Finally! someone actually showing us how to do it, most people just talk and dont show. Great video.
Ten crappy videos later... "Thank God, Mixbuss TV have a video on this!" I instantly know I'm gonna be fine! Thanks a million dude!
đ€
Agreed. I've watched a bunch of videos on this topic and this is the best I've I've found. More on this topic please. đđđ
Keep up the great work. I watch your videos almost daily now! Thanks for sharing.
As always, the best info from Mixbus TV... thanks again David!
Thanks! I expent a couple of days trying to decipher obscure forums and get things working, and you have dissipated all my doubts in minutes. Thanks!
Wow canât tell you how long Iâve been looking for exactly whatâs demoed in this video. Thanks a ton!
This video was fantastic! Thanks for the in depth guide and got explaining everything logically. Great stuff đ
Thank you David for your response!! i was the guy who ask about this in your livestream few weeks ago. i'm preparing my own EP, gonna be releasing later in Q4 this year. looking forward to Bella's new song!
FINALLY a video with a PRESTINE EXPLANATION!!! Thanks man, I appreciate YOUR PACIENCE, also THANKS A LOT to mention that is not about the BRAND of the MIC... and YOU even shown how to use a DI BOX at the end of REAMP CHAIN !!!
Once again this video was Game Changing !!! THANKS !!!
Stay Safe - Stay Home
That's the stuff. Thanks, David!
Hey man, I've just recently bought an insert cable, and started toying with the guitar pedals on my vocal. The nice thing with my setup is that I get "in the moment" sense of what's going on, cause I hear the effect while I am singing. Of course, once I record it, that's it. Your approach is cool cause you can tweak the knobs endlessly while the part is on loop.
First time on your channel...I really enjoyed the thorough explanation. Thank you so much!
man thank you so much, finally someone who actually explained clearly
This is a must, and especially so for noise musicians. Great video quality :)
Wow this is really awesome! Really cool video! Thank you so much David for making this one. Really like your T-shirts one is better than the other lol ;)
That was the explanation Iâve been looking for.... thank you.
Great, clear info.đđ»đđ»đđ»
I was looking to learn just that - thanks a million David
Thank you so much this video was so helpful
Very interesting techniques and you explained them so clearly. A friend of mine already talked to me about reamp but watching a live demonstration with such great explanations is awesome. Keep going with great videos like this. Best Regards from your friend François in Montreal, Canada! đŒđđ¶đ”đđâ
Iâm in the process of doing a new album with my band and have gotten a lot done during quarantine. I just finished recording DI guitars for all 14 songs which Iâll be reamping later on with my daccapo!
Love your videos!
Right on man!
thank you. you ave the best video on the internet to explain this!!! i just liked and subscribed!!!
Awesome tutorial! âđđđđđ
thank you, YouÂŽre the first one to explain it all the way.
Very useful! Thanks
You the man
Cool!
Very useful thanks đ
Hi Dave , i'm an older musician /songwriter/studio owner, the answer is Si, I am writing songs, playing all the instruments and offering who ever is interested to build him/her a track for a fraction of the cost, I had to close my studio till the pandemic is over, because I had a quadruple bypass surgery 2 years ago, so I'm at risk according to the CDC , It is a very scary situation here as far as income is concern, but yes I'm 24/7 working as much as I can, oh yeah I did buy an Oxford Inflator and a true Iron, really great plugins. Be safe Dave.
Going off what you were explaining on minute 6:00, where you explained how the reamp is connected (audio interface > reamp > pedals >amp)
Would it be possible to connect an output line out the amplifier into the audio interface to capture the effected signal directly?
Iâve been doing this too for a while now! I have an Axe I/O, it was specifically made for re-amping and recording a new track at same time as listening to playback. So much fun experimenting. Whenever Iâve been recording a guitar track I also record a safety with no FX, just dry. Then I can save a good take, then play with sound - whenever.
Your explanation/instruction vids really make a difference. Exact process, equipment, and visual teaching eliminates all the guess work. Saves a lot of mistakes! Thanks so much for showing this technique.
Hello David, Output FX a guitar pedal; You can use a Focusrite 2i2 INSTRUMENT jack input (guitar / bass input) instead of a Passive DI is you don't have a Passive or Active DI...I believe then you would need only a REAMP-PEDAL-Interface (set to INST) Should still work, Right?
Also, another option with Davidâs method if you donât want to make noise or donât have an amp on hand is to use a cab sim pedal of some type last in the chain, so you still get an âampâ sound. I use the NUX solid studio IR loader pedal which is awesome and pretty cheap, and thereâs also other things like the Joyo Cab Box etc, or things like the Mooer preamp pedals which you just treat like an amp last in the chain and that have cab sim built in đ
Clinton Maher I never even thought about that for outboard effects. Nice. So once the cab sim pedal does itâs magic, is the final output from it HiZ or line level? If itâs converting to LL, then you could just skip that last box, right?
