I'd like to try out the Radial and compare the tracks at some point, but for now this is definitely working for me. I could spend $100 on the Radial Re-amp box, but I had all of this stuff on hand so figured it was worth a shot. I compared the graphic to that of the pre-recorded DI track and adjusted track levels and overall output level to try to get all of the waveforms looking roughly the same. To further fine-tune the levels, I hit record and let it run for a bit, watching the waveform of the newly recorded track. Radial ProRMP - Passive Reamp Box ProRMP - Direct (DI) Boxes: For years, Reamping has been the secret weapon for countless recordings by the biggest. You can reamp without a box but you lose a little bit of the signal, and if this is your first time recording guitars you may not notice the difference, especially with high gain guitars. I'm using that in conjunction with the attenuator on my DI box to get a really nice, clean, pickup-like signal. Then, the master "level" control on the Tascam basically becomes like the volume knob on your guitar. That dial needs to be set all the way to the "computer" side so that the only thing that goes to the output is the solo'd out DI track. On the Tascam, there's a dial that lets you determine what's being sent to the output - either the signal from the live inputs, or the already-recorded tracks in your DAW, or a balance between the two. (could certainly be done with just a single mic) Can't I just connect a cable right from my interface to my amp Technically, yes. You can reamp without a box but you lose a little bit of the signal, and if this is your first time recording guitars you may not notice the difference, especially with high gain guitars. But for ideal performance in a wide range of situations, you're better off with one. In my half-hour or so of experimenting last night, I found the -20db setting to come quite close to emulating my guitar pickup's output.Ĭhannel 1: DI guitar track, already recorded, no plugins, flat EQ, track solo'd out.Ĭhannel 2: Audio Technica AT4040, room mic - Recording enabled, monitoring OFF, start track level at 12 oclockĬhannel 3: Sure SM57, close mic - Recording enabled, monitoring OFF, start track level at 12 oclock The short answer is no, you don't need a dedicated reamp box to start reamping. The newer version, which is $20 via Amazon, actually has an attenuator knob so it can be adjusted more precisely. It's quiet, it has a ground/lift switch, and an attenuator switch that can do 0, -20, or -40db. Using a Tascam US-600 interface into Garageband.

So I decided to try tracking all of the guitar and bass DI and going back when I have time and access to a loud room. The time I do have is mostly time I have to create - late nights at home while the rest of the family is sleeping.

I'm working on an EP for a side project and don't have a ton of time or resources to put into it. Perfect for sending dull guitars or bass back through an amp without. It's pretty easy.I did my first successful experiments with cheapo re-amping last night. We built some smart little re-amp boxes with adjustable impedance knobs today. You can simultaneously record a dry track and a processed track. Frankencopter is correct - the XLR in is mic level - you can tweak the gain, but it's easier to use the aux in or one of the loop ins.)īut honestly, unless you are multitracking with other instruments, just using your Helix as the interface for guitar tracking is the easiest - just switch interfaces when you're recording guitar. Re-amping sounds like a great idea but I'm not persuaded enough to buy a specific DI for it just yet. Just set the Helix inputs accordingly and experiment a little if it doesn't sound right. Is it a bad idea to run a line level signal into an amp for re-amping I'd record the track to my computer then reamp using the outputs of my interface at line level.

I'm also pretty sure the XLR outs from the XR18 are line level. The Helix hardware does have an impact on tone because of the input section - IIRC the dynamic range of the input section is better than most interfaces - but you are by passing that with the XR18, so not sure if its relevant. I have an i7 10700 and it has no issues with Native at all. It even goes on sale occasionally - I got mine for $69 (I think? $30 off?).
