You handsome bastard. I love it when I have a question and the video that pops up is someone I already watch. Thanks dude!
😎🙏👌
THANK YOU!!! Was getting a weak signal into my amp when re-amping, the MONITOR dial on my 2i2 was down, thanks to your vid it's working as expected now! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear that Carl! 🙏👌
awesome video! that's literally exactly what I needed to learn because I'm gonna do this technique for mixing with some of my guitar pedals, and this us the only video on UA-cam that shows exactly how to do it and demonstrates! Thank you
Thanks man! Glad to hear this! 🙏
@@EugeValovirta230V Agree, everyone else just babbles, this is to the point. Appreciate it
Sounds great my friend!!!!
Dude, thanks a lot. Now it's crystal clear how it works. So much people tried to explain to me without gear. Thanks a lot again!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for making this so simple. Love your vid's.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Thanx! informative - yes and not to bloody fast as many other UA-cam channels. Rock on!
Dude you are an awesome teacher and player too!
Thanks man! 🙏☺️
That was very well explained and helpful , I guess I can use the torpedo as a DI box
excellent video !
Thanks!
Thanks, dude! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Good to know. I got the exact same audio interface. :)
😊👍
This is a really cool straight forward video. I have an SSL 2 plus interface. I'll try this with my ableton live 11 soon.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Hey I have the SSL 2. Is there a way to actually listen to your sound while it's reamping with one monitor on, while the other is doing the job? Or the result won't be the same? My Reamp box has a level control.
Different DAWs have different ways of doing that and since it’s quite crucial so yes.
Thanks for the info brother!
You’re welcome! 🙏
idk man, the way you kindly handed me your scarlett at 0:20 seconds of the video made me instantly like and subscribe to the channel...
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Love the video. Thank you
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Thank you for this!!!
You’re welcome 😎🙏.
Awesome video as always Euge very informative! Would you consider doing a review for the Amped plugin you were using?
On my to do list 👍😎
Keep up the good work. I use an Apollo x8, I realize now I went overboard.
I will thanks 😎.
Just drag them like you would with Mac in genreral or choose import audio to track etc. I believe there’s bunch of good videos on YT how to do that 😊.
The di box outputs a mic level signal, not a line level signal - anyway it's a minor detail. Thanks for the explanation, great video 👍👍
great video, that will help me a lot, thank you so much, I also read somewhere that you can reamp with out a reamp box, but you will not get such a great tone
Thanks! Glad to hear! You can't since the whole idea of a re-amp box is that it changes the LINE LEVEL signal, what comes out from your DAW, to INSTRUMENT LEVEL signal that guitar amps are designed to get. If you feed a line level signal into a guitar amp it will sound horrible and in the worst case you could end up blowing the pre-amp tubes etc. so I wouldn't even try that :-).
@@EugeValovirta230V glad to hear back from you, your suggestion noted, will not try it like that :D, ill just wait till i get a reamp box.
Are there any other brands that you recommend other than Radial, and good enough
Thanks
Thx you so much man 🔥🔥
Happy to help! Thanks!
Thanks Euge!
You’re welcome! 🙏
damn best video of youtube here !!
🤟🙏
Great videos ii just bought a new interface with 4 outputs just so I can run outboard gear and reamp easier 🤘🤘
Rock on!
I was pretty sure that's how I'd use a Radial DI box to get a DI signal for re-amping later. Thanks!
👌👍😎
Thanks for the video. Which method do you prefer best? Record directly from the focusrite and guitar or use the Marshall into the Radials? Seems like the latter but I’m curious to hear your opinion 😊 thanks again
Hi Euge! Awesome video brother. Just what I have been looking for. Does the signal that comes out of the Marshall need to go into reactive load unit or can you bypass that and go from the Marshall right into the interface? Thank you.
Glad to hear! Thanks! With tube amps you always have to have a load (cab, load box etc.) 👍😎.
That's what you do if you don't like your Marshall and you want to blow it up. Might make some cool fire fx come out of the interface too. Hahaa
Nice, I was looking for a singnal path to use external FX with my 2i2 and guess that this is the way to go. Also was thinking that maybe using the headphones output to do this could be a good way to keep the audio playback in real time. Thanks!
