Reamp trick. Run the clean signal out of the headphone jack of the interface out into a normal guitar pedal with it on but the effect off and into the amp. Best reamp tone ever.
Awesome video! Is it necessary to have a snake box to reamp from the interface output or can I just plug it straight to the reamp box? This was very, very good and informative, and a new way for me to learn how to amp guitars. Cheers from Mexico, bro! 🇲🇽✌🏼
Great, informative video. I'm curious what you're listening to when you record the original dry track. Are you listening to the uninspiring dry tone, or do you split the signal so you can also input parallel into amp/effects for monitoring purposes? I know my fingers struggle to perform if tone is completely dead.
Hello! Quick question: When you're reamping the guitars directly to the DAW, the sound is horrible (raw and harsh because there's no Cab). Can you record the sound like that (raw) and then, after recording the amp, insert an IR Loader and try out different IR's? Or is the Raw recorded sound so bad that no IR will "repair" it after? Do I have to record it WITH the IR Loader and IR? Thanks!
Hearing actual amps mic'd it's always a good reminder for not being shy with your High Cuts when using amp sims and some IR's. A real cab has little to nothing going on above 12khz while your average amp sim or effect pedal like a POD HD 500, for instance, has a lot of useless info on this range Or maybe i'm talking shit haha
fun and cool video. i have never experimented with recording a real amp and cab setup, i mainly use amp sims and experiment alot with IRs. but for fun i might try it someday. one Question. if i was to record a amp+cab in my practice space would the lack of sound treatment ruin my chance of capturing a good tone?
Just make a little cabin with a chair and some heavy blankets on top of it to get rid of most of the room sound + reduce the external noise and go nuts.
Great video dude, I would like to try reamping at some point, but at the moment I only have a basic 2 channel interface, would I need to get a different interface with dedicated outputs or can I use the out puts that usually go to my studio monitors to a reamp box?
Great question! I split the amp files at the exact points where the DI tracks start and end. I then create new files from those and rename everything appropriately. Once that's done, I drag everything back into their proper DAW sessions for each individual song.
This was really cool , did u made the ir for the vintage mic and the room ones?just curious!! And one more question do u generally mic the upper speaker or lower one?
In the past I've only just recorded my tube amp live, but that recently bit me in the ass pretty hard. I was in the middle of recording an album and found myself having to move to a different state, so now I have all these sessions that are glorified preproduction demos and have to start all over. If I would have just tracked a DI alongside my live amp tones none of this would be a problem. I have a good DI box, currently looking into re-amp boxes to get one and change my tracking habits. Sucks I had to learn the hard way, but lesson learned!
How do you setup the reamping from your DAW to the pedal / amp input? I always struggle to get the levels right and it never sounds exactly as if I would play the amp directly
@@FrightboxRecording Yes, I have a palmer daccapo. But I only have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, therefore I have to use one of the monitor outputs to connect it to the Reampbox, and that means the monitor volume control affects the DI signal level. I set the track to 0dB in Reaper and fully crank the monitor volume control on my DAW, which gives me consistent results at least and having the monitor at noon seemed to not be enough
It depends....sometimes. Generally I prefer to use a slightly different mic placement for each side to create a naturally wide tone. For rock stuff I sometimes like using different heads on each side.

Very smart approach. I can sense the attention to detail and passion for precision.
The EV mic on the v30 reminded me of the guitar tone on the Legacy album from Madball. Loved the sound from that mic.

Exactly because the pedal is acting as a buffer.
Always love it when you wear your New World Pictures tee. Great vid, mate!

You don't need a snake to reamp, just a reamp box. My snake is only used to make a connection across my studio away from my desk. Hope that helps!
@@FrightboxRecording Thanks a lot! It totally helps me.

Yes, just make sure you use a load box if you're recording straight out of your tube head. Doing it without a load box can damage your heads.
This a nice comparison, good job !
How do you march the guitar signal with the Di recorded?
the 81 and vintage EV really sounded great. I would make some IR's with this setup.
Got something cool in the works!
Its a gorgeous set up!

No, my studio doesn't have any sound treatment either. Just foam on the walls that does very little outside of slight deadening of the sound.

I just reamp my tracks with kemper using diferents Ir´s.
I know this is completely unrelated but what are the movies you used for your intro?

You can actually one of your L & R outputs on your interface into a reamp box. It's a little clunky, but I've done it before and it works!
Loved the 81s character
Another 10 out of 10 vid. Well done. Curious, what are the dimensions of your room? Cheers.
roughly 15' x 15'
That vintage mic sounds killer it reminds me of M160.
Love it alot for leads, never like 57 for leads sounds to thin and too much fizz
How do you go about lining up the reamped tracks with the rest of the song?
Great question! I split the amp files at the exact points where the DI tracks start and end. I then create new files from those and rename everything appropriately. Once that's done, I drag everything back into their proper DAW sessions for each individual song.
@@FrightboxRecording Thanks for responding! How do you avoid latency when recording the reamps?
@@dinoruler Latency is never an issue as long as you line up the amp tracks to the source DI.
This was really cool , did u made the ir for the vintage mic and the room ones?just curious!!
And one more question do u generally mic the upper speaker or lower one?
Stay tuned :)

I've been there!
I was the same way, it just saves so much time having a di box alongside. Much less time trying to fix recordings.
Thats wild!!!
Awesome vid
damn that sm81 sounded great!
What is your preference with the boundary mics?
I use 3 Audio Technica AT871R mics. You can get them for cheap on Ebay and sound great.
Sic RIFF!!!!

Do you use a reamp box? I just make sure my fader is set to 0dB within the DAW.
@@FrightboxRecording Yes, I have a palmer daccapo. But I only have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, therefore I have to use one of the monitor outputs to connect it to the Reampbox, and that means the monitor volume control affects the DI signal level.

what kinda snake do you use?
Half an inch makes a huge difference
That's what she said
I think those Condenser Mic would sound well blended with the 57
I tried it and it's killer.
You don't vary the tone a little bit left/right?
It depends....sometimes. Generally I prefer to use a slightly different mic placement for each side to create a naturally wide tone. For rock stuff I sometimes like using different heads on each side.
@@FrightboxRecording the guess that's why you'd set up 2 57's and leave, use one for the left, one for the right. makes sense.
Be cool if you made all those Mics separate IR's
Stay tuned!
Temp control room and let warm up
half of an inch is actually 1,78cm xD so its a lot
