Discussion with Michael Britt about studio vs merged profiles

    Quote from karlic

    I don't quite get this. Surely you would use a studio DI profile for this and then add an IR. One output could go FoH and the other to a guitar cabinet without IR. Am I missing something? I understood a merged profile to be a DI merged with studio profile to calculate the difference and separate the cab.

    I think you are correct. The point of this discussion was to try and find out why D.I. sound + cab&mic portion of the sound does not sound EXACTLY the same as the studio profile as @lonestargtr pointed out in the video I've posted in the begining of this thread. But we're talking very small differences here and mostly things of feel rather than something drastic.

    A studio profile can also be a DI only from either a power amp or preamp. When profiling you tick the box for no cab and the cab section will later be inactive and not lit. Following that you could add either a cab from another profile, or an impulse response converted by cab maker.

    A while back I noticed that a Direct Profile and the same Direct Profile from a merged profile sounded different,


    I bought it up in a thread here, to which I had this response from Mr Kemper:

    I can hear that small difference in fizziness too. The difference is caused by technical reasons, it is even intended.
    It will not affect the sound when you play through a cabinet, as these
    frequencies are heavily attenuated by the speaker. Check it out!


    So this may have an effect?

    Very interesting thread you've linked there, thanks for the link and doing the tests!
