Does anyone else get this error loading Ownhammer IR’s in Bias Fx2?

I don’t have Bias so wouldn’t know, it’s not an app I use. But I did hear you can load IRs in there which is cool.

Were you trying to import the IR while inside Bias? Did you try instead moving the IR file into Bias in the Files app and then seeing if it pops up in the app? Were you trying to load a 200ms mono or a 500ms stereo IR? Was the sample rate of the IR the same as the Bias setting at the time? Was it a single .wav file or folder of several? Says on the screen you didn’t have permission for that action, maybe it’s one of those iOS14 permission bugs? If the problem persists, I’d contact PG and send them screenshot.

I think Bias FX2 has no folder in files. I have tried loading 200ms, 500ms, mono, stereo, and all possible variants.
Bias don’t let you load folders, only individual files, other free IR's that I have downloaded have allowed me to load them. I am still using IOS 13

Hmm... so you’ve loaded other .wav files into that same Bias app using the same method with no problem? Is there anything different with what your’re doing compared to the IRs that did load? Are the IRs located in the same place on your iOS device? Maybe having them in the same place will help? Also, try to rename the file to something else .wav and see if that works. Just grasping at straws here, I don’t see how that OwnHammer file could be any different from your other .wav file, unless maybe it’s stored in a different place on your device or somehow the name with spaces is wrong... idk... can you try loading some more non OwnHammer files? Also I’d assume Bias doesn’t load true stereo IRs though don’t know for sure. I’d stick with mono 200ms and the same sample rate as bias.

I just loaded them into Bias Fx 2, no problem. I think you may be loading the wrong sample rate.

These are good. Well worth $15 for the revolution pack. Perfect combos for the Iridium, which models Fender, AC30, and Marshall amps. Overwhelming variety, but well-organized and well named for their characteristics (shout out to the "sweet spot" files).

Good call on the sweet spot files, I’m gonna have to add those to Thafknar. The key on iOS to make it less overwhelming, besides committing to a sample rate folder, is trimming down and consolidating all the IRs you actually want to use at the source (Files app), and making that smaller file the one you upload into the app. I made the mistake as many have of just unzipping an entire IR purchase inside Thafknar, and scrolling through thousands of IRs is honestly a horrible experience. With the right organization it’s so much more satisfying. Obviously you can easily make a zip file on desktop and move it to iOS, probably much faster to organize.

The Iridium seems like an amazing piece of gear! Reading about it makes me want it so bad. And it already comes with some of my favorite OwnHammers preloaded, Vox and Marshall GNR. So you got the rEvolution bundle and uploaded them via desktop into the Iridium? That is seriously cool. You separated the files on desktop? How many IRs at a time can the Iridium hold on board? Do you send it FOH or frfr or just using headphones?

Iridium has a small software manager app on the website. You just point to the the directory and it will recognize the folder structure so you can uncollapse per folder to find what you want. The best part is you can instantaneously preview them with guitar in hand with Iridium on thanks to its headphone jack, and then sync when you’re sure you’re done. Each amp type (Deluxe Reverb, AC30, Marshall) has 3 different IR slots, so 9 total.

The auditioning and loading was a surprising breeze, making an incredible pedal even better. It’s perfect for a bedroom player or someone who doesn’t want to mess with amp and mic setup when recording to iPad (or in any studio, really).

I cut tracks for a couple different pro engineers for some side money time to time, and they were shocked at the quality compared to the days before I had it, when I’d usually just go DI and let them re-amp and do their magic.

At the very top of gear I’d recommend. Simple and sounds amazing. Oh, and the true stereo files work just fine, as Iridium can be used in stereo, mono, or mono summed. Note, however that it only allows you to load the same amp to each channel (no mix and match), but I do believe you can load a left channel mono IR and right channel mono IR to each slot, essentially doubling the amount of IRs if you’re playing in stereo, although you would be limited to that exact L and R combination.

And want to add your normal hardware pedal chain will work just fine with it; it is designed to emulate an amp after all 😎. Just stick the Iridium at the end of everything and bam. Or put your time-based reverb and delays after it, whichever you prefer.

The samplerate is fine, I will try to restart and delete everything to see if it is solved, in general Bias FX2 does a good job with IR’s

Yeah I suggested it as a trouble shoot but having a different sample shouldn’t prevent you from simply loading the IR into the folder for future use.

But are your IRs stored in the same location on your iOS device? Can you make the error IR look the same as the one that worked? Like same location, similar file name?

Also try redownlaoding the IR to make sure it wasn’t corrupted, if nothing else works. Sorry you have to deal with that.

The whole load your own IRs is a gigantic pain, and I've found Ownhammer to be particularly annoying, partly due to the user-unfriendly naming convention. Why the need for underscores and skipping vowels in the file names? It just makes everything unnecessarily cryptic. A longer file name that actually describes the amp and mic combo (while skirting copyright issues) would be so much better.

In the end I just renamed the folders myself to something more intelligible. But honestly, the user experience of dealing with these files is just rubbish.
