re-amp? correct method or no?

[chinchek]

this may aggravate many of you since there are many topics on re-amping.. but even after reading several threads on reamping, i am still not confident in my knowledge.

the only recording equipment i have is a Tascam US-122L.
so, i plug my guitar into the interface, open up cubase, and record a clean session. then i start inserting plug-ins, loops the riff i just recorded, as it loops i adjust plug in settings until i find the right sound. is this correct for basics?

if so, the way i perform in guitar is the better the tone the better i can play. so how am i suppose to make catchy riffs if i cant listen to what is being recorded. when i use wager 2, TSS, and guitar hack impulses (using plug in called Kier or something...) i get noticeable latency. so monitoring the track is annoying cause i screw up on my second track cause of the latency... do you follow me?
so i feel like i am doing something wrong here.

please be patient with me,

Yeah, you're talking about recording with ampsims, re-amping in the traditional sense is physically sending your dry guitar tracks out to an amplifier and mic'ing up a cab. And you should be able to monitor through Cubase while you track it with 256 samples of latency (the absolute max that I can tolerate, I prefer 128 samples). Adjust the sample buffer in the control panel for your interface, and disable wireless networking/unplug your LAN cable if you get clicks/pops. If that doesn't solve it, time to buy a new interface, I'm afraid.

I use a DI-Box to split the Signal. One line goes to the Recordingdevice, the other to my POD. While I play, I mute the Channel I record to in Logic and hear myself playing through the POD.

Ups, now I stopped lurking the forums.

What do you think about this method?

I use the interface's DI input as a DI box and I record my DI track.
At the same time I use the DI track as input for a bus that I send through one of the interface's output and I send this one to my amp/pod for monitor or register a distorted track.
Do you think it should be some latency problem?

Haven't thought about this... Need to try that out. Would save the DI Split

Hmm, yeah, you're definitely gonna get some latency, because you have to account for both the A/D conversion of your DI track and then the D/A conversion going out to the amp. Just get a DI box and split the signal man!

POD = program or POD = pod xt/x3 ?

 

[Metaltastic]

Pod = Podxt/x3, yeah, meaning an external sound source (not within the computer)

awesome, thanks for all your help

If the latency is a problem, use this setup:

Guitar -> DI jack input
for monitoring: DI jack thru/output -> rehearsal amp (any will do)
for recording: DI XLR output -> Preamp -> DAW (disable direct monitoring for the guitar channel)