Not sure if you could select the headphone out as a separate line out from DAW ’cos that’s what you have to do to be able to just send the DI signal out to reamp box -> amp 😎.
Hei Euge!Like your channel!
Moi! Glad to hear! Thanks!
Thanks so much for this. I have been wondering how to do this process properly. What input level are you looking for around 12db?
You’re welcome🙏. Not sure I understand the question but when I dial the input level correctly so that the input level green light blinks in Focusrite it’s usually between -6 to - 3 db in Logic.
Euge Valovirta yeah that’s the answer I was after. You run hotter than me that’s all. Great work
Hey there! Nice video, but my problem is a little different. I'm running my recorded DI signal through the Radial reamp box into my amp and trying to mic the cab instead of running it back direct into the Focusrite. Every time I do, I get a feedback loop through my mics (Reaper is my DAW). I've tried turning off monitoring on my armed track to avoid a feedback loop and the problem continues. I've also tried to change the output settings in the Focusrite Control software with no luck. What would you recommend?
EDIT: I should also mention that I'm running my two mics through a ART Digital MPA II Preamp before going into the Focusrite. Not sure if that makes a difference and I've messed with the settings on that as well and there is still feedback.
Finally this is exactly what I wanted to do. I just ordered a suhr IR box. So I cannot do this on a scarlett solo? I need a 2i2?
Thanks! You need one that has enough I/O 👌: Line out from the interface to reamp box (which changes the line level signal to instrument level signal for the amp) and obviously line outs for your monitors, input from the Suhr (or mic / mics if you’re using a real cab) etc.
Cool video, how do you make sure the volume you recorded matches exactly the volume you send to the amp? I find that after I record, then I have to send a signal that is -6.5db (volume on the channel) to get about the same level that the guitar would send…
Interesting video! How can you avoid the feedback loop considering the scarlett 2i2 have only two outputs?
Thanks!
🙏🤟
@@EugeValovirta230V 🤜🏻🔥🤛🏻
Hi does the theoughput of the DI goes into the input of the amp? As in where you input the guitar? Or does it go to the line out of the amp? Thank you! Nice video btw!
Didn’t I explain everything in the video? Thanks! Glad to hear!
Hey Euge, thanks for your Video! Very instructive! Did you ever tried to reamp with a Mooer preamp instead an Amp? I know you like the preamps, and I tried it, but without any positive results…any Suggestions? Cheerz Rod
Thanks man!
I hardly do any re-amping ’cos I dial the sounds the way I want when I record so I haven’t tried with Mooers. If I for some reason need to have a different sound I just re-play it or if the performance is magical I re-amp with real tube amp 👌😎.
That was helpful thank you. I noticed when you reamped into the Marshall, you used a reactivate load which I assume is a cab sim. Could you have just miced the cab from the Marshall?
Thanks! Yeah sure 🤟😎.
Hi! Do you disable the master track or you reamp with it on?
reamp di signal is cool to give a different voice to a recorded track. but if recording just the amp signal, do i need a regular ts guitar cable or a trs cable from the reactive load ir output to the focusrite input? thanks
thanks for this! learning using audio interfaces. I was looking at this one.
I was planning on using a pedal board (similar to the one you use for live rigs) connected to the audio interface and to studio monitors. Do I still need the other components? or is ok, just guitar->pedal board->audio interface-> studio monitors (computer to record)
You’re welcome!
Pedals without power amp & cabinet or a simulation of those will sound quite horrible so yes you need them 👌😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks! yes I noticed that the audio interface uses the computer for power. got it! thanks as always for your help
Hi !
I am new on reamping, on 5:35 the trs jack is mono or stereo? I mean that the cable fron scarlett's outout to reamp box is balanced or unbalanced?
Thank you very much!
Normal mono guitar cable. You’re welcome!
The scarlett output is balance, the reamp box makes it unbalanced for the amp.
Hi Euge. I have a hybrid combo amp that has only instrument input, no line out no nothing else. So can I connect my DI box's direct link to amp's input, and connect my guitar to di box's input, and xlr output to interface's input and record di sound? Love your videos by the way, man!
Yes that’s what it’s basically designed for 👌. I have a DI box set this way always in my studio so I can record a DI sound along with my amps any time I want. I do this a lot especially with bass.
