Live Room | G^™

A superb physical modeling speaker cabinet emulator with four mics, mixable mic positions (close, near and far) and three-band EQ per channel. Live Room | G adds unprecedented realism to guitar and bass parts — or any amped instrument.

It's a real speaker cabinet, in an actual room, at your fingertips

What convolution did for reverb, Live Room | G does for speaker cabinet emulation, thanks to the next-generation physical modeling technology at its core. Engineered for the unprecedented power of today's personal computers, the modeling technology in Live Room | G captures every nuance and detail of the hundreds of factors that interact to recreate the rich, detailed sound of a speaker cabinet in a real room recorded by four separate mics.

Five cabs

Live Room | G provides five cabs:

• 4 x 12 Modern — intended for ultra-distorted chunks and sludge, yet versatile enough to handle smooth Santana-style leads (...Mesa Boogie^® with Vintage '30s).
• 4 x 12 Vintage — based upon an aging, road-worn British monster held together with gaffer's tape and AquaNet. Perfect for those '80's hair-band tributes and '70's proto-metal (...Marshall 1960B with greenbacks).
• 2 x 12 Combo — for Muscle Shoals-style southern-rock and country guitar tones (...Fender Twin with Eminence).
• 4 x 10 Combo — tuned for blues, jazz, rock and country (...reissue Bassman with Jensen reissue drivers).
• 1 x 8 Junior — this one was set up to record distorted rhythm guitar tones for rock and pop. If you like Eddie Money then this is your cabinet. You can hear the tube shields rattling in the rear mic when you drive it really hard (...Valve Jr. cabinet, heavily modded chassis, stock speaker that looks like a Weber/Mojo).

Multiple simultaneous mics with individual EQ and mixing

These days most cab emulations give you several mic choices and even some positioning control, along with the obligatory graphical representation of a mic in front of a cabinet. Live Room | G actually simulates the process of recording a guitar amplifier in a studio with multiple adjustable microphones. Live Room | G provides four mixable mic channels (two mono plus one stereo), each with their own predelay, sidechain output, 3-band EQ, solo/mute and volume. In addition, each mono mic has the following five positions around the cab:

• On axis
• Off axis
• Near
• Rear
• Far omni

The stereo (far) mic channels provide four different configurations:

• XY
• ORTF
• Blumlein
• Wide omni

Authentic guitar tones

First and foremost, Live Room | G is an indispensable component (usually the final stage) in your guitar tone signal chains. Combine Digital Performer's stomp pedal effects, Custom '59 amp emulator and Live Room | G's cab emulation in virtually unlimited combinations and you are now in guitar tone heaven.

Cab-mic anything

Live Room | G opens a world of possibilities for hearing any track through a speaker cabinet. What might take you hours of setup and tinkering with a real cabinet in a room with multiple mics will take just a few moments to set up on screen in your Digital Performer project. Try experimenting with just about any sound source to add depth, dimension and organic feel.
