    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    Yes and yes! Hey, my friend said that it always worked for him, and other's have too. The noise just hit me the other day and I decided to go on the quest for a solution.

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    I thought I would conclude this thread by posting up clips of Passive DI Box vs. a Radial ProRMP that I picked up. The results were astounding to say the least. I tried it all in my efforts to isolate and rid this hiss/noise guys.. Passive DI, direct from interface to amp, using a native rig...

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    Indeed I don't think that the problem has anything to do with how hot the signal is coming out of the DAW. The amount of hiss stays exactly the same even when I mess with the fader in the DAW. I tried going straight out of the patchbay into the amp as well using a TT to 1/4" cable that was in...

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    So the background noise never really goes away? The amount of noise with my Les Paul Studio plugged in is almost nothing compared to this weird white noise coming in when reamping. Does the amp never truly react to a reamping signal the same way as the guitar itself? I guess it makes sense...

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    Will something as cheap and simple as the ProRMP solve the issue? I just bought my 6505+ last week and still owe my friend half the money for it. I'd love to have a real reamp box to try right now.. :waah: I am about to try going straight from the 192I/O output to the amp using a TT to 1/4"...

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    I am back at the studio today and trying reamping again.. Unfortunately I found out that my laptop was not my problem. :mad: The hiss is still there and is still way more than the hiss with a a guitar plugged in (almost none). Still trying to figure out what is going on. I have attached a...

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    Thanks for the replies guys! I have tried the ground lift on two different passive DIs with no change. Even though the system we run is ProTools HD and uses a Mac Pro in a separate machine room (that I think also has it's own separate circuit) I DID have my Macbook Pro plugged in charging in...

    Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

    Man.. I'm sorry that I have to post yet another reamping thread.. but I have been having trouble removing a constant hum from my signal when reamping. I have read a ton of threads from this site and elsewhere and I have seen plenty of arguments to why you should get a dedicated reamp box, and...

    Would like to re-download Black&Gold Drums and Detuned Toms (MBP Crash!)

    Got them! Thanks man. I'm never testing my luck with backups again.

    Would like to re-download Black&Gold Drums and Detuned Toms (MBP Crash!)

    Hey I bought the Black & Gold (Drums only) and the Detuned series Toms on October 3rd, 2010 (email address s a m t h 3 m a n c g p @ a o l . c o m). I recently had a disastrous crash with my MBP where I lost EVERYTHING. Some things I had backed up, some things I didn't.. these samples were one...

    Getting such tight performances out of guitarists/bassists

    I just pocket everything. Drums, bass, guitars all right to the grid. I dont like to think of vocals as "pocketing/editing" though. You can't just go slicing every consonant up or stretching it. It never sounds right. Vocals require special attention, but the drum/bass/guitars just start...

    Help with a sampler?

    Isn't Kontakt Player free? I used Kontakt Player with my SSD 3 EX pack so I assume that you can load up other sample packs into it? Or maybe the Kontakt Player that comes with SSD is a specially licensed version that they allowed Slate to use and you can't load other .nki files into it. I...

    clean vocal chain?

    Haha, I know dude. But it never ceases to amaze me how much slutty gear people can't live without on Gearslutz and yet people like Mizell and Sturgis are doing everything in the box, with stock plugins no less! :rock::Smokin:

    clean vocal chain?

    Mizell uses that Multi-Dynamic 5 plugin all over the place. He posted one of his master chains on his twitter one time and it had that in it, as well as D-Verb, and a Waves Audio Track plugin and a few others. Crazy stuff. Here's a link to the pic. There's a T-Racks clipper on there! ha...

    Chango Snares?

    I e-mailed him a few weeks back with some questions about them (your question was not one of them), but he never responded. :(
