Falcor77 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 So I have a room IR from York Audio I want to blend with another mix IR on the Stomp. What's the best way to do this? I'm assuming I should leave both at center and not pan them....so... Do I adjust the volume level of the room IR at the IR block or at the mixer or both? Or is there something else I need to do? Would it be better to just put a room reverb block at the end of the chain? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Room mic IR's are nice to mix with the close mic'd IR. You can do this with two parallel IR blocks. Now Helix truncates IR's to 42ms, which is not long enough to retain any reverberation from the room IR capture. So on the path with the room IR, try a light reverb block after the room IR block. This will give you kind of a wet/dry setup. I like to put a mono gain block after a dual cab or dual IR blocks to merge the panned stereo signal back to mono. Personal preference though. Now this will eat up some DSP. You may want to route the output of the op signal path down to Path 2A (the second processor). Then put the IR blocks and reverb on that bottom Path 2A.

There is PNG image file of it in HX Edit in there too. I was using a room mic IR in the bottom path with a reverb block after. They top IR is just a dynamic mic of the same cab. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uy2j658cwqfdtkp/AACL-N75BLenz4BzCQSp_FgLa?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
