Reamping 101

[@OlaEnglund]

GERMANS who can't watch this. This video will be uploaded to my Facebook later tonight. Like to keep this post up.

[@Manoj_Galle]

Or use proxy ;) But thank you for upolading the videos to FB. :)

[@AscentToZenith]

Brola helping everybody

[@rstlesswarrior]

Good Guy Ola ;)

[@JasonSmithSlayboneGardener]

Ola any good affordable DI' boxes you can recommend to me, my Presonus Audiobox 22VSL doesn't have pads in it every time i try to record a dry signal it peaks

[@quantumenigma1869]

What was the opening song, those riffs were fucking amazing!

[@elmo696]

Ola, your english keeps getting better and better!

[@JoeNadir89]

I play in a band and am really considering to reamp my guitar parts for out following record. This video, along with the tutorial from Fluff has been really useful to me. Thanks very much, Ola! ;)

[@AgoraphobicLocust]

H** S** you totally blew my mind with that isolation box! Total sorcery right there!

[@RxAPC]

I really like your tutoring videos, always get hyped to best myself at what i know

[@SimonRobbswol]

Sweet. I've got the reload box and need to get a grip and start using this function. Sure I use it at the moment for silent cranked recording but after trying to put together an album of 10 tracks over nearly a year (I know! ) the timbre wanders a little and as you learn new stuff the tone changes. Re amping means you can reset all the tones for all the tracks to the same datum making a consistent sound throughout the recording process. Thanks Ola.legend as always.

[@Lui_Guitar]

Thanks for sharing this, Ola.

[@richardwilliams1310]

awesome gear used in your reamp setup, thanks for another great demo Ola \m/

[@ryferguson9733]

Such a great guy to share so much with everyone :)

[@andrewwhite8638]

Great video! Only one thing I'd add! I read on the Fractal Audio wiki that they recommend having a live monitor while tracking your D.I's because the acoustic coupling adds some mids to your signal that makes the final track sound less thin and more natural.

[@JrGabuya]

That was very helpful sir. Your signature amp is now in HK and i am very keen on getting it soon. This will help complete my whole set up. Thank you.

[@xboxnissan]

Pre-ordered your new album, can't wait!

[@panagiotisandrianos8634]

Great job my friend as always.You are very helpful.

[@EmilBringsli]

Damn I need one of those ISO cabs, recording an amp with a mic in the same room as me makes for some serious ear fatigue!

[@hawg427]

Great video Ola, what are the name of the White cables you were using on this video? Thanks.

[@JohnnyRoxxter]

Great stuff!

[@mlhgurkan]

classy !!! Thanks Ola !!!

[@JpOctavarium]

This video really came in handy, I'm re-recording my band's album myself since we got screwed over by the owner of the studio we were recording at. Really helpful, thanks Ola!

[@lorenzschmidt6484]

Yeah I gotta question. If I choose my mono output it doesn’t comes any sound. I’ve got a Scarlett 18i20. What am I doing wrong?

[@ryan_riffs]

Cool vid Ola, Thanks.

[@duaneanderson6393]

THANK YOU.

[@petengproduction5466]

hi Ola, please, make video about how to get killer tone guitar on live stage. my friends and i really need it. thank you

[@MorrisonWebDesign]

Educational vid, thanks.

[@DevotedLearner1]

How do you accomplish what you describe at 1:33?

[@carlosmetalzone]

Dude, your videos are a big help for me, can you make a video testing the boss power stack? I really apreciated, saludos desde mexico

[@BorisBARSTubeti]

So Antelope, Apogee or Universal Audio? If you could make a video comparing those would be NUTS

[@QuincyKane]

Is there a way to record the direct signal of my amp to begin with, and then use a virtual cab (without re-amping)? Would the signal chain just be: Guitar > Amp (Line Out) > Interface > Computer?

[@anthonysilva5312]

Have you ever tried the axe I/o from IK ?

[@RottenChapter]

Very useful... Thanks.

