I’m not sure why, but it never fails for me to be disappointed whenever I use an amp sim.
Whenever I plug in my guitar directly into the DI and load up an amp sim with a cab ir, it just sounds super flat. No dynamics, no life, just very lack luster all around and I have no idea why.
I have recorded guitar tracks while running a distortion pedal into a Mooer Radar Cab IR Loader and it sounded very good. But cannot for the life of me get an amp sim to sound nearly as dynamic when I run just my guitar into the DI
What gives?
How are you hearing it? Nice speakers or a nice set of headphones? I’m guessing that’s the difference.
I’m using two rock it jbl speakers and a pair of AT5050. It’s not the speakers.
I put in a dying fetus song to use as a mix reference and when compared side to side, the dying fetus guitars sound like they’re actually alive and extremely dynamic.
Are you doubling the tracks? Like recording the same parts twice (not duplicating them) and panning them hard left and right?
If you compare your guitar playing to a recorded track, keep in mind many times guitar parts are doubled, even quadrupled…
Yep have two tracks, one panned hard left and the other hard right
I guess it might be a good idea to share a recording? As an edit to your post? Idk.
Shared
shared where? I’d like to hear it but don’t see a link…
Someone pm’d me and said my personal information was showing.
