Never thought I'd be asking a question about re-amping, but here goes.
Last night, I was up late and wanted to do some guitar tracks. But I couldn't blast the hell out of my amp. But I really felt like recording, so what I did was get a cheap distortion plug-in that allowed me to get SOME sustain and actually play guitar parts with some feel. But, I didn't record the distortion, I just recorded the direct signal.
So, this morning I was trying to figure out how to get that direct signal to my amp so that I can mic it. What I did was take an output from my interface (US-1800), into the amp, and was able to audition different amp settings, etc.....I haven't tried recording yet, though. Is it just a matter of sticking a mic in front of my amp and sending that into REAPER? Will I not get a feedback loop of some kind? If it's this simple, why do people talk about "Re-ampers" and all that? Seems pretty simple to me.
If this works, it will be awesome. So often, I want to do guitar tracks but can't because it's too late. This will really allow me to record whenever I want.
