DI/Reamp Troubleshooting

[iraobryan]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I need some help troubleshooting. There is a noise in my reamp tracks and I need to determine if it is from the reamp box, or if something happened during the initial DI recording (Converter clipping or bad connection...).

Is anyone willing to reamp this to see if the DI recording is ok? I know the playing isn't perfect, I'm just trying to get this issue figured out. Any help would be appreciated.

edit: track is 44.1 24 bit

Seems like it's in the reamp box.
Here's my test, and there ain't a lot of noise.

some info about your hardware would be nice...

 

[iraobryan]

Thank you for the help! I still hear a little something up towards the top end, like a little extra fizz/speaker breakup...but it doesn't sound like mine did.

You want his hardware info for reamping, or my signal chain info?

That high end fuckery is my fault, I didn't throw high passes onto the signal chain.

That makes sense, thank you. It sounds like I need to get another reamp box, or maybe try a noise gate first. I really don't know if a gate will get rid of it, and I don't like to use them.

What are you reamping it through?
Some amps are notoriously noisy, IE the 5150...

 

[iraobryan]

This DI was going through my Tremoverb, another through a 5150. The noise was there with both. I will try to post my reamped tracks later this evening.

Here is one of the reamps I did with the DI from above. I know it is dark and low end heavy, but the noise in the higher freq's is what bothers me.

It sounds from this clip like there's far too much gain before the amp.

I'll try reamping again tomorrow and post a clip. I will definitely lower the gain. Thanks for lending your ears.