Very cool man! Thx therefore. What is the Name of the Last pedal in line? And what if I go directly into the pedal and from there out in the Interface, without any DI or Reamp Boxes? What is the benefit, besides the groundlift? Cheers from Switzerland đšđ
Quick question: Is it ok to skip the last converter box and just go straight into your interface on an instrument/hiZ input? Is that bad? Is that asking for trouble from signal problems? Thanks for making these. Fantastic content as always.
I've done this with my arturia audiofuse but getting a decent output and input signal with monitoring on is near impossible
I wish you would make another illustrating the difference in sound quality. with or without DI big and reamp
Great video David. I Want to use my pedals for re amping into my interface. I have a parametric eq pedal ( Artec). It's 1 bands eq. Every time I re amp I add an extra band..And only 1 channel at the time. From my Behringer 204 output to re amp box to behringer mic100 to behringer 802 mixer into behringer 402 in the other channel.
So my question is David: What is the best place to put the eq? my Behringer interface has 2 inserts( in the back).
Hi. My reanp box does not match my guitar output (active pick-up). What can I use to add output between the reamp box and my amp without adding unwanted noise? Thanks
What if your audio interface (UAudio Apollo Twin) doesn't have a line out with a 3-prong mic jack, only 1/4" line outs? I want to re-amp without the guitar amp. I do have a Hi-Z input on the Apollo Twin.
Just to be clear on what I want to do, here's the signal flow. What converter do I need - that has a balanced 1/4" input?
Already recorded DAW track goes out Apollo Twin balanced Line out 1/4" -> balanced 1/4" cable -> Whatever Converter I Need?? -> 1/4" Hi-Z guitar cable > analog guitar stomp box(es)/ guitar cable(s)-> Apollo Twin Hi-Z input -> back into a different DAW track to record (or same track in that track's effect chain - either will work for me, I guess.
What are those things on the top of your speakers?
They would look nice in my studio.
Thanks.
Hi David! doing reamping there will be some short delay on a new recorded track compare to the original; Would be great if you show how you compensate that, and other thing: show how to make stereo track from mono using stereo pedals (like chorus, delays, etc) Thanks!
that's easy, if you do have latency, send a click out and record it, count the samples of delay, re-align the recorded tracks of the same amount. Check my video on hardware latency compensation, is pretty much the same process
most DAW's also have functionality to measure the latency and correct it for you (fx send ping functionality it's named different in every DAW. I've used it with both Cubase and Bitwig)
His eyes look mesmerizing. Like a big beefcake angel of rock
Hi David; a question...in the last situation where I just want to use the guitar pedals without the amp; Do I need both active and passive DI or just the pasive DI?; that part wasn't very clear for me. Thanks man...
You need a reamp box to bring the signal from the converter (line level) to the pedal (hi-z) then a DI (passive or active, I like passive better) to bring the hi-z signal back to line level or, if you have a preamp with hi-z input, or your interface has, you can skip the DI.
@@mixbustv Thanks man for your answer very helpful.
I send the output from my DAW/outputs of the audio interface into RNDI S and into mic preamps of audio interface
Hi guys! I have a Steinberg UR44 audio interface. It has two main outputs: left and right. Each output is unbalanced as far as I know. How can I connect the left main output of Steinberg UR44 to the balanced input of Radial Pro RPM?
Great Video! Do you usually edit the track before reamping, or do you reamp first? Just curious of your workflow. I normally edit before I reamp, although I don't reamp very often tbh. Also curious as to why you use the Zoom recorder instead of your interface for the videos? Is it just easier to sync with the video and whatnot? I've never experienced audio and video before so complete noob in that category! Do you have any previous videos on that subject? Recording/syncing audio to video for youtube, music videos, games, tv, movies, etc.? Thanks for your time and effort, keep up the good work!
I did that trick with a drums, my client wanted to sound like early Bathory and I reamped through small peavey rage
Thank you very much for the video. As to reamping via pedals only I'm a bit confused why line level signals have XLR sockets and not TR(S) ones, I was always thinking that XLR is for mic level only and it's usually TRS sockets on audio interfaces for line level inputs/outputs as far as I know. Do I just need TRS to XLR and XLR to TRS cables for commutation or I'm missing something?
XLR are not for mic ins only, trs amd XLR are the same, but mics can only use xlr
@@mixbustv Clear, thank you.
Nice video, Iâve been thinking of going down this road mainly to save cpu load, but Iâve got a question, when you re amp the track letâs just say vocal you have a dry tracking the original and the processed track when it comes to the final mix do you parallel mix the dry wet tracks into main vocal bus ? How would you folks manage it after you have the two track?