[@andrealazzarini2277]

Hi Ola nice and helpful video..I want to ask you how to compensate the latency between the tracks (dry and reamped), Ii's better to use use phase alignments plugins?

[@kronbakeren]

thanks for the great video! just one question.. if you send the Satan direct track to an engineer, will that mix guys be able to use multible IR mics or only one cuz its in mono?

[@skyvader981]

ola this may seem weird... but wat desk is that?

[@bluename4]

Only guitars? How about using the torpedo reload for synth sound design?

[@BrokenCompassRecords]

i have a question... what happened to matt damon and mel gibson?

[@The666scream666]

Hey Ola! Do you record guitar double or quadruple track?

[@sirbiggithbrian]

Thanks man.

[@PHIllip324]

Damn dude, I was hoping to hear some new Scar Symmetry songs on this video. After all, you did reamp the rhythm guitars for their new album with Per, Ola. Regardless, good video on a topic I've been curious to learn about...

[@timcity]

great tutorial! :)

[@panhandlegeardemos6837]

Hey Ola. I'm trying to reamp a snare (wanting to add some effects from my guitar board, mainly compression). I'm Using Logic Pro X and an Apollo twin duo. I'm running a guitar cable out of Apollo line 4 into a pigtronix keymaster reamp box. Out of the pigtronix I'm using xlr cable and back into mic 1 preamp on the Apollo. This is creating an info it feedback loop. I'm doing something wrong but can't quite figure it out.

[@dimedude]

Any chance of doing a reamp version with the Kemper? I know it should seem obvious. Cheers

[@CreepingMob]

A+

[@obiwankablowme7964]

can you record a dry track and an amp simultaneously?

[@santoclemenzi]

Man! What's that box you opened with the SM57 inside?! It seems like a "silent reamp box" for in-door kick-ass reamping without bother the entire neighboorhood...awesome, did you build it by yourself?

[@OlaEnglund]

It's a Randall isolation 4x12 box. Definitely helpful for silent recording. Check randallamplifiers.com for more info

[@santoclemenzi]

I'll definitely do! Thanks Ola!

[@alanschrader3117]

So.... what's the point of using the iso cabinet when you're already using the Torpedo Reload? I guess the iso cabinet lets you ignore the room acoustics?

[@michaelbautista1]

Thanks for the video! Did you do anything specific with the output routing in Apogee Maestro?

[@xpyter]

Hey! What cables do you use for recording? Thanks!

[@dansouliere8086]

Hey Ola, how would you do this live at a gig?

[@adrianedwards1671]

Hay ola it looks like you were recording the speaker sound in side a travel case is this a good technique, just wondering why you’d do it like that instead of having the cab in the room

[@LowellWolfe]

What desk is that?

[@bobbyincidemetal]

Is there a way to re amp with amp simulation? Instead of having the re amp box going into a real amp. So you can take your DI and apply different amp sims to it?

[@ozfromsoitwouldbe7936]

so, do you record the dry signal twice like you usually do when not reamping or can you just re record the same one recording twice so you dont play twice

[@yrrahyrrah]

Hey Ola! How do you deal with latency when you're recording the DI signal with the EZmix amp simulator? It's annoying as hell to hear a delayed sound in the monitors.

[@yrrahyrrah]

You can never eliminate latency. But maybe you can get it down to say 20 ms or less where it's hard to distinguish.

[@Shung79]

Reduce the buffer rate in your DAW to 4 or 5. It will solve your latency issues. or use Direct monitoring of your Audio Interface.

[@whoshotya117]

Line 6 POD has almost no, if any latency.

[@campar1043]

what did u mean at 1:51?

[@martinr7728]

+Cam Par ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@campar1043]

+Martin Roussev nice!

[@martinr7728]

Cam Par did you figure it out? you posted that comment ages ago

[@campar1043]

+Martin Roussev I did

[@martinr7728]

Cam Par so what did he mean? :P

[@AlexLescionok]

Hey Ola, I've been struggling to find an answer and was hoping you could help me, what level do you track your DIs at?

[@MaxRec1000]

What DAW is he using?

[@lcndssnts]

hey Ola can i use just an audio interface to reamp ?

