Axe Fx Cab Lab available

And you can do the same with Lecab from Poulin with more options and it's free.
Just use the IR's capture function of the Axe when you are ready to load your mix into the box.

Nice UI, but after I bought Torpedo CAB I don't think I will be using much else. I did a butload of cab IR mixing in the past and it just sounds more blanketed regardless of Axe FX or other preamps I used. It's just harder to deal with that off sound the IR's seem to create. Even on my computer and DAW. My amp with a cab and SM57/421 still blows my mind when tracking. The IR stuff is just more work to me. Torpedo Cab to me just has more impressive results in any mix.

Glad they finally got this for Axe FXII though. Another thing to help stay competitive with Kemper and Two Notes. For me that's just like having 700 channels to watch on cable. I dumped cable so I am down to simplifying things more. Could be another reason I just don't find time to diddle around. This addition will be another time killer for me too. As it is, I already spent a fortune on my AxeII and Kemper. I may be selling them both sooner than I expect. If fiddling around on a computer if someone's thing to do, AxeII and this mix IR are a match for them.

This is my experience as well. What little high end detail in an IR goes away as soon as you mix it with another one. I don't know if it's a phase issue or what, but it's real. I've heard some same with some's "mix cocktail"...the clips have no high end detail.

Personally i've got headache with IR mixing, i can't remember if there was a blanket.

+1 for the Kemper, ain't sold the II yet but haven't touched it since.

Its nice they have done this but how much more tweaking can you get?

seriously is all this tweaking warranted for the final result you hear in this video lol

Isn't that the purpose for forums?

Looks cool for the serious tweakers, but I'm not about to go down that rabbit hole. I just wanna play guitar.

Which is why I now lol at the comments of people saying how "easy" and immediate this stuff can be. Then you watch 30 minute demo video on mixing 2-4 IR, adding it to the unit and finally demoing the sound only to add, You can still re tweak it after that. This is sweet but really is just more tools for an already overflowing tool chest. Gets to the point you don't know where to start some days.

I think the more you mix and tweak the more phase issues and other things happen. It's just not that great of a sound and you spin your wheels at a computer half hour to several hours or more on one thing. Not that you have too, I just learned to discipline myself and time a little more.

But I am truly happy for those that will sit for hours upon hours doing this stuff for one sound. Seriously! My wife has come in and said to me "You've been on this thing for half the day!" Only to realize, damn where did that 10 hours go?

Well, you can't tell good tone without a FLAC file. An mp3 or youtube...you just can't tell. The tone could be great or shit and there's no way to know. The only way to tell is with a FLAC or wav file.
