Poll: Do you usually reamp or do a final recording on the spot

[Genius Gone Insane]

I never post polls but I'm just curious.

I reamp damn near all the time.

 

[deanbailey]

I think with the advantages Reamping provides, i don't see a reason why i would ever go without it.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I always do it.

 

[Torniojaws]

Well, I nowadays always record a DI track too. But specifically reamping? So far 0 %, since I didn't like how the guitars ended up, so I just went with Wagner+CurveEQ+Impulse.

 

[jesterroot4]

well if i had shizzle to do it. i wud re-amp all the time. plus, when tracking and maybe using amplitube to moniter or summin.. the newbs to recording will think.. :| this record is gonna sound wank..

then..

Smack em in the face with an amazing mix with killer guitar! and they'l shit themselfs

 

[LSD-Studio]

always

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I have a giant cock.

As do I sir. As do I.

 

[kev]

lol

 

[egan.]

I don't do it. There is no argument against the flexibility, but I really like making some decisions as I go.
I'm also a control freak and wouldn't want to send tracks off to mix and have them come back w/ all the drums replaced and a totally different guitar tone.
Anyway, I say whatever works for you works.

As do I sir. As do I.

Hahahaha :Smokin:

 

[everybody's x]

I always try to get the tone on the spot, but I always have a lifeline. things change

 

[KeithRT99]

i try the get the tone the band wants at the time, but i take a di just incase. When i'm recording myself i either commit to a sound. otherwise i track all di then reamp the di after i'm done with my takes.

 

[slashvanyoung]

I also reamp a lot but I keep the original tracks in the mix most times too, because I usually blend different amps/settings instead of heavy eq-ing on the original one.

 

[JeffTD]

I'll spend a good bit of time getting the tone as right as I think it'll be the first time, but take a DI as well. So far, I've only had to reamp one project. There's something about committing to a tone and sticking to it for the remainder of the project that gives a different vibe than reamping, IMO. I dunno what it is, but I don't reamp unless it's necessary.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

I always take a DI.... & reamp quite often. I like being able to dial in the tone precisely to what the project needs. Sometimes I'll reamp a project 6, 7, 8 times until I'm happy. Yes, you could consider that "obsessive" but hell, it beats watching sports!

I agree.

That and I dont own a reamping device.

lol Then I won't mention how many times I end up reamping if that's obsessive

I used to go without reamping, but In most cases the clients are kids or younger guys that can't really afford a lot of studio time, so to save time i don't spend too much time getting a good tone and worry more about tracking perfect takes.

That's one of the advantages I meant in my first post.

 

[Sloan]

I haven't gotten into it, but really want to do it.

 

[Let it burn...]

I always record a DI-track of the guitars so that i can use it as a reamp track if the final guitar sound turned out bad. It's some sort of safety line
