Guitar Recording: Direct in-->Amp

[Blor007]

Hi,

I recorded my Guitar (Gibson Les Paul Studio) into a Hoontech Card.

I just plugged the cable into the balanced input and recorded it on Cool Edit.

Now my question is: Would it be stupid to record a guitar like this and then later having the oppurtunity to send it trough an amp.
So you could try different amp settings but not having to lose that one perfect take?

Or is this just plain idiotic work?
This is what the direct recording sounds like.

Hey dude I wouldnt do what you have asked, but I would use the perfect take and use a plugin to give it character, eq or effect. if you dont have pluggins or the tools you would like to mod the track with I guess you would have to, but I would prefer to spend the time to do it again.

hey there, i think what you're suggesting is a fairly common procedure known as "re-amping" basically recording a signal to be sent to a miked amp at a later point. i wouldn't go the plugin route as suggested because i'm just not a fan of them and i have yet to get a realistic sound out of any plugins. sending the clean take back through the amp will work nicely. i don't know much about this, but i'm sure others in the know will chime in.

I beleive Chili Peppers did DI into the Main Board for the main guitar riff on "Under the Bridge". Anyway, whether you do plugin's or back out and into your amp...either one will be fine (amp would sound better though)...the only prob I might see is you might run into phasing issuesif you try to mix the clean DI signal with a mic'd amp. Not sure though...might not be prob...just one of those experiment and see what you can do situations.

One of my buds always splits his signal and sends a clean take to another track so he can always go back and change his guitar sound later on if he so wishes. Honestly I don't think he ever has though.

Well I'm not thinking about using the DI-signal for any means then to re-amp it. But my question actually is:

Could anyone RE-AMP this sound:

If you say THIS perticular DI-sound sucks then I can locate the problem.
Then it's either: The Player, The Guitar, The Cable or the DI-recorder


So : Could someone do me a HUGE favour and re-amp this sound so I can hear what a good guitar sounds like. It's meant for Solid-Punk so put alot of gain trough it



Peace out;
