How to capture your guitar amps with Neural Amp Modeler (NAM)

*edit* I realized after I posted the video that input 1 was set to line instead of instrument. I usually use a DI box into input 1 with xlr but decided not to use it for this video to keep it simple and go straight to input 1, but didn’t make the change to instrument input type. No biggie. Process still the same 🤘

This is the process I use for capturing my amps with neural amp modeler. Nothing fancy. I hope it's helpful for people starting to make their own captures. Please subscribe if this was useful!

Enjoy some of my random music in the background that I've made over the years!

I can't express how grateful I am! You truly did an amazing job! I was looking for a simulation of the preamp stage of these wonderful amplifiers 🤘🔥

Your pace and patience is appreciated master Obi-Juan. Exciting stuff, good times.

I'm new at this and don't yet have a D.I. or a loader box but at least now I know how they are used in the signal chain and I thank you for that. This is the best video that I have come across that explain in detail the signal chain for use with NAM.

[StrongBornBullies]

Great video! I would like to see a video on levels. And your focusrite control and level setup

[alecse]

Thanks for this nice video . now I understand

Two small critique, your mic was a little low in comparison to say the end music that doubled in volume. Second, I didn't see a buymeacoffee or anything, I think you totally deserve something for all your work. Otherwise this was an excellent tutorial, and thank you, I have some gear I want to do soon.

One question in your opinion, is the 1000 epochs worth it? I know your stuff sounds a few, notches above most other captures, so was questioning if that had to do with it? Anyways, thanks again amazing captures, and can't wait to see more content.

Hey Obi, thanks for this video. I had a question and willing to pay for this advice. I am currently trying to make a model of my Neve 1073. We are using a DI box, and out of the DI into the 1073. All things being equal, we keep getting an error message saying “Your gear doesnt sound like itself when played twice!” Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Can I do interface output directly to the amp and then record with a mic? Cuz I don’t have any other gear

What sample buffer size is your audio interface?
I can not train with the captured data yet.
num said "Your recording setup is really noisy". End esr does not become smaller.

I own combo amps how do you capture full rigs amp with speaker the whole darn thing?

[pawelczerniakiewicz]

Hello. Is it possible to capture a vst chain not a real amp? For example a BOSS HM2 VST + some AMP SIM?

[mehstudio]

Its possible convert IR preamp wav files to NAM Files? Exist a convert to made this process?

[juanwaissman]

im in mac. i download anaconda and i cannot open the trainer. I get the anaconda browser

[Lyndon]

how to do this with an audo interface only?
