For business, lessons, & questions - Impulse responses are incredibly powerful tools for transforming the sound of your instrument. The unfortunate reality with the most common mode of amplification for the violin, piezo pickups, is that they can often sound harsh. Through the use of IRs, we can shape the direct sound of our electric or acoustic violins into something more useable.
Thanks to Jonathan for giving me the idea to start this new series of videos, Gear for the Contemporary Violinist. Jonathan's channel -