Great video, many thanks. I don't know what radial means but will the Palmer Daccapo do the job?
Thanks! Radial is a brand 😎: www.radialeng.com/
Since Palmer Daccapo is a re-amping box it should do the re-amping job 👍😊.
@@EugeValovirta230V 😊👍🏻
Coming from someone that is FOH Engineer (I also play the guitar in my spare time) the re-amp boxes are quite costly.
Personally, I think these things are much better suited for live use but that's just me an my opinion.
Hellou 😊 This was good ! Tästä sainkin idean kotistudioon. Mul on kans Scarlet 3rd generation.Eli siis kotioloissa voin nauhoittaa 5150 vahvarilla...?Puuttuu tosin nyt vielä reampbox,tarviiko vielä sen DI box?
Moi! Tänks! Jos äänität vain vahvistinta, niin silloin tarvitset tuon mun käyttämän Suhr Reactive Load IR:n (tai vastaavan keinokuorman esim. Two Notes Captorin) ellet voi / halua äänittää vahvistinta oikean kaapin (jolloin tarvitset toki siihen vielä mikrofonin) kanssa, mikä kotistudiossa ei ole oikein käytännöllistä (for the obvious reasons 😊). DI boxia tarvitset vain jos haluat äänittää samaan aikaan myös DI - signaalin ja Reamp - boxia vain, jos haluat reampata sen DI signaalin 👍.
Tässä video Suhrista: ua-cam.com/video/UCeCXKEcav8/v-deo.html
@@EugeValovirta230V kiitos vastauksesta 😊 Mennyt täysin ohi toi Suhr 😯 Sehän näytti todella mielenkiintoiselta 😊
Eipä kestä😊. Joo se on ihan pirun hyvä peli! Nastaa kun pystyy äänittämään ja soittamaan himassa oikeilla vahvistimilla ja ajamaan niitä kunnollisella mastervolalla vaikka pelkät luurit korvissa 👌😊
Hi Euge! Can I connect effect pedals between the guitar and Focusrite input and still record into my DAW? Does that work? Will the effect pedals still sound good? Or is there a different method to connect the pedals to record into my DAW? Thanks!
Hi man! Yeah I do that all the time. Even if I’m using an amp sim like Softube’s Marshall plugins I boost them with a real SD-1. You just gotta make sure the input level is right so that it doesn’t clip (go red 😎) on the way in.
Good amp plugins take real pedals like real amps but not so good ones don’t.
@@EugeValovirta230V Okay cool. I have the Neural DSP Soldano and Archetype Tim Hensen plugins that are oh sooo good! I'm glad you know a lot about this stuff. Hooking up can be a monster so I'm glad I asked the right person. Love your stuff and keep going Euge! 👍
Oh yeah Neural stuff is good 👌. Thanks man! Glad to hear that! 🙏
Hi from Detroit ! I have a question. I am buying this Focusrite you show here but did not show my exact recording situation. I play bass and my setup goes like this ..... Active Bass ---> Pedal Board --> Trace Elliot AMP with DI out on it.
My amp is "Trace Elliot GP7 SM BASS PREAMP 300" and the DI out is part of the amp. My question is... How do I connect this to the Focurite? Do I just get a Female XLR for the amps DI and convert to 1/4" plug to go to the Focusrite? Or do I do XLR to XLR ? Im thinking the XLR on the Focusrite is for Microphones only? Im confused about the Focusrite XLR connection. Thanks for reading.
EDIT : After Further research I found my answer but I will leave my question up there for others. In my situation I do this.....
Bass Guitar > Pedal Board > My Amp that has a DI out > XLR to XLR cable to FOCUSRITE > Computer
Happy New Year 2021
Exactly like you wrote on the EDIT 👌.
Happy New Year!
hi. thanks for sharing. i am a bit confused about the reason for using a DI box instead of a re-amp box- is a DI box considered better than a re-amp box? or vice versa ? i'm borrowing a friend's re-amp but should i just go get a DI box? thanks
If you want to record the amp and DI simultaneously you’ll need a DI box to split the signal to the amp and to the audio interface 👍😊.
For re-amping you need a re-amp box which transforms the output signal from the audio interface to instrument (guitar) level signal for the amp.
