It's been a while since I've done this. What's your workflow for reamping guitar tracks, without causing latency issues?
Here's mine, but I'm not 100% sure the tracks are lining up. It was a busy session today so I might have missed something.
1. Send DI guitar signal via Aux send to a Bus, because I know using outputs directly will not compensate latency.
2. On that Bus, I set up the I/O plugin. Output to my reamp setup. Input from my mic preamp. This is the same setup I would have if it was an external processor and not an amp. QUESTION: I need to PING, right? This will compensate all the I/O trips and the actual sound travel from the speaker to the mic.
3. Now I send that Bus to a second Bus, again via Aux send.
4. Create a track, set the input to that second Bus I just created, and record the signal.
If all the bus sends are pre-fader, I can turn down the faders for all those tracks (DI, both buses) so I only hear the reamped signal.
This should work, and it should line up, right? Any way to triple-check the delay compensation works? I'm thinking of recording some quick click transient on tue guitar track to see if it lines up.
