I have 2 recommendations in each category:Īny of these will get you great results, so get what you can afford. If your guitar has Passive pickups use an Active DI. The general rule is that if your guitar has Active pickups use a Passive DI.
Well there are 2 main types of DIs: Active and Passive.Īn Active DI will require a battery or must be connected to a mic input that has Phantom Power (that little ‘48V’ button on your interface), while a Passive DI does not require power. Your tracks will be brighter, have more pronounced mid-range and extended low-end. An external DI is relatively low-cost, and will make a huge improvement to your direct tone by maximizing the headroom of your signal – which boils down to more of your guitar’s tone hitting the tape. Why is this different from the DI inputs on your interface? Well unless you have a high-end interface (which may cost thousands of dollars) chances are that your interface has sub-par DI inputs. A DI box converts the unbalanced, Hi-Z signal of your guitar or bass to a balanced, microphone level for plugging into the mic input on your interface, or a an external preamp. The ‘dry’ track is a clean, unaffected track recorded direct from a guitar through a DI box. Reamping is a process by which you record ‘dry’ tracks that a mix engineer can run back through amps and are mic’d up and captured in the usual way. This means that you get your desired tone, mic the cab correctly to capture the sound your ears hear, and record directly to either tape or digital. Traditionally guitar and bass tracks are recorded live via a microphone on the guitar cabinet. What are DI tracks, and what is Reamping? A recording interface with 1 or more channels

These can then be used for reamping during your mixdown. Fortunately by adding some key affordable items to an existing demo-style setup you can lower the cost of studio time by allowing yourself to track DI guitars and bass at home. Tracking, editing, mixing, and mastering are the 4 major stages of recording, and if you’re on the studio clock then expect to pay dearly! Even buying the right gear and self-producing can be just as costly and is a risk to any band without an experienced member in the group. Its a lively community of amp techs, DIY-ers and amp nuts.Undertaking an EP or Album recording for your band is a costly process.
