Lost my profiling virginity!

So, this weekend after sorting everything else, I was finally able to take my first foray into profiling....wow it's fun.

I have no easy way to reference as I listen to everything through a guitar cab so that was bit of a pain ( I was just swapping speaker leads in and out of the amp and Kemper. This did make trying to make adjustments a bit more of a faff... The results were better than expected, the sound is a little "scratchier" than the original "amp in the room" sound but not bad!!

Its a basic set up with an SM57.

I had an old Laney GH100L that I have always loved, but it's been my emergency amp for years and not used it...frankly it sounded incredible for the amp in room sound. Profile has turned out alright.

Also have a Blackstar Stage 60 which sounded OK and profile is also not bad.

The big job is to do my Engl Invader, which I'll do over the next few days..

I feel a certain obligation to ensure that any profiles I upload are good quality and I'm sure they are

I might do if you promise not to laugh

Raoul - the process is amazingly simple ( with the exception of the name bit which is a bit of a fiddle). If you can set up so you can do a simple A/B comparison as recommended, then I think it would be far easier to refine the results ( mike position etc).

Ultimately I will probably stick with the professionally profiled ones as I think they are better althought I have found you can't tell ( with a guitar cab) until you get playing with a band so I will try them. If they are any good, I will be very happy!

This process does emphasize the "amp in a room" vs miked amp...I had fogotten how good my Laney sounded and the profile didn't quite capture the amp in the room sound ( not surprisingly)...

Don't get too excited deadnight studio! I will unload in next few days so can have a listen!!
