Re-ampimg tip for Logic users

[mickrich]

Instead of panning the DI track and selecting the output, use the I/O plugin (in utilities) and select the mono output that your re-amp box is connected to and select no return. This way you need not worry about pan laws or watching the levels on the output channel.
I put a sonnox limiter before the I/O plugin to get get good level but avoid peaks.
Just make sure you disable the I/O plugin before you re-amp the next guitar because the channel fader makes no difference when using the I/O plugin.

Or you could just directly route the channel to the mono output that your reamping box is connected to.
Just click on the channel output, go to "Output", don't select any stereo output but go to the very bottom, hover over "Mono" and select the according output.

Or am I not getting something here?

Are you saying that you limit the DI signal before you send it out to the reamp box?? Sounds like a bad idea...

I always reamp with an transient (like a snare, whatever) just so i got a reference point where the grid is suppose to be, so i can adjust the reamped signal so it isn't out of phase. PT 9 (not hd) give a few sample of latency.

just route the di to a mono output and dont use any plugin!
logic 9 totaly compensate the delay so you wont need any snare, click or anything like that

Who's bothered about a few samples anyway? Moving the mic a few mm would make a bigger difference.

Ha Ha. I have been using logic since version 4 and am an Apple Certified Trainer for logic 9 and never realized they had added mono output assignment in V9.:Spin:

I use a limiter to prevent clipping the output just in case. I don't limit the signal but just prevent overloads.

I did the "route to Stereo Out 5-6, pan hard left, get problems with the volume because of the stupid panning law, cry, adjust volume, cry some more, forget to pan for the next tracks and get a fucked up reamp" thing for over a year before I saw it by chance So yeah I kinda know the feeling haha.
