The perfect RedWirez interface

iFace, for many users, is going to be a tool that will completely change the way you work. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you managed without it — we’re sure of it!

We’re aiming this release specifically towards the users of the excellent RedWirez library of cabinets and microphones.

RedWirez?

RedWirez offers exceptional IR libraries, with files for different combinations of cabinet, microphone and mic placement.

For those unfamiliar with the awesome work of RedWirez, go check out their FREE Marshall 1960A IR Library — just try coming back and telling us you’re not impressed!

If you use the RedWirez library already, then we’re sure you’re more than pleased with the quality of their IRs. That doesn’t change the fact that loading them, we’re sure you’ll agree, is a complete bitch. That’s nothing against RedWirez, though; it’s the state of any IR collection. Whether it’s your own IR library gathered from around the net or a commercial package like RedWirez, the fault does not lie in the libraries. The fault lies in software used to load and navigate them.

That’s where iFace comes in

We feel that this old method of navigating to a specific IR file every time you want to is cumbersome and annoying, so we changed it! iFace allows you to select the cabinet, microphone, mic placement and mic technique — all in real-time, all through one interface.

What this means is that we are essentially providing you with a more ‘studio-like’ experience, allowing you to change the specifications at the click of a button. No more manually browsing through 1,000s of files just to move the mic back 6 inches!

So, if you use RedWirez for your cab modelling needs and wish you had an awesome interface to match their awesome libraries, then look no further!

New to iFace 1.6

Saving your selections as their own Cabinet Files

New to iFace 1.6 is the ability to save your selection as a new, single cabinet file. iFace 1.6 can generate impulse response wav files that you can then load them into iFace, Mimic or any other IR convolver you want. For those of you who have older PC’s you will find this ability very helpful because you can use an ultra light weight convolver like KeFIR instead of iFace, yet still retain the awesome sound that comes from the RedWirez impulses and our Tonal Correction technology. When iFace saves a new cabinet file, its saves it to its entirety, meaning it saves exactly what you hear. That means it takes the work of 4 impulse response files and compiles them into one single file. Essentially its like bouncing four tracks into one, but with cabinets, ambient qualities, and EQ. To get the equivalent sound using a standard impulse response convolver you would need to run 4 instances of it plus an EQ. With an iFace generated IR you only need to run one copy of your convolver.

Using external Cabinets

Also new in the upgraded version of iFace is the ability to use external cabinets. This is done via our Custom Menu System. The menu system allows you to add specific folders full of Impulse Response files for quick references to your IR collection. You can name your cabinets what you want within the custom menu without ever changing their file names on disk. This is important because you may have other projects that rely on those files and by renaming them you are effectively breaking links to those projects. When you open one it will not be able to find the cabinet files it needs. So we included a definable menu system that allows you to name the files anything you like, allowing you to organize your cabinet collection within iFace to be as efficient as you possibly can.

Support for Recabinet 2.02 through Menu Templates

Although iFace does not support Recabinet through its native interface, it does now support it through the external cabinet menu system, and there is a menu template included that adds friendly names to each selection.

Support for ALL Redwirez cabinets

AcmeBarGig have been busy, but so have our friends at the Red 5 Group, makers of the Redwirez Cabinet Library. Redwirez have added new cabinets and iFace 1.6 now supports them all.

New, more organized internal menu

iFace 1.6 has a new internal menu system for Cabinet selection and is grouped by cabinet type. This makes it easier for you to get to the cabinet and speaker you want to use.

Cabinet Blend slider

iFace 1.6 now has a slider that allows you to quickly change the blend between cabinets.

Serial and parallel convolution

You can now run iFace in serial or parallel convolution. This essentially means that you can use any ambient IR file and use the cabinet as the sound source for the ambient file.
