RME interfaces are excellent for reamping, on the fireface 800 i use you can set the line output level to a hi gain setting which brings the dis to the perfect level for reamping through my radial j48. This also depends on if you properly set levels for getting the di
Really interesting and helpful video, thank you. Once you have created a matched EQ profile for a specific guitar, amp and cab, can you save it and reuse it for other songs, provided you’re using the same pickup, volume and tone settings on the guitar, and the same amp and cab (but with different gain and eq settings on the amp)? Or would you have to go through the EQ matching process each time?
Maybe you cover this in your other videos, but I think something to note is what DI box and Reamp box you are using. These are both points of coloration in your tone. You can get more "transparent" DI (ie: Avalon U5) and Reamp (Radial JCR Reamp) and that alone gets you much closer to the direct guitar sound without any post-production adjustment. Obviously, this is a great technique for those that are using some sort of instrument input on their interface and an affordable reamp box.
You don't need a sine way or slide or anything, just play some chords across the fretboard. Tone matching eq plugins don't care if you stop at a note, or play long or short notes, all they care for is the frequencies you generate.
first example, i like the regular re-amp best. i could imagine that double tracked might not be the beefiest tone but would offer the most articulation. for me, with fast, down tuned metal articulation is key. Still a pretty sick plugin, might need to get this.

but i thought the purpose of reamping is to switch your initial amp recording because you dont like or it doesnt fit in the mix etc. So what I would do is use the DI signal and run it thru a different amp with a changed sound that just fits better. Is there something wrong doing it that way? Clipping the DI into reamping still is a cool trick and this frequency matching is also pretty thought out. Good job!
Yeah the start of the video is kind of irrelevant because you would never reamp to achieve the same tone you already have, and you could compensate by turning the gain up on the amp if you wanted more gain.
The whole concept of this video is the idea of “does reamping itself change the tone of the guitar through the same amp.” As in, does the process of reamping make the guitar sound worse than if it was plugged directly in, not finding a better tone
@@pratherbby but the video is about trying to achieve a more authentic tone rather than explaining why it's different. So people are being given information that doesn't really match the title. Also I don't understand why he's trying to recreate the sound of the clean channel when in the original recording it wasn't used. That's like sending the signal through the clean channel and then through the dirty channel. It doesn't make sense. No one does that and a DI track isn't supposed to sound like a clean channel
All that looks pretty messy to me. All is just about input impedance, cable length and input volume level... Match both configurations and this should be perfectly identical. If not, it is easy to make some exciting coils to measure the guitar pickups response in the 2 different configs to extract the EQ ratio for correction... But that should not be the way to go because of SNR or if volume or tone knobs are moved during playing it doesn't answer the same depending on the chain used.. So you really want to match your recording chain with your straight to amp chain... A very easy way would be to always work in parallel configuration with the DI through plugged and be sure to have huge input impedance on the DI side (>>1MOhms at very minimum) so it is transparent and this is the lowest one of the amp that wins... All that is very easily simulated in LTSpice or equivalent by the way...
Pretty much just a digital, less aggressive version of using an overdrive in front of your amp. Works great when you prefer the raw sound of your amp but you just need that tiny extra push on the DI but an overdrive colors the tone too much
Golden rule before you record anything - spend a lot of up front time getting the sound you're looking for BEFORE you track so you don't ever have to re-amp anything. Seems like a whole lot of trouble to re-amp. If it's done right the first time, the mix is a piece of cake. I'm fascinated by the new technology and approaches, but honestly, it's all more trouble than it's worth.
Also you can spend the tone searching time after the tracking, and not be stressed about "is this the right sound ? we don't even have time to change it anymore"
That tone is horrible. Use a radial. You need drag control. Also NEVER us ANY "plugin" to boost a signal going in to the DAW \ ADDA - Like ever it will add latency. That will get rid of that thin sound.

Start at the nut and don’t stop. Excellent advice.
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant. Always learning new things from you, thanks Andrew!
no u

Holy crap this is intense stuff...stuff that I have issues with all the time. Can’t wait to get the whole course now!
You're a wizard Andrew!!
EQ matching can do wonders to your tone, I find it amazing
Had the same exact problem with guitar DI tracks, which were also very quiet (-18db) jst + EQ helped! Thanks!
This is the MAN who produced the Blueprints album by wage war🤘🤘
This is a really cool video. Thanks for the upload!

That's brilliant man! thanks
Nice!
.. like JST CLIP! was waiting for that xD
amazing plugin
Thank you so much!
Very informative. Thanks!
Is the course still available?

The DI with JST plugin in front of the amp sounded like it was choked off, it didn't sound as consistent as the guitar straigth into the amp

Your amplifier have his own eq... So you must compare your sound direct to the amp and guitar -> DI -> clean channel.
but i thought the purpose of reamping is to switch your initial amp recording because you dont like or it doesnt fit in the mix etc.
So what I would do is use the DI signal and run it thru a different amp with a changed sound that just fits better.

Or always use the same buffer and cable length also...
So he's clipping the DI before going back into the amp to give it that "hot" feel? Super cool.
Pretty much just a digital, less aggressive version of using an overdrive in front of your amp. Works great when you prefer the raw sound of your amp but you just need that tiny extra push on the DI but an overdrive colors the tone too much
The only thing this video has shown me is that you should just use the fucking amp
What if you are the mixer and you’re provided with DIs?
@@URMAcademy good point

Mixers don’t always get to choose how the material is tracked
Having a DI for re amping can be a life saver if a crucial piece of gear that might be difficult to replace craps out partway through a project
Also you can spend the tone searching time after the tracking, and not be stressed about "is this the right sound ? we don't even have time to change it anymore"
If you are wanting to experiment with amp, mic, preamp, pedal tones then reamping is a big convenience to the player.
Perspective..
Could you please use Reaper or Ardour instead of Pro Tools? Otherwise nobody will understand, what you're doing inside the plugins.
That tone is horrible. Use a radial. You need drag control. Also NEVER us ANY "plugin" to boost a signal going in to the DAW \ ADDA - Like ever it will add latency. That will get rid of that thin sound.