[@Thealeph-tavproject]

I'm getting a squealing sound when I change the input source to Return Input Reamp. Any thoughts?`

[@MetalArcade]

I have a countryman 85 that I usually use for recording DI into my DAW and then use amp sim & cab IR. But I am now trying to record an actual amp and then use an IR on that. I'm very confused if, once the DI has been recorded, can I then use the Countryman to reamp the signal into an amp? Or do I need a whole other box? There is an AMP output on the Countryman but looking online I see only that it is used for DI. In the manual it seems as though you can plug the instrument or pre-recorded DI into the amp, then use speaker mode to route that sound to a cab. But since I will only be using the signal from the amp direct and then use a cab sim in my DAW, is there a proper way to do this? Can this be done with the COuntryman 85 or do I need to buy a dedicated reamp box? And is there a risk of me blowing up my amp or interface if I do any of this wrong? I've watched a bunch of videos but I am still very confused, please help!

[@ScottyMetal723]

Im still kind of stuck. I get the concept but my setup is a little different. Im trying to reamp using a podhd400 and a focusrite 2i4 but im getting a feedback loop. I know why too but don't know how to get rid of it. I have a 1/4 going out from my 2i4 to my pod which will distort the channel and then going back into my 2i4s input to record. I'm assuming there is some sort of setting somewhere whether settings in my DAW for my audio interface or creating some sort of send or bus. Any thoughts on this?

[@Maxpound]

I am trying to record a direct usb into my computer from my amp but I am getting a LOT of latency. I have no idea on what I am doing.

[@sammytheman8994]

Can I reamp guitars(with re amp box) but with no physical speaker cab? Only using a speaker cab simulator software on the computer? Or will something start smoking? Lol

[@kotekutalia]

if you want to use a tube amp - no, always have appropriate speakers connected when it's on. But you can use amp's FX Loop to send preamp signal to your audio interface

[@stipesimlesa8080]

no you must allways use a cab or a loadbox. othewise your amp will blow away. I use this loadbox, which is also a powersoak. m.thomann.de/de/jet_city_amplification_jettenuator.htm?o=8&search=1549710410 with this cab simulator m.thomann.de/de/mooer_radar.htm this works great. so I can play and record my evh 5150 silently at home and live in peace with my neighbours

[@heyferre4864]

This video is fucking awesome. Great explanation :)

[@skreemingskell]

what is the best level to record di at? should i have my dis as loud as possible as long as they don't clip? I'm just getting into reamping.

[@stevecarlsson8953]

Did you see guys? This Randall is not stock Stan! The stock amp does not have blue leds and white lines under the buttons. Why Ola didn't play his stock signature amp? I think it is not honest, because every Randall someone buys will be DIFFERENT from the one Ola uses.

[@ZILtoid1991]

Any tips on using multi-mic setup? In modelling I never got out a good sound (imo) just by one, I always have to put a second modelling in parallel, usually with a condenser mic.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

I know it's an old coment, but many people usually put one mic in the middle, and another offset from the center of a speaker

[@bleighhh]

what if i record an acoustic guitar di signal? and reamp it with distortion?

[@dieterpete93]

Does it make any difference whether you use a di box, reamp box or a load box? I want to record the signal of my Orange Micro Dark without a real cab and use the simulated cabs of Torpedo WoS instead, so almost the same signal chain as you're using. I'm not sure which box is required for proper reamping in this case. Please help me out!

[@lndrvsqz]

what happened with Mel Gibson? XD

[@OlaEnglund]

I became Mel Gibson O_o

[@guitargogden]

How does this work when using an Axe-FX or POD?

[@OlaEnglund]

same exact thing, just exchange the amplifier with a Pod. On the Axe Fx 2 you can do internal reamping using it as a USB-interface. It's pretty awesome!

[@eranzaksh]

i don't get it. can't you just use vst? what's the difference?

[@tobyflockart-walker319]

do you calibrate your output reamp signal so that the level coming out matches your normal guitar level? i assume having a signal too high or low would change distortion characterisitcs!!

