What's Cabinet IR

First Step

  • Engineered to Inspire

    TacoSounds IRs are generated after meticulously selecting microphones tailored to each cabinet's characteristics and fine-tuning the mic positions. This approach aims to capture the true sound and unique personality of the speaker cabinets. During the miking process, it's essential to play the head amp and cabinet, listening carefully. This step is critical in determining which speaker units to drive and at what volume to create the IRs. Our IR data is rigorously refined to closely match the quality of tracks recorded live with those processed through a head amp and IR loader.

  • The Gear Matters

    TacoSounds IR's goal is to deliver vibrant, authentic tones that harmonize beautifully within an ensemble. To achieve this, we go beyond just selecting microphones; we use carefully chosen outboard gear, power amps, and cables of high quality. Capturing the cabinet accurately is vital, and the recording environment plays a crucial role in this. By combining these elements, TacoSounds creates IR data that faithfully represents the cabinet's characteristics.

  • Passion for Music

    TacoSounds enables users to quickly achieve superior tones with ease, thanks to our skilled miking techniques and proven microphones. This reduces the time spent on sound selection, helping you focus on music production.

Technical FAQs

Can you share some tech details about your Cab Packs?

Absolutely! Our Cab Packs include sample rates of 96kHz, 48kHz, and 44.1kHz. They are compatible with most modelers, plugins, and load boxes. To reduce the folder access burden due to an increased number of files, we have adopted only 500ms files. For hardware that requires 200ms files, they will be automatically adjusted to the appropriate length upon import. Particularly, devices that fully utilize the 500ms files can achieve optimal performance and detail.

1. Use the 500ms Folder by default.
2. TacoSounds IRs are recorded at 96kHz, but many IR loaders use 48kHz.
Choose the appropriate sample rate for your setup.
3. When mixing with multiple microphones, it's recommended to use MPT (Minimum Phase Transfer)


Let's take a detailed look at what each part of a file name like 'TacoIR 412 HWTT BOXY Green 57III MPT' means. 'TacoIR 412 HWTT BOXY' represents the cabinet name, 'Green' indicates the speaker name, '57III' is the microphone, and 'MPT' denotes the phase version. Please refer to each cabinet's instruction manual PDF for full utilization of the product. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

Should I set my amp's knobs to the middle when looking for the perfect IR?

Cab IR is a tool that replicates the acoustic characteristics of a cabinet. The settings on the amplifier affect the tone, but Cab IR's effects operate independently. It's crucial to make sure it suits the sound both the amplifier and cabinet are looking for.

Will Taco Sounds IRs work with my gear?

Yes, they will! Our IRs are compatible with many devices that can import IRs in WAV format, such as digital amp modelers, plugins, and pedals. Please refer to the manual of your device to select the appropriate sample rate. Note that the handling of the files may vary depending on the hardware loader.
