I don't think you really understood my post. I'm not talking about using these preamp impulses instead of the Real Gear and getting the same results.
I've owned and Used a Vintech Dual72 (Neve 1272 Copy), and a Great River NV (Moddified Neve 1073 of sorts). And I know what they sound like.
I'm NOT saying that you can track a source with a Presonis Blue Tube and make it sound like you tracked it with a Neve Board.
A signal was sent through a Neve Board at a Bunch of different settings. Then that Post Signal was Recorded and saved as an Impulse. You then input that Impulse into your Impulse Response Program of Choice(Like SIR).
So all the Impulse really does,...is add that "Charactor" of the EQ that the Neve imparts on the source,...Onto the Track.
So it's kinda like an EQ of sorts. That is the LEAST important part of the Difference between a Presonis Blue Tube, and a Neve, SSL, API(Or any other Expensive pre),...etc,....
But it still can be an interesting tool. To add some flavor on certain tracks.
Does that make more sense to you?