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks for getting back to me. : ) that's what i thot but was thrown off a bit bc i was thinking why would a person need a DI at all then if they were trying to re-amp? i guess the video u made is covering two different things- like the title says- but i thot they were two different ways to achieve the same goal of re-amping. i got it now. thank you!
Cool! Glad to hear!
Hi Euge, could you recommend a pair of speakers / monitors to connect to the RIVERA RockCrusher Recording attenuator / load box. Thanks
I’m not familiar with the Rivera so I’m not aware that you could connect a speakers directly into it?
I have my Suhr Reactive Load IR connected into my Focusrite audio interface and my Genelec speakers connected into that. No idea what type they are but they sound really good 👍😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanx!
You’re welcome!
Hi and thanks for the video. How is the reamp box setup (any limiting to DI sig vol)? I was just wondering if this is possible without the reamp box (scarlett output volume control)?
Meaning: one scarlett output to amp and from there back to scarlett input through a load attenuator.
Re-amp boxes exist for a reason: to convert line level signal (from audio interface) to an instrument level signal for amplifiers. Nothing to do with volume 😎👌.
Great video, thanks. I only have a passive DI box, would that work as a Reamp box?
Thanks!
No: DI Box (passive or active) changes instrument level signal to mic level signal and Reamp box changes line level signal to instrument level signal. There’s a reason why these two different boxes exists 😎. Here’s more info about recording (gear) in general if you’re interested: ua-cam.com/video/dWgG8ALnjp4/v-deo.html
You can use a passive DI box to reamp. Do this by using it in reverse. The output of your interface goes into the output of your DI, then the input of the DI goes into the input of your guitar rig. You will need to adjust the levels so you don't overload the DI box or get a lot of noise. It will probably take a few attempts or tweaks to dial things in so the signal matches up. This was the common way of reamping in studios waaaayyyyy before "reamp" boxes started to become popular. These newer dedicated reamp box offers a few beginner friendly features which handdle the volume/impedance issues, but otherwise they are essentially a DI box in reverse
Thanks for the video. Can you use the headphone jack as the output rather than the monitor output on the rear? This would eliminate having to disconnect them if that will work. Thanks again.
The headphone jack has a built in headphone amplifier (at least usually ’cos otherwise it’d be pretty hard to hear anything 😊) so I wouldn’t recommend using that. It’ll probably be a bit overkill.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks.
Great video! I was wondering though, it is still a little confusing for me. I am using a Behringer UMC22 for my recordings, I usually hook up my SM57 microphone to my Behringer and put it against my amp and play directly. So you showed two Radial products this video and I only want to buy a single one because I don't have a lot of money. |
My goal is to be able to record a DI signal directly while also recording the amp via the mic live, then with the DI signal to be able to re-amp for better tone. Will the Radial J48 suffice for this, or do I need the Radial JCR REAMP instead?
My behringer UMC22 only has 1 XLR input, 1 Jack input and two Jack Outputs.
You need a DI box for recording: splits the signal to audio interface (from instrument level to microphone level signal )and the other to the amp (keeps the signal as instrument level signal)
You need a Re-amp box for re-amping (changes the line level signal from DAW to instrument level signal for the amp). Amplifier can’t take a line level signal from DAW ’cos amps are designed to receive only instrument level signal so that’s why we need a re-amp box.
@@EugeValovirta230V Okay, clear! And if I would only record my guitar DI into my audio interface without going to the amp. Do I then only need a Reamp box in order to keep reamping and recording? So would buying only a reamp box suffice?
Yeah in that case you’d be fine with just a Re-amp box 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks again! That's gonna save a lot of money, poor student 🤣
Will the first method work when using audio interface with a pedal board and connecting it to a Tascam DP 32 SD for recording guitar effects?🤔
These Radial guitar effects re-ampers should do the job: www.radialeng.com/reamp
@@EugeValovirta230V Much appreciated, thank you very much. 🌝👍
Hi, do you have any problem with instruments input with hot pickup guita with Scarlett 2i2?because I'm interested in this audio interface but I have some guitars with loud pick up and I think it may clip at minimum gain.
