3 Simple Ways to Mix with Guitar Amps & Pedals in the Studio (With a Reamp Box!)

Let's look (and listen) to a few examples of how you can use a re-amping box to use your guitar amps and pedalboard for mixing and making music in your studio. You'll learn how you can re-amp anything, including guitar, keyboard, and more!

“He’s a wealth of knowledge!” As my gran used to say. Thanks for the video, very useful information!

[upstairstudio]

AND you use reaper!? Holy moly this channel deserves so much more clout. thank you thank you thank yoooou!!!

[gwendolinkirkegaard]

Just a quick add, if you have an interface that lets you rout different signals to different outputs, you do not need to split the signal before the interface with a DI - simply plug the guitar into your interface (given that it has instrument ins, but most nowadays have) and route the Monitoring of it to one specific output of the interface. This output then goes through the reamp box to the amp.

This has the advantage that you play with exactly the sound of the input DI signal - ie the sound you will reamp with.

At first I was a bit stressed out by how strong the DI signal should be and about dialling in the volume knob of my reamp box, but using this method I can directly control how it will sound later when reamping - because I’m already using the DI signal I will be tracking with later on.

Loved the vid, I have been able to use your channel to explain complicated audio topics to bust a lot of myths going around with a lot of the dj's I work with. A video on bit depth in digital audio would be a great addition! Thanks for all you do Kyle! Big ups!

[zachshoup]

you’re the goat man, thank you for all your videos, so helpful

[hardwaypenny]

your video is always easy to learn. awesome job!

[davidhiggen]

Commercial reamp boxes seem rather expensive for what they contain: I'd probably just knock one together myself. But then I have an EE degree and am comfortable using a soldering iron!
Actually though, these days I just use software VST plugin amp and cabinet sims for re-amping; there a lot of quite good ones available. I downsized my studio when I moved back to the UK from the US a year or two ago: couldn't really justify shipping a ton of amps etc.
Good job on the video: there's a lot of bogus folklore out there about audio engineering, but your tutorials seem consistently accurate and helpful.

Огромное спасибо – очень полезное видео, которое мне помогло разобраться во всевозможных коммутациях и роутинге при реампинге.

Ugh I came here looking for a reamp box reference and now want to buy another zvex pedal 😅 their stuff is just soooo goood!

I miss your videos on mixers

But I still love these ones

Do you have a series on digital mixers

[zizouel]

I wish if you could do live videos to explain more, smoke comes out of my head very soon when u start explaining. If you do lives, they will be extra helpful //

I also was meaning to ask if i can connect my amp head through the sound card

[djvoiceless]

Can I use a regular DI Box inverting its use? instead of output being input from the interface, and input as output being in instrument level?

[HubertMurrayMusic]

Thanks for this. Made the reamp much clearer for me. Would it be wrong to split the guitar input to come out to the pedal board and also into the interface (clean) and then a thru to an amp (mic on amp). That way you have 3 sources from the one guitar signal.

[korkenknopfus]

I work that way you teach here. Just like your DAW, Cubase allows using external inserts too, what is very cool when I want to use my own pedals over an already recorded track. But until today I haven’t tried using a send to an FX track, inserting my external effects in this FX track. I am not sure I will be able to print that, because Cubase doesn’t generate audio files over FX or group tracks. I guess in this case I should use a duplicated track and insert the external pedals in the duplicated one, and later balance the mix between dry and wet.

[Rad_Pug]

I paused the video to look at the pedals. Habit. Cool video. Take care.

[andrewbraven]

A turtoial on powered mixing console would be of great just like your videos always are

[pywidem]

Can‘t I just use the direct output from my interface using a very low level? 300 bucks seems a little bit too expensive for just attenuation

[frozenmist]

Why would you use a DI box before the interface when interfaces such as the RME have an instrument level input on the front and are able to take a guitar input directly?

[gibson]

The outputs from audio interfaces are TRS, yet the input of the Reamp box is XLR. This is dumb...LOL. I don t like using those plug converters, the reamp boxes should have also a TRS input. Very few have. Nice video as usual Kyle, Thank you :)

[GreenDg]

One of the best videos.

I Have a question ✋
I'm looking everywhere a tutorial about how to use my MacBook Pro with virtual effects pedals etc for a LIVE cession but NO ONE have any instructions about how to do it or what devices or configuration I would need to avoid any damage in my equipment, every video is only focus in studio recording 😕but I'm more focus in LIVE cessions and I don't wanna hear the word studio for now.
The equipment I have is:
- A Marshall DSL40 amp tube combo.
- A MacBook Pro with Amplitube 5 and Guitar Rig 7.
- A Universal Audio Arrow audio interface.
- A Behringer midi foot controller FBC1010.

So... can I connect the mono output from my audio interface directly to my Marshall input?
Do I need a reamp box or a similar device and what would be the configuration?
I would appreciate your help .
Thank you in advance.
