Description

Reamping is a studio recording technique that involves taking a recorded audio track (usually guitar or bass) and playing it back through a guitar amplifier, then capturing the results by recording the output of the amp to a new track.

Re-amping is a process often used in multitrack recording in which a recorded signal is routed back out of the editing environment and run through external processing using effects units and then into a guitar amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet or a reverb chamber.

Reamping results wanted

Can anyone post audio clips of an actual reamp'd guitar, either soloed or in a project? I've read so much about the positives but have yet to hear results.

Have your guitarists complained about feeling being sacrificed in not playing into an amp? Minding impedance, how does the sound compare in terms of s/n or weird artifacts as it leaves the amp?

reamping guitar

I recently tried to do some reamping by using a passive DI box. I was told on another forum to run the -10 output of my soundcard to the XLR output of the DI box. Then, run the 1/4" input of the DI box to the guitar head input. I tried this and although I don't seem to get any noise when the guitar runs through the amp, as soon as I arm a track to record, it squeals uncontrollably.