I use mostly EMG’s 81/85 & 57/66 pickups and haven’t had any problems 🤟.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks for the reply, in one of my guitar I have the Seymour Duncan Invader, super high output, but I don't know if it's more louder than an EMG 85 or not.
you could get more but just tweaking the virtual one you'll do fine
👍😎
Didn’t know the best video to post and ask this. But I’m just looking into recording some guitar at home (just to help me get better) and I know most of the pasty’s you’re get but. I’ve no idea when it comes to Apple Mac and the size of GB needed for it to work out ok. Can I ask what you know about this? Like I said random I know.
I guess it depends what is your DAW. I use Logic Pro X and I have 20GB of memory and that works great but I guess you'd be fine with 8GB as well. Here's what Apple recommends: www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs/
Euge Valovirta thank so much not sure why I didn’t look on Apple. 🤦♂️
Thx for the great explanation! Just 1 question. Shouldn't the "inst" option of input 1 be on? Since input 1 is receiving the signal directly from the amp and that signal is bypassing the DI box.
It’s been a while since I did this video and can’t remember the details but in general Inst input is for instrument level signals (guitar, bass) and line level is for line level signals (reactive load, keyboards etc.) 👌. And mic is for microphone level signals from…well that’s pretty obvious 😁. I’m pretty sure no signal was coming directly from the amp to the interface ’cos that would have fried / blown the amp and definitely the interface. 100 watt tube amp puts out quite a lot of electricity and always needs a load (cabinet or reactive load) or it will blow up.
@@EugeValovirta230V So the "inst" input is off because the RL requires a line level input. Got it! In my case, I will be using a preamp to a cab sim (mooer radar) and to the input of my scarlett. So it would be guitar>di box>preamp (using the "through" output)>IR cab sim>scarlett input for recording the wet signal. Would you recommend to keep the "inst" input off as well for this setup?
Inst input only when you plug an instrument directly to audio interface.
@@EugeValovirta230V Perfect! Thx for your time Euge!
Hi Man, Is there any way to reamping with using mooer radar without any reamping box or real amp? What do you think?
You always need a reamp box with whatever you use ’cos the recorded DI signal from DAW needs to be ”changed” into similar signal that comes out from your guitar and that’s where you need a reamp box. If you send the signal from the DAW without ”changing” it to guitar signal it will sound horrible ’cos guitar amps, pedals etc. are designed to receive guitar / instrument level signal and nothing else 👌😎.
I'd like to see reamping from headphone out. I'm trying to find a video showing if there is a reamp device which does stereo unbalanced low-z in and stereo hi-z out. My interface has to stereo headphone outputs, but just two mono monitor outputs, like your Scarlett one.
Radial has one new product (or actually two) and video coming about those in the near future 🤟.
Wht will happen if we directly take output of interface & plug it into Amp input & then output of Amp to reactive load & then to speakers ... Will it work ? 🤔🤔
Used the reamp method with a torpedo captor x, my question is it only recorded head amp with no speakers, does this mean i need an ir loader for the recorded reamp track? Thanks
No, you can add IR later…
What would you say the optimal level to track guitar/bass via DI with the express purpose of reamping is?
Peaks on yellow but no red lights.
Thanks for the Infos!!!
I m a noob and i m not Sure i get it 100%...
i want to record my bamboo flute with reverb and delay pedals from a condensor mic.
So, i connect condensor mic to interface in, from out to reamp, from reamp to pedals, and from pedal come back to audio interface in..
Am i right???
If i connect my headphones to the interface, am i able to hear the wet signal in real time ???
Reampin (=converting line level signal to instrument level) is just for reamping DI signals (guitar, bass) with (guitar / bass) amps. If you want to record whatever just record as usual 😎.
I appreciated your video but I think there are a few options less complicated.
1.- If you want only the DI, just plug the guitar in Focusrite using instrument mode and if you want to hear not the DI while you play, use some plugin in your daw with low latency like Ignite
2.- If you want to reamp with focusrite, plug the guitar direct to input 1 and set output 1exclusive to input 1, then plug the cable from output 1 to amp and the cable from the amp mic back to input 2. In your DAW you can record both. Don´t needed reamp box.
I use this technnic with Focusrite 6i6, recording DI and signals processed through different signal processors.
