Bogren Digital has announced the release of a new audio plugin built on its groundbreaking IRDX technology, which breathes life into the guitar sound by adding dynamic and true-to-life speaker behavior to static impulse responses.
Using advanced machine learning methods to reconstruct the difference between a real cab and an impulse response, IRDX Core allows users of any guitar amp simulator or impulse response loader plugin to reconstruct the speaker dynamics and non-linearities that are invariably lost when capturing a guitar speaker impulse response.
The end result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great when playing through. Impulse Responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet, but by nature they are only a static snapshot in time. By itself, an impulse response has the tonal characteristics of a real cab but without dynamics, it creates a lifeless, fatiguing sound. Real-life guitar speakers react dynamically to the input from the amplifier. They move air, compress, and break up depending on how hard they are being pushed by the amp.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), IRDX Core is priced $39 USD. It is available from Bogren Digital and at distributor Plugin Boutique.
