Hi
I’ve got a decent enough guitar, decent pick ups etc and I’m a reasonable player but I always find my recorded guitars a bit lacking.
I’m looking mainly for a solid rock type sound but I do a variety of styles. I’m happy enough with the mixing part so I’m just looking for advice on improving the di signal. Also I’m not going to go down the real amp route.
I’m just going straight into my RME baby face and then into various sims. I use Scuffam, Gtr Rig for more fx stuff and various others.
I’ve researched the matter several times over the years and read about the merits of using di boxes pre interface. Some say it makes a difference some say going straight into the interface should be fine. I’ve heard about people using various pedals pre inteface to get a better di sound pre sim.
When I listen to the di sound from the shreddage virtual gtr it sounds a lot better than the di sound I’ve got. This makes me think this is where I could make an improvement.
So the question is....high end di box ? A secret sauce pedal ? Is it all in the guitar and pick ups ? Do I need a Kemper ?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
Dan