Thanks!
It's been a while since I shot that video but:
1. Didn't I do that? At least that's what I do when recording demos etc. and I've done quite a few videos using different plugins like Ignite, STL Tones, JST etc :-)
2. I've found out that tube amps don't sound good / the same when reamping if you're not using a proper Reamp box but whatever works for each of us is fine :-)
@@EugeValovirta230V Yeah, you did. I know is the pro technnic or at least the most common theory about reamp but, reamp box cost same as interface or more and maybe, maaaaybe, for the home studio standard budget ... is not a necessary item to buy. And of course, reamping with Radial boxes sound different, radial boxes coloured the signal
Cool! 😊
I’d say if one has budget to buy a good tube amp one should invest a bit more and buy a reamp box also. If one needs one. I hardly use it when recording albums ’cos I have a bunch of amps but occasionally if someone wants me to reamp something I use it 😊
Hello, Euge! I have a problem with my recording guitar! All active pickups (EMG/Seymours) into scarlett 2i2 (1gen/2gen)...the DI signal is clipping and being compressed! even all levels on minimum! would DI-box help with this? Thank U!
Hi Alex,
That’s strange. Please make sure you have the instrument switch selected. DI box converts an instrument / line level signal to microphone level signal and is needed if an audio interface don’t have an instrument level input.
@@EugeValovirta230V Yes. Scarlett 2i2 has the INST selection on each input! Switched on it, Gain on 0... upset((( i've heard that with active pickups may use as line as inst mode but... nothing changes just volume of the signal, and also i hear clipping and see the compression of the wave
@@EugeValovirta230V So. Thank u Euge anyway!!!)) I hope i will find the solution!
@@EugeValovirta230V Hello, Euge! It was freakn cable, bad condition of connectors! Changed it, problemo solved!!!))
👌😎
Hello! My Focusrite 2i2 goes RED with the knob /all/ the way down straight from my guitar. Is that expected? What should I try?
Hello! Try pressing the instrument knob 😉. It should blink green when you play and if it goes yellow / red dial it back.
@@EugeValovirta230V hi, thanks for answering! What I mean is the switch is on "Instrument mode" and the instrument knob - is that the level? - it's at 0, all the way down. Even a two string power chord played at a decent chunk sends it into immediate red :(
I made a short vid!
ua-cam.com/video/n9Hyhi9wJos/v-deo.html
Oh damn. I checked out the video and I’m as confused as you now 🧐. I suggested contacting Focusrite’s customer service: support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
@@EugeValovirta230V ok cool! Glad I'm not just missing something simple. Will do! Thanks again!
Sorry I couldn’t help but I’m pretty sure they’ll help you out 👌
I`m very new to this. Please. how did you get the DI signal and Guitar signal in different tracks. I`m using a DI box + Interface + Amp + Reaper (DAW). I don`t have a reamp box.
With a DI box; the main out signal from the DI box into audio interface and the through out signal from the DI box into the amp 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Yes I did this, but when it comes to the DAW I don`t understand what happened. As, it supposed to have a track with amp sound and another one only DI. but both of them I can hear the amp :(
You need to set the imput in the DAW that one track gets the DI signal and one gets the mic’d cabinet (or reactive load if you’re using one instead of a mic’d cab) signal 👌. Lets say your DI is going to input one on your audio interface then you set the input 1 on the track to record that. And lets say your mic’d cab is going to input 2 on your audio interface then you set the track to record input 2 in your DAW and so on 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V it makes sense. But the funniest thing, my amp comes with DI Box included lol ! So, my guitar is connected to the amp, then the out put DI Box of the amp go to my interface. it`s like there`s one Input lol. I tired to change but in vain.
Oh that’s completely different thing; now you’re getting just a direct signal from the amp but not a direct signal from your guitar and that’s the whole idea of a DI box; you split the signal before it goes to the amp. The direct out from the amp is just if you want to connect it to another amp for more power / volume or record the amp without a cab and add an impulse response in your DAW by using an IR loader.
Can you only monitor with headphones since the monitor output knob is on full blast?
Basically yes and since the other output is being used to send the signal out to Re-Amp box.
@@EugeValovirta230V ty
What are you using the DI Box for?
