herbert recording help

[shadow070]

I have a tc desktop konnekt 6

Plan:
record the dry signal using the Hi-Z input of the TC
Send the recorded signal through the TC's monitor output to the amp using a guitar cable
Record the amp through mic

I understand that the signal will be to hot for the amps input!
Will it be ok if i just lower the output level? or should i use something like: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdet ... er=266-240

Thanks guys

I think he wants the dry for re-amping later. Why not just get a DI that's suited for this task? Radial JDI, J48 or equivalent.

Do yourself a favour and record the dry tracks via DI-box connected to the appropriate input on you Recording-interface (mic-input) - there is a difference in the quality!

Make sure to turn all limiters, compressors etc. OFF!

Set your interface, that when you strum the heaviest, hardest chord, that it is no louder than (somewheren between) -4 db and -3 db.

For reamping, you then need either a reamping box, or if you are tight on budget, you can use a passive DI-box and just "reverse" it!

I can recommend you the Little Labs Redeye, its a GREAT DI-Box AND reamping box! It goes for ~ 200 USD new, but i guess you can snap it used cheaper...its really worth an investment, you dont want to have such an awesome Amp, and then ruin the record with un-matching (in terms of impendance and level) DI-tracks!


EDIT: there is a great guide for reamping / preparing DI tracks for reapming on the Ultimate Metal / Andy Sneap Forum, very dtailled, that helped me a lot when i first did that.
