Reamping Metal Guitar Tracks In The Studio

I was a guitar player loooong before I was ever a recording engineer and I LOVE tube amps when reamping metal guitar tracks in my studio. ​

But I’m gonna be honest.. ​

The large majority of my productions are 100% amp sims these days. ​

As long as you know what you’re doing with them, they sound just as good (and are infinitely more convenient) than working with screaming loud tube amps in the studio. ​

With that being said, I still choose to reamp DI tracks through live tube amps from time to time…simply because it’s fun.

​I’ve had a number of people reach out asking me to do a video on my process for reamping guitar tracks in the studio.. ​

So I decided to document my exact reamping technique while wrapping up production on an EP I’m currently prepping to mix.​

​Even though reamping metal guitar tracks is completely unnecessary when it comes to achieving a fully professional result.. ​It’s still one helluva good time if you’re into fiddling with microphones and guitar amps.

Also, you can have direct access to my new Guitar Production Workshop.

The free workshop is divided into three parts:

1: Tone

2: Editing

3: Mixing