EDIT: It is shown at the end
This is an old video so can’t remember my signal chain anymore on this one but probably what DI boxes are used for in general 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V I didn't finish watching the video, You did show at the end.
I just ran into a problem regarding levels. When I record a DI that has a wide dynamic scope, what sounds fine through the amp is unusable as a DI.
For instance, if you ride your volume pot throughout the song, playing cleans with the volume on 2-3 and rhythm on 7-9 (like you would playing live), the dynamics of the DI range from -50 to -5. When reamping this signal through all the gear, the noise floor rises way too high.
Is it not possible to reamp a guitar take with dynamics and gain controlled from the guitar the old school way?
Cheers!
I use Radial’s JCR Studio re-amp box and haven’t had any problems ever 🤟. It’s quite important to use a hi quality one which converts the line level signal from DAW / audio interface to instrument level signal for the amp. If that isn’t done correctly those kind of problems may happen. But if you have a hi quality re-amp box then I can’t unfortunately help 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V Kiitoksia vastauksesta!
I now use a good Signal Art re-amp box so that is not really the issue.
Interesting that you have never encountered this as I see you sometimes ride the volume too. It's really a DI gain staging problem. I've tried running into compression first but that adds more noise. Perhaps it's best to just track cleaner parts separately.
Cheers
To be honest I pretty much never re-amp myself ’cos I have quite a bit of different amps to get many different tones so no need for re-amping ’cos I pretty much know what I want on the way in so I very rarely even record a DI.
I mainly use it when mixing stuff for others and they have provided me DIs ’cos they want my amps on their recording dialled by me 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks, I see your point. I'm experimenting with tracking a whole band in the same room and re-amping the guitars and bass after, through the same amps, so I can get a clean drum take but keep the energy of playing together.
That’s really cool way of doing that 👌🤟.
Do you have to have a reactive load IR?
With tube amps you have to always have a load; a speaker cabinet or loadbox. Without one the amp will most likely blow up.
Euge, many people says that a simple DI box like the J48 would work exactly as ReAmp box! What do you think? 🙄
DI box changes instrument level signal to microphone level signal and when you’re re-amping a signal from your DAW (which is line level signal - audio interface - AD/DA conversion an so on) it needs to be converted into instrument level signal for the amp so you need a device which does that and that device is a re-amp box 👌.
So a DI box doesn’t work like a re-amp box. I guess many people have never (professionally) re-amped then 😎.

This may sound like a dumb question but why didn’t you just record it in the first place with the amp and pedals?
I could not have to film this tutorial then.
sorry to bother u again but i can't seem to find output options for individual tracks in garageband. it looks like ur using garageband and i can see that ur able to change the output for individual tracks. what am i missing? the research i'm seeing says that garageband doesn't have the option but it looks like ur using a way cooler version of garageband than i have. i am missing something f'sho! please help. thanks.
I’m using Logic Pro X. I’ve never used Garageband so no idea about that 😊.
The list of the gear and the links are in the description 😉
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks. my issue is that garagbeband doesn't allow output options for individual tracks. i forgot that i ran into this problem years ago. guess i need to upgrade. thanks for taking the time to help me. also, i didn't realize logic pro looked so much like garageband. i guess GB is basically the "try before you buy" version of logic pro hahaha
Indeed 👍😎
so, if you dont have a "reactive load" ??
Mic’d cab then.
i used 2 think that "can do" with only headphones i guess it was naive.
i,m into kinda "shoegaze post rock2 with distortion and lots of reverb and dirty recordings
i already put ev on the right position FINALLY MI QUESTION, SORRY : (the output 2 of the interfase in to the input of reamp output one behind of the reamp in to the pedals and amplifier. )
in the amp sounds ev it sounds in to the computer. it,s the right configuration?
sorry 4 this MESS.
what if i dont have a loadbox?
Then you use a (mic’d) cabinet 👌.
Where is the DI peaking on the meters?
I usual record at -10/12 and often find it lacks guts and tone. I found some DIs online which were -5 and work much better with amp sims.
I’m not much of a numbers guy so wherever it sounds the best 👌.
Its now mic level 12:20
Does the 2i2 only work for reamping through the right channel? I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, have to create mono out buses. Thanks man.
