my direct box is messed up ... how do you think recording a clean channel direct as dry as possible into Sonor and running it through Guitar rig would sound ??
 
That's what I have always done, you may need to tweak your settings within the software some, but it shouldn't be a problem. What would you use to record it?
 
Im using Sonor 4.0 producer edition.. with a delta 1010lt ... Im thinking of using guitar rig to layer more guitar sounds behing my mic d amp tracks ?
Guitar rig works great as a plug in but do you know how to say .. re-record a track in Sonor while manually using the Wah ??

I think he means, what will you put between your guitar and your sound card to bring the guitar signal to mic level? That's what a direct box is for.
 
I was going to use the direct out of my line 5 spider II ..it has a rec/direct out ??
 
yeah, that would probably work. Keep in mind that a lot of the tone comess from the type of microphone you use.
 
OT: Hold on.. A lot of tone comes from the Mic ?? Im confused.. I thought Mics are supposed to be transparent ? :|

What If i plug my Guitar straight into the Mixer, and used that as a Pre-amp to make my signal Line Level ?? Would that work??

Ha, what made you think that? Different mics have different characteristics. They all color the sound in their own special (or not so special) way.

And yeah, you can use a mixer. As to how good it'll sound... depends on the quality of the mixer.

Well, most of the "chug" that you hear in metal and hard rock comes from the air movement that takes place between the speaker of the amp and the mic. You don't get that when using guitar rig unless you simulate it. A lot of the "tone" comes from that air movement as well. Otherwise everyone would be using guitar rig or other direct preamps.
