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.

Having trouble re-amping guitar tracks

I was trying out Kurt's suggestions about re-amping the guitar tracks to create layer of heavy sounding guitars. I threw a cables from the headphone output of my aadrvark q10 straight into the clean channel of my mesa boogie dual rectifier head. I hear the guitar allright but I aslo hear a pretty loud "hum" sound. I tried using the main outs from the Aardvar but same story.

Re-Amping/Re-Routing

So many forums, it's so hard to choose the right one!

OK, so I'm using a Tascam USB unit to do my tracking with. I want to route the vocals through an external reverb unit: however, the Tascam box doesn't have aux sends/receives, and when I go from output to input, all I get is some feedback (very creative feedback that will tactfully go into the song, so not a wasted effort).
