Default Re: Microphone Emulators

I guess my point is that it's scientifically impossible to simulate a mic-less cabinet. Even sims that claim to do so are just using an alternate mic simulation - that of a stereo pair however many feet back, to simulate how are ears hear in the room.

As I mentioned before, how do we know what a speaker sounds like? It's all based on where we're standing. If you stand 2 feet from a gun being fired, it's a loud pop. If you are 1000 feet away, it sounds very different.

It's like the old saying, if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound. So whatever is simulating an amp in a room, is still an emulation based on what is captured by microphones.
