp?
So changing which amp effects loop you send signal to will also change up the impulse response sound? For example, an amp with el34 vs 6L6 tubes will change the impulse response?
Your awesomeness, for those of us that don't have DI out or load box and only have fx loop send from the preamp, are there specific IRs that we can use to emulate the power amp section in addition to the cabinets?
DFT it's digital. These tools most likely use something like Angelo Farino's time domain convolution with an inverse sweep function. It's free on Audition or Audacity.
I would like to ask, probably, a stupid question. What do I need to correctly use this IR? Guitar => dist pedal (I have Suhr Riot) => audio interface (Focusrite 2i4) => Daw => Two Tones Wall of Sound (where I load Ola's IR). Is that all right? Couse it doesnt sounds that great. Do I need something else? Like an amp sim? preamp sim? (by the way, none of my amps have FX loop. .damn). Thanks!!
Happy new year Brola, If you had to chose one or a couple of plug-in's to do your next album with, what would be your choice and why ??? plug-in that can do (guitars, bass, drums, and synth)
I'm curious, I've seen other people feed white noise into the signal loop since it contains all frequencies. Is there a difference between doing it that way as opposed to feeding a sine sweep? Either way, this one sounds great!
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!
Most important factors in your guitar sound, in order: 1. The guitar pickups 2. The guitar 3. The speaker 4. The cabinet 5. The strings 6. The effects 7. The amp
I’m new to impulse responses and I just wanna see if I kinda understood what they are. So is it basically a simulation of a power amp, cabinet, speaker and mic? All but a preamp? So does that means that i could just make a preamp block in my helix and play it right into an IR for extra realism?
Have you done, or could you do a video about the Dynaudio LYD8 monitors. I recently added them to my Sweetwater wishlist as they're the most likely contender for my next set of monitors. They appear designed for less than ideal location/small rooms. What's your impression of them so far?
Fun thing is you can make impulse responses of other things too like boost pedals (without distortion) that colors the sound, made an IR of the Fortin Grind pedal through the Nameless plugin so I can use it on my HX Stomp :D
Please keep this series going. I’m older than gods dog so this stuff is very helpful....young man.

I love this video. So much value. Thank you Ola..keep rocking👍🏼
Really great demonstration, I appreciate how in depth you went.
Very nice and short video about this topic. Well explained in my opinion.
I learned some indeed , Im making my own to now .. Thank heaps Ola and good luck with the gig in Denmark 🤘

Thanks for doing this video man. I'm new trying to do home recordings and this helped me a lot. Thanks Ola the sweede!
also cabinet impulses also include the power amp section no? so if you use an amp with a cab impulse, you have 2 power amp sections
I just got logic, can you share your must-know hotkeys and any other tips for using logicin your next home recording video? Thanks!
Dig the Solar shirt. For a second I thought it was the style of Thrasher skateboard magazine. That would be awesome.
I'd freak out if he started showing how to perform convolution with Laplace Transforms
haha that's what I was waiting for
I thought the same thing. I was having flashbacks to my DSP courses.
DFT it's digital. These tools most likely use something like Angelo Farino's time domain convolution with an inverse sweep function. It's free on Audition or Audacity.
Ola... Have u considered the room's impulse response??? Because I can hear the room's influence through the IR
Thanks for the tip and the cab upload, Ola!!!
Used it with my Mooer ge200 and it sounds great!!!
I would like to ask, probably, a stupid question. What do I need to correctly use this IR? Guitar => dist pedal (I have Suhr Riot) => audio interface (Focusrite 2i4) => Daw => Two Tones Wall of Sound (where I load Ola's IR). Is that all right? Couse it doesnt sounds that great.

Happy new year Brola,
If you had to chose one or a couple of plug-in's to do your next album with, what would be your choice and why ??? plug-in that can do (guitars, bass, drums, and synth)
I'm curious, I've seen other people feed white noise into the signal loop since it contains all frequencies. Is there a difference between doing it that way as opposed to feeding a sine sweep? Either way, this one sounds great!
Ola, have you tried cupping the mic when recording the impulse response? They say it improves the sound twofold.
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!
Impulse Responses: The Black Magic of music production
Most important factors in your guitar sound, in order:
1. The guitar pickups
2. The guitar
3. The speaker
4. The cabinet
5. The strings
6. The effects
7. The amp
Seneca Music that’s literally backwards
@@ChadKirk Keep everything else the same and swap a 5150 head for a super lead, if the gain is set the same the difference will be nearly inaudible.
@@ChadKirk nope, it's not.
I’m new to impulse responses and I just wanna see if I kinda understood what they are. So is it basically a simulation of a power amp, cabinet, speaker and mic? All but a preamp? So does that means that i could just make a preamp block in my helix and play it right into an IR for extra realism?
Question: have you tried just using white noise instead of the full sweep? I’m just curious how they compare to each other. Thanks
Great explanation and demo of creating IR files! Thank you
Can you take a tweak the IR file once it has been made. Meaning can you adjust the frequency , attack, latency or the compression?
Tack/thank you brother for the late Christmas gift .....your the man!
Yeah, I'm leaning more towards using "plug-ins", "drumming programs", and "studio program" to record....so thanks for all that you share!!!!
Have you done, or could you do a video about the Dynaudio LYD8 monitors. I recently added them to my Sweetwater wishlist as they're the most likely contender for my next set of monitors. They appear designed for less than ideal location/small rooms. What's your impression of them so far?
Awesome ola thanks so much I knew a little about impulses before but now I feel I'm a lot more knowledgeable about them
Great video ola! I always learn something each video of yours I watch, thank u
Fun thing is you can make impulse responses of other things too like boost pedals (without distortion) that colors the sound, made an IR of the Fortin Grind pedal through the Nameless plugin so I can use it on my HX Stomp :D
