![]() My friend who was having similar problems had the same result by simply getting a proper Reamping box (also ProRMP). Passive DI, direct from interface to amp, using a native rig with an Mbox (so I could avoid running through the patchbay) switching out cables, trying 3 different passive DI's, etc etc.īasically the reamp box had 20+ dB less noise for reasons unknown. I tried it all in my efforts to isolate and rid this hiss/noise guys. The results were astounding to say the least. I thought I would conclude this thread by posting up clips of Passive DI Box vs. unplugged laptop with single cables coming form Mbox 2 Pro. Here is a picture of the clips in ProTools, (note the numbers on the left that show the PEAK level of the hiss between the two clips that I matched fairly close in level.) Something around 6dB difference between the two? I wonder if that could have been the cab's doing? I should probably do a better test where the only variable that changes is the recording rig (HD system with patchbay vs. So This example is with a Marshall Cab, and a Sennheiser e609. laziness? I didn't want to carry the Mesa Rectifier cab up the stairs from the live room. The reason I didn't use the same cab/mics was. So anyway, I did a quick test using a different cab/mic/shorter cables using my laptop (not plugged into it's charger) and an Mbox 2 pro. Does the amp never truly react to a reamping signal the same way as the guitar itself? I guess it makes sense because of the extra chain the guitar had to go through (DI box, preamp, A/D, D/A, more cables, another DI box/reamp box.) Perhaps I am looking for perfection that just isn't possible. I know Gear For Days has the Millennia TD-1 for rental there.Īnybody else with this crazy hiss/hum problem?Ĭlick to expand.So the background noise never really goes away? The amount of noise with my Les Paul Studio plugged in is almost nothing compared to this weird white noise coming in when reamping. ![]() I could rent one from Gear For Days, or Blackbird rentals here in Nashville to see if that fixed the problem. The only thing I haven't tried it direct from the converter (192I/O) and using a dedicated reamp box (since I don't have one). I was going to go back tonight to try other configurations, but the AC system is out right now and the CR sits at a nice and toasty 90 degrees The system I am using is 24inx24out ProTools HD2, signals routed through a TT patchbay, amp head sits in the control room with me and the only long cable run is the speaker cable to either the iso booth or the live room (either 12 or 10 guage). I have tried different cables, different DI boxes, different inputs/outputs, different power outlets (we have power conditioners, and orange colored outlets that are "clean" power for audio gear.) I tried 2 different amps, Peavey 6505+ and a Mesa Dual rec head. The hiss is present whether I am "playing" signal to the amp or not. The tones have been coming out out pretty good but I just realized last night how much more hiss/noise/hum (or whatever) I am getting with this setup as opposed to plugging into a normal guitar. I am currently using a passive DI box before the amp, and I have worked with this setup several other times before. Basically I have been left with more questions than answers. (both with electronic engineering mumbo jumbo to back it up that makes only a bit of sense to me). I have read a ton of threads from this site and elsewhere and I have seen plenty of arguments to why you should get a dedicated reamp box, and other arguments that say they are a waste of cash and you can plug in straight from your interface. but I have been having trouble removing a constant hum from my signal when reamping. I'm sorry that I have to post yet another reamping thread. If you know you like a thing (like "Ampeg tone" or the "Aguilar" sound), then a pre might work better for you.Man. If you like your bass, and go for a pretty basic thing (like "P-bass"), then a countryman or radial is a good choice. Then it also seems kind of weird to send a signal out front that has all this control, but you can't really hear what's going on and have no control of the FOH anyway. The whole adding a pre amp to your amp - which has a preamp is too much for me (unless you use the dry out, or FX return of your amp). ![]() ![]() I had and used a SansAmp for a while, but never liked it - which is mostly that box, and not all pre/DIs. I always felt funny about the whole preamp/DI box thing. I've lent it for use with acoustic guitars as much as I've used it for bass. I mostly use whatever DI is on my amp and have the countryman as a "back up" or for when the sound guy insists on a box and has a 25$ cheap DI box on hand. But I don't think anything you listed would be a bad choice. It has a battery that lasts for like 1000 hours, but can run on phantom as well.
