Problem with reamping.

[kylendm]

So I've got a problem here. I got a ProRMP from a family member and things aren't working out so far. I run the DI track to the amp and it just squeals when it comes to gain. No sound at all just squealing. This is what i have going on.

At the moment I'm just using the Rose of Sharyn di's to test it.

I put the DI track into Sonar 8 and selected the output to be on the Lexicon Lambda.

DAW -> Lexicon Lambda line out -> ProRMP -> Cable to TS9 -> ISP -> Amp's input jack.

I'm using a Mogami TRS to XLR balanced cable form the line out to the ProRMP. Should my output level be all the way up on the ProRMP? Anyone have any ideas of whats up?

Also I just wanted to say that it makes the squealing noise even when nothing is playing. It only seems to work on the clean channel. TS9 engaged on the clean channel gives feedback same goes to the lead channel on my Baron

Are you sure you don't have a monitoring loop. This happens when your amp sound is coming back into your interface and mixing with the di sound going to your reamp box.

 

[guitarguru777]

Its definitely an Amp / Monitor loop. you need to make sure the ONLY thing going into the amp is the guitar DI. Your monitors can not be sending a signal to the amp.

Have you tried engaged the ground lift?

 

[kylendm]

Alright you guys were right with the monitor. ^ Yes I used the ground lift but that wasn't the problem it seems.

Now I have another problem. When I go to record now the DI seems to get all messed up. It gets really fizzy sounding.

It's coming from the Line out and I'm recording with the right mic in.

 

[guitarguru777]

Can you send up a clip of what it sounds like after you record it. We may get a better idea as to whats going on.

 

[kylendm]

Alright.

Here it is.

Anyone?

I think you have a level cranked way too high somewhere.

Wtfisthisshit indeed!
Something is distorting like fuck there, you've not got a amp sim already on the DI track do you? Whats your TS and amp gain settings like?

 

[kylendm]

No sim or anything. It sounds fine playing through the amp. Once I arm the recording and press record it does that. Gain is all the way off on the TS9 and the gain on the amp is at noon.

Even with the recording of the mic being armed and just pressing play it does that.

 

[kylendm]

Good


Bad

 

[Trevoire520]

If it's ok in the room then there must be something dodgy with either the mic, cable or pre. Swap some stuff around and see if you can find the culprit.

 

[kylendm]

Well that fizz sound is coming out of the cabinet when I press record. It's not the mic.

 

[kylendm]

Well I actually figured it out. I ended up using WDM instead of MME on Sonar. Fixed it perfectly.
