I'm gonna try it out. My POD Pro has an unprocessed output so I can record a totally dry guitar signal, then later run the track back through my guitar rig and mic it up for a good tone. Sounds like the perfect idea, but usually everything has a downside. I've never done this before. Is there anything I should be aware of before I lay down dry guitar tracks for an entire project?

I plan on recording both the processed output of the POD as well as the unprocessed out on seperate tracks, then replacing the POD track with a reamped version from the dry track. I know I won't be able to play off of a certain guitar tone or feedback or anything, but most of our material is pretty straight forward.
 
WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UUUUHHHHH...YEAH THAT SOUNDS GREAT. MAYBE A LITTLE OVERCOMPRESSED. LACK A LITTLE BOTTOM END. CAN YOU PICTURE A BLACK WOMAN WITHOUT A BUBBLE BUTT? I CAN'T!!!
 
Uh... I don't get it.


By the way I happen to know a black chick with out a bubble butt.

:confused:
 
UUUUUHHHHHHUUUUUUUHHHHHHH

YOU DON'T KNOW ANY BLACK CHICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Back to the original question...
If you're recording digital, you will run into latency which will cause phase problems making the combined part sound a little "hollow".

I re amp a lot of bass parts. What I do is slide the reamped parts left by 51 samples (I use a digi 001, and that's the amount of latency caused by A/D conversion on that system). I hear a real difference when I do this. By zooming in, I'm trying to get even better than the 51 samples, but it's pretty tricky.

If you reamp and don't keep the original, the latency is so small that it shouldn't be an issue.
 
Yea I don't plan on keeping the original track besides just for reference and maybe some A/Bing. I plan on using just the reamped tracks. but thanks for that advice. That makes a lot of sense and I probably never would have thought of it.
 
I am pretty sure you need to use a DI between your sound card output and your amp.
