MCabinet is a cabinet simulator plugin from MeldaProduction, built mainly for guitar and bass but usable as a sound design tool. It is based on statistical analysis of real cabinets, so you shape a sound instead of loading individual impulse response files.
MCabinet is a cabinet simulator that starts from a statistical profile of thousands of real guitar and bass cabinets rather than a library of impulse response files. You adjust the tone with a small set of controls and can generate a wide range of cabinet characters from one plugin. Developer MeldaProduction says the plugin can also export an IR file for use in hardware amp simulators that accept one. Because it works on any audio input, it also suits creative processing beyond guitar and bass.
MCabinet provides four resonators that add a distinct tonal or resonant character to the cabinet you build. Two wideners add stereo width and can add a touch of ambience.
For final adjustments, the plugin offers simple post-processing controls such as flattening and tilt, along with a dynamic equalizer. The developer describes the design as focused on the sound itself rather than on large IR libraries.
Although built for guitar and bass cabinets, MCabinet can process just about any kind of sound. You can analyze a profile from any set of samples, or start from a flat profile and apply the resonators and wideners to any audio.
The plugin includes standard MeldaProduction features: 16x upsampling, M/S processing, surround support with up to 8 channels, automatic gain compensation, A-H presets for quick comparisons, and an integrated help system.