I like using pedals sometimes but there is a big issue with saturation plugins in particular.. theyâre mono only. I want to be able to effect the whole drum bus but canât due to mono signal only. Could two of the same pedal be used as two channels to create stereo or dual mono? Thanks
You're asking for troubles but you can try
Can I go from the pedals right back into the DAW through my interface?
Can I use a scarlett 2i2 1st gen for both sending and capturing at the same time, or do I need to get another audio interface? đŹ
If you have multiple I/O yes you can
I have a question. Is there any way to modify the chain order of the mix between the physical pedals and the chain in the daw? For example, i have a physical compressor pedal. But i want to use it AFTER an Eq Plugin that is in the daw. Is that possible? thanks!
There's 2 eqs on the track before I send it out alredy. But this is no different than any other hardware insert, so yeah just open it after whatever else you want to use (look up hardware inserts or mixing with analog here on the channel if you don't know what that is)
Really interesting man thank you!!
I would like to do that in real time, hear the wet signal in headphone while recording.
I just want to use a reverb and delay maybe an eq to, and come back to my interface (motu m4)
i know i m going to have a bit of latency but is it still ok or is it going to be to much for Real time use ??
If you feed the return of the effects you will have delay but with reverb and delays shouldn't be a problem
@@mixbustv Sorry i m a super noob and not the best English speaker to.. By feeding the return Do you mean using the preamp or something else?
Mick Gordon did this for the Doom soundtrack, but he sent 4 signals into 4 different chains all side chained through compressors and I was wondering how to do that? How would I send the signal out to 4 different chains, into a mixer, then back into the DAW? What audio interface would I need for that?
Any interface with more than 4 i/o
Hey ! it might be a dumb question, but can i use a reamp box to only reamp guitar pedal and not a real amp, using a sim amp ? Let me expalin, in my situation i have a pedalboard that i really like but i only have one real amp, a fender blues junior who is perfect for clean, but if i want to do more "metal" thing like black metal the amp doesn't sound good at all with my distortion pedal. So i wanted to know if i can reamp my guitar pedalboard into an amp simulator for the more metal part ? Thanks in advance and great video of course !
Well i think i'm dumb and you answered it at the end with using a d.i box haha, just to be sure i connect the d.i box at the end to my audio interface right ?
@@widepeepoflo there's no dumb questions, yes you can, that's how I use pedals.
Hi! Can I use a guitar preamp instead of a reamp box? Thanks for the vid:)
If it has a line out yes
I'm trying to do this at the moment but instead of sending it into an amp I'm sending it back into my Apollo Twin Hi-z input. Pretty sure I've got all the routing right but I'm just getting high feedback in return. Any thoughts?
I think you might have a send fader turned up in UAD console. Turn that right down to zero.
Now I'm getting ideas....to use guitar multieffects processor as outboard fx for mixing....wonder how that will work? Sounds unlimited possibilities if that works....
Try it and post some links, I'll check it out!
Whats the point of the DI at the end? Going in an Hi Z input should be just fine. Maybe theres a difference, please ler me know.
some don't have an hi-z input
Hey man, I live in a camping car, travel and have 24 mic's with me and 2 interfaces, together 16 inputs and it works fine here haha just recorded electric guitars with VST's and acoustic guitar today in the camper - it's pretty dry room, so also vocal tracking is nice here :)
Thanks to a good converter and good solar panels (well and good sun in morocco haha) my studio is working almost the whole day with clean electricity - thx for your videos :)
Can I use a mono guitar pedal with that like the MXR Carbon copy analog delay or does the pedal have to be stereo in only ?
I do not have an amp I am recording quietly directly from guitar to my Apollo twin to MacBook...
You can, you just have a mono signal
@@mixbustv Thatâs what I thought makes sense, Guitar center made it seem like I need a different connecting cord
Thank you!
In general, avoid using daisy chain power connection because this creates to begine with the ground loop noise. Especially when you have a digital unit in your chain the noise can get wild. I highly recommend to use galvanic isolated power brick or independent power supplies (what galvanic isolated power brick is)
Never had any problem with noise with this
@@mixbustv Lucky you!
I have been struggling quite a lot with this in the past.
@@delusionwalker8852 if you found a solution already than disregard, but I found many noise problems due to power supply go back to a poor power grid (some studios are so freaking bad)
@@mixbustv that was exactly the problem for me.
Ok I will describe a few to give a clue where to look to anyone who might have simmilar problems.
I found out:
1. The laptop powersuply might have bad isolation and anything that sits on the same power loop might have noise issues.
2. Having your room or studio on the same phase as your kitchen or any other room where high power consumers are. I had an issue in my old flat that each time the fridge compressor would go on or off it would create a spike in the current withdraw and I would hear it like a very short but very loud pop noise very annoying when you are recording.
