I swear I´ve read all the 69 threads on this board with the word "reamp" on the title and couldn´t find how to solve my problem.
I bought a John Cunibert ReampV.2 (www.reamp.com) to reamp my bass tracks through a Sansamp Bass Driver DI. My soundcard is a Line6 Toneport KB37 (it´s exactly like a Toneport UX2, but with a MIDI keyboard) and I´m using Nuendo 3 as DAW.
I´ll describe step by step what I´m doing to help you identify any mistake:
I´m going to track my bass through the BDDI, and record its processed signal and clean DI on Nuendo.
I set Nuendo to receive:
BDDI XLT Output (processed signal) on the Mic1 Input (green track)
BDDI Parallel Output (clean DI) on the instrument input (blue track)
So far so good.
Now I want to reamp the clean DI (blue track) with the BDDI, and I expect to get the exact same result as the already recorded processed signal (green track).
Now I create a new track (orange track) on Nuendo to record the reamped signal exactly like I did to get the BDDI processed signal before (green track). I solo the clean DI (blue track), set the reamp (orange track) to record and press REC.
The result is this
As you can see, the reamped track signal is VERY low. And this is my problem.
If I raise the TRIM knob on reamp it completely fades into silence. If I raise the Toneport Mic1 preamp (or use Gearbox to add gain) I get a better signal, but it adds noise and "color" to the tone. I think that a reamped track should sound exactly like if it was a real bass guitar sending the signal (like the green track). Am I missing something here? Is it normal to get the reamped signal so much lower and have to throw a preamp to boost the signal before hit the DAW again? I think that I´m doing something wrong here, because if the reamp signal is so low, how come they even put a trim knob on it?
Please, help : )
...and sorry for making another reamp thread :/
