IR's versus Helix cab sims
Hello.
What is the difference between an IR from Ownhammer or 3Sigma and the "built-in" cab sims on the Helix?
Were the Helix cab sims captured using a technique other than impulse response?
If so, why? People seem to prefer external IR's to the built-in cabs.
Thanks.
It's not that third-party cabs are inherently or empirically better; there's just a much wider variety to choose from. It's like buying an Akai MPC and preferring ten or twelve out of a million third-party samples to the included library... or preferring Netflix to the tiny DVD rental section at the small town general store.
And like third-party MPC libraries and Netflix, there are a ton of awful third-party IRs as well.