3. Digital units like laptop, PC, audio equipment if they have bad/ cheap China power supply they cause noise of you feed your pedals from the same power loop. I tried to use different power supplies it shoved just sometimes the problem. On external audio usb interfaces what helped me was usb filter the only problem is that this is filters support mainly just usb 2 if you have usb 3 interface this is filters get redicules expensive.
4. Keep the signal cables like guitar cables from power cables away this causes noise too. Unless it's balanced cable then it looks better but even then separate them for maximum noise elimination.
So long story short, keep your power clean, isolat devices from another. Use D.I. box it helps. Get out of your analog equipment power loop digital processors as they often introduce noise and get them desperate power supply.
This is what I found to solve my issues on my last 2 flats.
If you never experienced anything like this then disregard this and move on sinply consider yourself lucky.
I used my Amp and my distortion multiple times as outboard colors. I don't own reamp boxes and di boxes yet and actually didn't even know about them until this video. I did have the issue with that I was very limited with how much gain I could pump out with both just a pedal as well as my Amp, otherwise my ears would get blown out by a beep. So I had to play a lot with the volume knob to get that right
funny how the orange mic cable on your side moves every time you make a video cut....
Hi David! I had an issue with my payment so Iâm trying to renew my membership but I cannot find the join button. Any idea whatâs going on? Hope you read my message :(
Hey Alberto, are you using the mobile app? If you're not using the mobile app and you are browsing on a mobile that's why, try to use a desktop or the desktop version or get the app, you should be able to see it, let me know
MixbusTv cool! I was trying from the app and couldnât do it. Did it on the computer and everything worked ok. Thanks!
I got 2 pedals and I connect them directly from my audio interface into patchbay into the pedal and then back to my audio interface (without DI or ReAmp Box). Can't hear too much noise.... Is there any problem not using the Re Amp box and Di Box??? What's the difference???
Any Help??
@@dwcs6570 in most cases reamping is not necessary but it depends on the pedals you are going to use. Most pedals are buffered and also the reamp box itself doesn't has to do anything with noise levels but maybe with humming problems, but I can't think of any case where ground humming could appear in this setup. If your setup works as it is then there is no need to change anything.
Quarantine is going great lol....more music on the way check your email asap!!!!
This is a great video and tutorial BUT, I'm still yet to find the holy grail of videos showing how to use guitar pedals as AUX and place them on Return tracks in your DAW..... David, could you show us how to do that, please? Cheers
This is how I do it, I actually have another video showing it, you just place the hw insert on an aux channel just like you'd do with any piece of hw
The only spare outputs on my interface are unbalanced. Is it okay to feed an unbalanced signal into the re amp box? Will it still work?
yes but you will probably have noise
@@mixbustv at the moment I go straight out of my interface via the unbalanced outouts into the pedals. I was going to get a re amp box to reduce noise. Is there any point in doing this with unbalanced outputs? Will it still reduce noise overall?
I now watched a few of those videos about using guitar pedals in daws via interfaces and I really started to ask myself why all of you people love to put reamp and di boxes in the signal chain where it is absolutely not needed đ€ Since almost every newer effect pedal (that is not a clone of an very old circuit) has opamp or transistor input and output buffers there is no need for reamping because those (amplifying or unity gain) buffers take care of all the stuff caused by mismatched input and output impedance. This is especially the case when using digital guitar pedals. It is only logical that throwing unnecessary circuits in the signal chains has an negative effect on the signal quality. I would suggest to just check if your pedal inputs and outputs are buffered and then just try it without those additional devices.
Because the signal coming from your daw is at line level, different from comes out from your guitar. And because the output of pedals output a signal meant to go into an amp, which again, is not line level which is an audio interface accept. It's not hard
@@mixbustv most pedals have input attenuators for the case that the input signal is too hot. Like i said almost 99% of modern pedals are buffered so reamp boxes are absolutely not necessary. Reamp boxes mainly have the function to match input and output impedances to compatible levels, but this is also what the buffers are there for. Watch some videos of people using synths with pedals, they are rarely using reamp boxes. And to be clear most synths produce much hotter output signals (voltage/db wise) than any audio interface. Still I don't understand why a reamp box should be necessary when combining an interface with a guitar pedal. And tbh I used alot of pedals with my interface without those boxes giving me a lossless signal quality. You just loose quality by adding those devices and that's a fact.
I don't get the YT algorithms frankly. I've been in search for a vid like this 5 days ago and didn't get this one in search, though I'm subbed, belled etc.
Wish someone made another Reamping video for a more apprentice level audio recording enthusiast, pretending (or using) there's only a 2 I/O interface (pretty common starter guitarist gear I suppose)) with a hi-z input. Especially with the walkthrough on how to setup live DI monitoring while dialing in the amp/fx etc. I eventually managed to conquer this task, with some channel panning though.
Tell me about it đ€Šââïž
