I personally was never happy with the reverse DI thing for a reamper. I would suggest you should find some other $99 item to take a pass on, and get the reamp box. I would think that a good sound on the bass in the mix, with minimal bleed in the tracking room will please your clients quite a bit.Ĭonsidering the sheer size of your projected future purchases, I think your proportionality for 'saving money' is out of whack. If you want to make more money, you will need to please your current clients. If you are saving up for several compressors and a 2" 24-track, this will not even put a dent in that figure. If you are saving up for just one compressor, you will need to buy ten reamp boxes before your piggy bank is exhausted. It really opened up reamping as an everyday tool instead of some weird 'experiment'. With it, the promise of the reamping workflow was finally realized, where it was not before. Getting my first proper reamp box was huge for me. In fact, I would rather use a software amp sim than that weird kludge with DI box and adapter cables. You can get it loud, and you can get it distorted, but the amp simply does not sound or respond like a real guitar or a real bass is going through it. Hope any of you have time to drop me some advice.I personally was never happy with the reverse DI thing for a reamper. Hope any of you have time to drop me some advice. So have to watch gainstaging carefully.Īny advice? Perhaps I should just get a reamp box but I need more compressors and trying to get in a financial state for expanding to 2" 24 track so if it can be done with just a bit harder work but without cutting any corners sonically I'd be over the moon. Somehow reamping seems the most appealing but I fear building up too much noise or ending up with a dull lifeless sound due to all the extra electronics. The DDA got loads of routing oppurtunities and I know it pretty well, it might be the only thing that can make my girlfriend jealous My setup is based around a DDA Q desk and a Fostex G16 16-track tape recorder and I WON'T go digital and I can't afford a Studer and can't be bothered to discuss this matters in this thread I had some success with the latter earlier but that was for a sludge metal band that wanted everything to just sound ugly This is sort of 70's rock, so no cheap lo-fi sounding stuff. In this manner we don't have to worry about the bleed and can let the amp roar. Would much prefer cutting the rhythm section live for the next song and being in a dillemma if I should record him live with a split signal (clean DI with a bit of compression and a MD-421 on the fuzzy bascab and blend to taste during mix) and accept some bleed into the overhead or only run DI and reamp him after. I've gotten used to getting nice clean or semiclean basstone by just DI'ing with light to modest compression to tape but with fuzz its a different story. We ended up redoing the basstrack as it lacked texture and guts. Last session I tracked him live with the drummer and the rest of the band for reference and live feeling and recorded him DI, fuzz to tape and all. I wondered how it's possible to reamp a bass without a reamp box?Ĭurrently recording a very nice rock band and their bass player has a distinct sound with a whole lot of fuzz.
