How to get feedback with direct in guitars?

[jackobme]

Is there some sort of trick here? I've got podfarm, and i've seen people put the guitar up to their monitors to do so. Ideas?

turn up your speakers really loud. make sure input monitoring is on. crank high gain guitars.

Like ATLA said. Also I've found it helps to have the lowest latency possible.

You need to split you signal, DI into your DAW, other signal into your amp, turn it up and get the feedback like normal. Most DI's have a loop thru to allow you to do exactly this.

Try loud headphones up against the pickup

I usually just put two amp sim vsts on the channel inserts, one after the other. Try a pedal boost if that doesn't do it. Not the most natural-sounding, but it works for me.

This. I don't own it but I've tried it and it works surprisingly well.

Damn this is cool. I was actually able to find a really cool sample that did it. But good to know the other tricks. I do have a reamper but i mostly track guitars in my room, so i don't want bring an amp in here.

I own it and have trouble getting natural feedback from it. Would not recommend.

It's like an ebow but built into the guitar. I used it in this song (outro 3:06):

Nah. Really.

Nah. Really.

Maybe you're right. I only know that exist, have never tried.

I also wanted to create feedback during tracking for a noisy hardcore band. I used a DI as I was not able to track through an amp so I was in search of techniques or tools. I bought this plugin but it does not sound good and does not create any feedback it can be usefull in some cases (ala ebow). Some guys create feedback by cranking the signal in headphones and place them in front of pickups. Not sure of the exact way of doin the trick as I never did it but maybe someboby could develop! Hope that helps!

Cranking monitors, setting the gain really high on the ampsim and searching for a spot in front of the monitors where it feedbacks has always worked for me so far. Having the input level on the DI higher than you'd have with normal tracking helps too. better S/N ration and you can always turn down the clip gain to match the guitar gain of the rest of the track.
Haven't tried it with headphones yet.

If you have spare outputs from your interface and access to an active monitor(I have a Yamaha MSR400) you can just output the guitar signal through the monitor and make it feed back that way. I feel more comfortable getting feedback on higher volumes through the MSR compared to studio monitors with sensitive tweeters.
