I tried reamping (with RedEye) the D.I. tracks I made with my 7 string guitar. The bass was too muddy no matter how much the bass was backed off. The guitar was tuned to drop A and I made sure the signal didn't peak above -3.
When playing through the amp while recording the D.I. signal the amp sounds great. Playing the D.I. back thru the amp it sounds a lot different. If I use the same guitar and don't play on the lowest string the D.I. plays back fine. So, I'm thinking there is something wrong with the way I am tracking the D.I. using that guitar. The only thing I can think of to try is adjusting the pickup on the bass side... but like I said, it sounds very good playing through the amp. This is the first 7 string I tried recording and I even bumped up the low B's string gauge because of the lower tuning.
Does anyone have any experience with this and know what the problem could be?