[@OlaEnglund]

yes, the cool thing about the reload it that it has a match signal, meaning while you're sending the signal from your audio interface to the reamping chain, you can also connect your guitar in the front of the reload. If you play the guitar at the same time the reload has a level indicator showing if the signal for reamping is to hot or to weak

[@tobyflockart-walker319]

yeah i thought so, that feature is handy

[@chechoguitar112]

Hi Ola, can you use a PODHD%500 to reamp??

[@OlaEnglund]

yes!

[@El_Suertero]

Ok. I will have tube head soon, but have no cabinet for it yet. Also I don't have torpedo kind of hardware. So I have guitar, cable, audio interface, PC, and tube amp head. Amp has Line Out, FX Send and FX Return. Question 1: What is correct chain for recording DI amp signal with further IR use? Question 2: What is correct chain for Reamping DI guitar signal? I pretty scare to try something like this with no experience, because I fucked Madonna for this amp head and don't want to destroy it. :) Question 3: How to remove some noise like sh-h-h-h-h (like a wind) which is I don't know come in from? (it comes when I choose in DAW what input to use on mixer track, even no instrument connected. Both internal sound card and interface give that noise.)

[@RunawayThumbtack]

What tube amp is it? Unless it's one of a few exceptions, you could seriously damage the amp if you try to run it without a speaker attached with the correct impedance.

[@El_Suertero]

RunawayThumbtack Amp is B-52 ST-100A (if you want to check: www.b-52stealthseries.com/ST100A.html). Can't to spend big money for equipment, so I try to achieve decent quality in any possible way. Better musician>better equipment, I think so. There is channel (surfacexmusic) on youtube, where one man made some videos with direct recording of B-52 AT-100A. But I have doubts about to try this way by myself.

[@RunawayThumbtack]

KeeNchiK Nice amp! Usually, amps that can be run without a speaker connected have a "silent recording" option on the standby switch. Given that I don't see any such thing, I'm fairly sure that your amp NEEDS a speaker/load (with the correct impedance!) connected (the line out doesn't count for this). Otherwise, you'll blow out the output transformer upon switching from "standby" to "on".

[@markthiry9976]

Ola already explain that, To Rec with a DI : Guitar > DI in (IN LINE, the Jack in) > DI out (XLR) > Audio Interface IN (XLR) The DI re-adapt the impedance of the guitar signal to go with your audio interface. I dunno if some DI do JACK/JACK, those i use in studio are JACK/XLR To Re amp the signal : You can use something like Guitarig or amplitube or EZmix in your DAW Or You routs the track to a physical output of your audio interface and: Line Output (Audio Interface) > Amp Input ( whatever the one you're using) And you record with a mic that obviously goes to your audio interface. Some audio interface already have an impedance adaptater, it's written Hi-Z on your input, that means High Impedance. If yours do that, you don't need a DI. I hope it'll help you, even if Ola explain the same thing lol

[@shaner36]

Why not use the di in torpedo reload? Also anyone know how to record di and reamp for torpedo in logic x. I was able to do it protools. But canr figure out routing in logic x.

[@TomWeeks328]

OLA, COULD YOU MAKE THIS VIDEO FOR KEMPER USERS??

[@fracturedskater]

0:11 DI stands for Direct injection :')

[@sammytheman8994]

For some reason I was under the impression that you didn’t need a cab to reamp?

[@KeistasZmogelis]

When I record guitars directly to my souncard "Guitar in", i get a pretty damn high noise ground, so the hush is really loud with high gain distortion. Would buying a DI box solve this?

[@michaelr3065]

This is common for internal sound cards (especially those built into the motherboard). A USB audio interface (something like a Scarlet 2i2) will be crystal clear.

[@KeistasZmogelis]

***** I am using Tascam US-100, an external sound card. I also tried Akai AIE Pro - still noise. I tried it with several guitars or cables. The noise is exacly the same even if no guitar is connected. I moved once, so even changing the house didn't improve anything.

