The definitive solution for home recording? Torpedo Captor + Torpedo CAB M

[@robyrocks]

WOW! Great Great Great and useful tool!!!!

[@gilmouring]

Yeah, a really interesting piece of gear! 😁

Great video Tony!!! Can you use it to play at home with headphones? And btw what happened to your red strat haha?

[@gilmouring]

Yeah! I said in the video you can get the output or plug headphones! My red strat is just fine why? 😁

@@gilmouring we haven’t seen it in a while haha

@@majd.z ahaha you're right...I'll use it in my next video!

Salve volevo chiederle un consiglio,ho il captor da un mesetto e ho provato diverse ir tra le migliori e diversi ir loader VST Ecc. ma la qualitá del suono non è il massimo!! Accoppiando un cab m suonerebbe meglio?

[@gilmouring]

Salve, direi proprio di no. Anche perché ci sono tantissimi fattori. Per dare una risposta esaustiva servirebbe di analizzare tutto il suo setup. Comunque le IR richiedono parecchio lavoro per suonare bene, almeno nella mia esperienza. Il mio consiglio è di scaricare "Wall of sound" che è un software gratuito di Two Notes, sostanzialmente lo stesso che c'è dentro CAB M. Poi suggerirei di comprare un cabinet dinamico dei loro (es. io ho preso la 2x12 celestion v30). Perché rispetto alla IR richiede meno configurazione ed è più personalizzabile (si può spostare il microfono). Tra l'altro se ha comprato il captor nuovo e si registra avrà già gratis alcuni cabinet, potrebbe cominciare a provare quelli. Eventualmente il Celestion mi pare costi 8 euro... Poi a quel punto se Wall of sound convince, ha senso comprare il CAB M, dove potrà usare tutti i suoi IR + il cabinet. Spero di essere stato esaustivo!

For combo amps, can you use the eq and reverb of the cab m?

Very interesting... sounds 95% Authentic I’d say. I feel it lacks something... I can’t explain it though. What’s your thoughts?

[@gilmouring]

I think that this gear lets me get the same result while recording. While the microphone won't always be in the same spot and will loose frequencies because of the low volume at home. Plus I can record turning off my amp cabinet and add effects after the "miking" (delay and reverb) and so even get a stereo signal (especially for delays and a hypothetical rotary which could come soon 🤓)... So I'm really happy with this result!

@@gilmouring he’s going stereo 😃😀😀

[@gilmouring]

@@enzoavery9951 also let me say that I really don't hear much difference with my sound recorded with my microphone (except for the frequency loss issues). But this could be a topic for a future video: I have to find a IR of Eminence 1x12 speakers recorded with a Sennheiser E 906... That would indeed be interesting...

[@enzoavery9951]

@@gilmouring that would be great, it could have been an EQ, thing, it could have just been that recording, anything! A real tone geek would have to pick up on it. No one would know if you used that in a live setting straight into the sound desk for example!

@@gilmouring just listening to it again, without ear phones this time and it does sound very good. I have established my statement of “I feel it’s missing something” from my experience of KZbin videos of David Gilmour, it just seems to lack a little bass compared to having amps mic’d.
