I get my full mix up and scroll through them until I find a color that matches the existing palette sorta-speak. Don't rely on 'that IR you used last time'. Picking a brighter sounding cab gives you a much more natural high-boost then shelving at 5K in a parametric EQ.
Excellent point my friend. At this point, I have well over 100 different IR's with different cabinets / mic positions, etc. Whet works well for one project, might not for others.