[@OlaEnglund]

Paulius Mscichauskas it could still be ugly electricity where you live. I bought a Furman power conditioner and it definitely helped out a lot in my studio.

[@michaelr3065]

Ouch...Yeah, it sounds like you've got a more serious issue. A cpu's radiation can create a lot of noise on internal sound cards, but if you're getting that much noise on an external card, then something else is going on. Hope you figure out what's going on...

[@KeistasZmogelis]

***** Well, hopefully a Furman power conditioner would help me. The only problem - All of them have american outlets! :D Question: They have quite a few versions of those... How do I choose? :) What's the bang for the buck?

[@kerrydiculo]

Hi Ola! What do you think about recording a guitar signal directly to the interface and once it's recorded send it through the speakers output of the same interface into the amp input?

[@yohancarrier9863]

IKEA Desktop, i have the same xD Good video btw

[@unlockdworld]

Thanks man very informative last message own this video "click thumbs up or share i don't care pffft" haha. :)

[@mattman1127]

I have no idea what kind of witchcraft was just performed

[@Vrinder94]

MattThePenguin Couldn't have said it better myself gawd daym

[@greghillmusic]

I'm with ya. Every step of the way I'm like, yeah but how?

[@xmoebiusaeternax]

Wow I've always done it this way, but I didn't know it was anything special. haha...

[@ProDoucher]

Ive noticed some amps have a re-amp input these days so you don't have to damage your wallet with a separate re-amp box

[@LeDuddu]

Hopefully someone can answer this, since I asked around and didn't really get a documented opinion. So, is there a way to obtain feed-back ("microphonics") on purpose while reamping? You know, like in the beginning or the end of a song? Has anyone experimented or toyed with that? If so, how? Does that depend on anything? Like gear or distances or setup or whatever?

[@tonypepperoni612]

i wouldn't think so because feedback from a live guitar is coming from the pickups. since you are eliminating the guitar altogether that means no cool drony feedback. The DI can't send a signal back to itself or isn't supposed otherwise the whole DI would feedback, but that just my guess.

[@nidhoggvomwalde2280]

U forgot to explain what reamping was developed for.... Creating a delay and room.

[@thedarkd6804]

Whaaaaa? : D

[@Bikdicbandit]

i like cookies

[@GuitaristAidan]

[@FrissOderLassEs]

I think you forgot to buuurrppp

[@ScottWDrums]

I don't know if I just didn't catch the explanation in the video but I thought he said the reamp box wasn't necessary. Could someone explain to me how I would reamp with just my audio interface and without a reamp box?

[@OlaEnglund]

Just use an output on your audio interface and go straight out to the amplifier. It can work but depending on the audio interface it might not be optimal.

[@TmonkeyWins]

This still confuses the shit out of me for whatever reason

[@Jayrawk]

Or whatever I don't care. "Sniff!" Haha

[@tehmoron9949]

ait i aint german or stuff but why the hell are germans not allowed to watch this??

[@meatscarf9118]

ok how do i reamp without spending 1,000$

[@RunawayThumbtack]

Off the top of my head, here's a "minimal" rig: -A simple interface (like a Scarlet 2i2. $150 new) -A mic (a SM 57 is $100 new) -any necessary cables to connect things ($50?) Step 1: Guitar-> interface (record DI) Step 2: Interface out -> amp input -> mic -> back to the interface. You won't get the "direct" signal, but that's not the worst thing in the world. A reamping box helps, but certainly isn't necessary.

[@TomNYXL]

You can do it really cheaply mate. I re-amped once by using using Audacity (free) to record and the rocksmith xbox guitar-USB cable. Then put the track on my ipod, put it through a mates amp and mic'ed it with the rockband mic! Quality will be (a lot) worse but you get what you pay for. Alternatively, you could use software like Guitar Rig 5 to Re-amp.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

@@TomNYXL I know this is old but using Guitar Rig, you can basically what record using an amp effect then take them out having only the clean sound then putting the sound through a microfone from your monitors to guitar rig again? Is that it?

[@DeckardRJ]

Awesome!!! Thanks Ola!!!
