Need help testing DIs...

[Ola Englund]

So I'm currently doing the upcoming Feared album and I need to check if the DIs will do. Would be ass to record every song to discover the DIs suck. I don't have a amp at home right now so I can't do it myself :/

Here's a short DI snippet:

Thanks!

Hi Ola, please check your link. It's not working.

I don't know if it's of any use, because it depends so much on how people reamp I think. But since I was reamping some songs anyways, I did your track too.

Chain: OD808 - Engl E570 - Fryette G5202S - ENGL 4x12 XXL - E906/Sm57 - Mackie Analog 8Bus - Mackie MDR

Settings are quite neutral. No processing.

Blended:

Good luck tracking.

Just blindly threw up a mic where it looked right and reamped at really low volume

OD808 -> Hughes and Kettner Duotone -> Marshall MF280A cab -> Audix i5 -> Saffire Pro 40 -> LPF at 10k, HPF at 100

By the way what is the pickup? Pretty chunky sounding DI's

Ampsims... but hey, this was just to test the quality of the DIs right?


First POD Farm, then LeGion (my weird C4 settings), then just LeCto.

Hey Ola. Here was my signal chain

Apogee Duet -> 5150 III -> Mesa OS 4x12
SM57/MD421U -> Golden Age Projects Pre73 -> Apogee Duet

The mic mix was about 60% SM57 and 40% 421. Just HP/LP

Od808 6505 1960bx Apex210 LP at 10Khz

There's a nasty peak at ~670hz which I believe comes from the mic basket internal resonance.

Corrected:

Did myself a gift for my birthday. Still experimenting with it. Having the tonestack between the preamp gain stage is quite a change when you are not use to this config. Anyway, it gives me something to do while not working on LeCab2 for Mac

 

[Firaxis]

just used some amp sims, i love your riffs man no processing except the sims.

Downloading now. Should have reamps up in about an hour.

I think the DIs sound great. They are very noisy however, which you can hear at the end. Maybe see if a ground lift will fix it, and try to distance yourself from any electronic gear that may give off a large amount of EMI (like your computer).

Anyway, here are some runs:

They should be relatively phase accurate, so you can mix and match in the DAW if you like.
