Having a look at Freesound.org after @mukayu recommended it. There are a LOT of location IRs for reverbs on this site
freesound.org/search/?q=ir
Some are badly done but some look to be rather good so worth a go if you need a more realistic reverb in your production.

Best #Linux distro for music?

I'll give it a go again and see what happens this time. Wasnt convinced 5+years ago it was worth it.

Currently downloading Ubuntu Studio (not expecting much) but what else is there that will run an audio interface, DAWs etc? Anything on Debian or Mint?

I like to use Krita, Inkscape and GIMP too from time to time.

Finally got around to editing some of those IRs I did late last week. Triggered with a 500 samples sine pulse (did a new one specifically for this as its cleaner than editing the old one). The IRs I'm getting back seem to be between 2000 to 4000 samples. 😕

How in the hell?

Will test in NADIR, but dont think they'll load into the Helix. Unless there is a quick fix.

Made up a 512 samples triangle sweep from 25hz to 19500hz in a 5 second file. Normalised to -0.5db. Whacked mp3 player to full volume (goes from 1-40 - 20 will blow your ears out) &it didnt seem to distort or clip the Behringer for some reason.

Turned off preamps & FX, started record and played the sweep through each of the 23 cab models. Then did the same through the ambience, reverb and delay. Havent edited yet so not sure how it turned out

Pulled the Behringer Bass Vamp Pro out of the rack. Took photos, listed it on ebay for a 10 day auction starting tomorrow night. Havent found the manual yet but think I know where it is.

Used that a lot with pedals, guitar and bass. Even synths. For its time and price it was pretty good. The connectivity on this still surpasses many modern modellers.

Most expensive mics I've ever bought. Used that money from my recent clearouts to fund this, a new amp and a pedal.

Thanks to the people who recommended the pedal on here. Havent tried it out yet. Amp is incredible! Havent tried the mics yet either - bought for acoustic guitar, supposed to be the very best pencil condensers out there.

Fuck me there are some grifters on youtube doing "reviews" and "advice". You leave a comment from real world experience and its like you asked to touch someone's bollocks or something.

Ask yourselves SERIOUSLY: what are professionals still using day-in, day-out 5 years on.. 10 years on..? What are the techniques they use those years on, and why?

Stop berating people about money, accessibility and experience.
