My sentiments exactly... is there a full version? I have watched several versions of exactly this and have gotten nowhere. Alot of these videos are a waste of time because they don't show you how they just tell you it can be done.

Robert Simpson still way out of tune.

Weird as style of playing not gonna lie

@@dylanskye1534 but effective for the track, though, IMO

I feel like I need to watch it a couple more times to understand

@@christopherrusch Stick with me mate, it's very simple, just very counter-intuitive... basically if you wanna use an amp and pedals, you would first set those up, then plug-in your guitar, then record... right? Right. OK. Well... not with re-amping. Re-amping means you first record a "dry" track, which means : no amp, no pedal, your guitar is plugged straight into you audio interface, with no effect added whatsoever just the clean signal and proper gain. Then, once this is done, what a reamp box allows you to do is to take the track you recorded and to pass this track *through your amp and pedal set-up*. It basically allows you to do the recording process in reverse. This is very handy because when you put a lot of effects during recording first, after that you can't remove them if they're analogue effects (not like plug-ins) and you might end up with too many effects on a great take that will muddy-up your mix. That's why re-amping is so cool. Hope you understand. Think "re"-amp = "re"-verse, it's the reverse of a standard way to record ;)

Tristan McGarr it Might be something like throwing your tracks from the Computer to the Tape and do some eq/comp there, to achieve that Tape compression and warm character, and then run it again to the PC

Record track, during playback set that tracks output to the line going to your portastudio, route the output from the portastudio to a new input and record that. If you don’t like what came out you still have the original so you can mess with it as much as you’d like.

@@brianvillage5 Damn, I almost forgot I commented this a few years ago, now I'm an aspiring audio engineer and know way more about this. Thank you for the help though! People need to know these fun tricks.

Dude, all the tricks!!!

From what I've found, sometimes with VST's there can be hidden gain added to the track which can throw off the levels when mixing....and it took me a long time to find out why. I can only assume with the physical effects that may not be such a problem. Also, I might have an effects pedal that has a certain tonal quality that is unique. That's just my experience, though. When I was coming up, VST's also left a lot to be desired. They have gotten a lot better in the last 10 years.

The point is merely that it will sound different and the experience will be different - and you may enjoy that difference! So why not, eh?

+Firstname Lastname - Yes, it should be perfectly fine. Just to avoid any sudden volume issues, try turning down the levels on your pedals and raising them gradually so that you don't clip your inputs. Happy recording!

thank you for your reply

+VikingVertigo Check out the final track, and more of Sean's music here: goo.gl/6Zt3eH

It hasn't been coming up. Did he take it down? I was stoked to hear the final product

More about preference tbh

so when you go from the output of the reamp box do you go through the fx pedals and then to the amp? cause he said the amp

you can do that

@@wookielocks thanks!

Then you don't need a re-amp box. Just record direct and monitor through Amplitube by running your pedalboard into your interface's INSTRUMENT input. Make sure the Amplitube model you choose is a good pedal platform sound and adjust anything accordingly.

+Buddy Martin Someone recording an amp from the get-go, or for a demo/scratch track/etc. may not necessarily be able to also take a direct line. A DI box (and even some audio interfaces) will often have a "Thru" output to go to the amp while you also record the direct feed. You'll need two open input channels to do this.

You need to use a balanced cable. I had the same question. I had to use a quarter inch to TRS balance cable.

No it's not. Basically the reamp box is a DI in reverse, because it takes line-level from your interface output and transform it to instrument level (what comes out of your guitar, much less voltage, in the hundredths of volts) so your can plug it into your amp as if it was your guitar. So a DI increase the voltage if your instrument-level output on your guitar, while a reamp box decrease the voltage of your line-level output from your interface.

@@jas_bataille A DI does not increase the level. It drops both level and impedance, from instrument / high to mic / low. A reamp box drops level from line to instrument and raises the impedance from low to high.

It's because there is no mid range, probably because there will be other instruments and vocals over it. Bare in mind the video isn't the final form of the song

+Tioga Fretworks - good point!

+Tioga Fretworks As a guitarist, personally I defer to the soundman. They are responsible for getting the greater mix right, and to quote Mister Spock, "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few." Our sound guys also have a really good respect for our tonal preferences. Communication and respect are the keys.

Agreed, playing totally dry throws my feel way off. When I reamp I monitor through Guitar Rig or Amplitube with some dirt and reverb and end up using a combo of that and the reamped track as often as not

Not really, it depends. When we record our guitars to re-amp later, we use the Radial J48 to split the signal. The balanced output goes to the interface where the clean guitar sound is recorded. The out TRHU goes to a real amp head dialed as close as possible to the sound we want. That way while you are playing/recording, what you hear and feel comes from the real amplifier. Later we have the luxury to choose the head, microphone position, effects etc, that better fits the song.

@@DametuAlma This. The advice to not do re-amping because you might not capture the true feel of a performance is just silly. Why not do both? Go for your sound and have clean signal recorded in parallel. That's the best of both worlds. Re-amping just gives you more options, and that's good if you're developing a song and you realize halfway through that you'd like to make a pretty drastic change to one of the guitar tracks that you originally thought was going to work perfectly but it's suddenly starting to sound a bit off.

Well, you would normally play through a vst that is giving you a close sound. You normally wouldn't play clean.

You not a fan of odd rhythms and chords? That track was awesome!

Sergio Terol this fucking awesome track... if you want to find guitar licking practice go check out another video.

hey I thought it sounded pretty dope. zeppliny.

Breaking news: Guy who tries to exude his superior musical intellect instead highlights his ignorance to anything other than a simple 4/4 pattern.

Micky Kelly chords aside the guitar was still out of tune

John Smith think of the reamp box as the guitar, set up your chain however you wish after that.

@@brianvillage5 thanks a lot
