Maybe I didn't understand that the Big Box is updated now with better IRs, but that was a pretty old pack with a few good IRs and mixIR is cool and the 1073 IR is cool. I just found it to be a lot of extra stuff and nothing mix ready or blended together for any purpose. You have to do all that on your own, after a lot of time sifting through IRs.
It's all subjective perhaps, but you get a lot of preblended ones in that pack I listed for $50. It's much better quality than the Modern Studio Mix, and the v3 IRs that were pretty bad for Eleven Rack users IMHO (but also reminded me a lot of the Redwirez stuff/lots of tweaking would be needed for MY taste).
The manual is excellent also. They have tips for using real amps (these are EQ'd for modelers and they really nailed it this time for us who use the Line 6, Eleven Rack, TSEx50, etc). The use of mic blending to achieve the signature artist/genre sounds, you would have to do a lot of research to achieve that. That's fun, but I just couldn't nail the sound and feel after all the time I spent trying that.
That's where I think Redwirez is still pretty cool because you can look for all of your individual mics and blend/EQ it in MixIR. For me the Ownhammers were at one time about the same kinda thing, maybe with a different feel though. But now, they're at that point I would say you owe it to yourself to check out.
But, here from the Ownhammer manual.
THE MIXES
HG
The High Gain mix is the most forward, focused, and direct sounding of the three OwnHammer pre-made mixes.
For most speaker types this combines DYN + RBN or DYN 1 + DYN 2 depending on the available options, with some
exceptions.
This mix pairs excellently with high output humbuckers and high gain amps.
MG
The Mid Gain mix is slightly more open, softer, and midrange dominant than the HG mix, but more direct sounding
than the LG mix. For most speaker types this combines DYN + RBN + CND + ROOM or DYN 1 + DYN 2 + RBN +
ROOM depending on the available options, with some exceptions.
This Mix pairs excellently with medium output humbuckers/P90’s and mid gain amps.
LG
The Low Gain mix is the softest, darkest, and most intimate of the three OwnHammer pre-made mixes. For most
speaker types this combines DYN + RBN + REAR + ROOM or DYN 1 + DYN 2 + REAR + ROOM depending on the
available options, with some exceptions.
This Mix pairs excellently with low output P90’s/single coils and low gain amps.
SP1
The Scott Peterson mix - version 1 - was originally conceived for the OwnHammer Studio Mix Libraries and very
well received among users of many platforms. The same mic type and level recipe makes its return here.
SP2
The Scott Peterson mix - version 2 - has been voiced from and formulated specifically for the OwnHammer MultiSpeaker Collection libraries. This mix excels in providing general purpose mix fantastic for both studio and live use.
