We did a lot of it on our own time once we got instructions from the client (that's if he knew exactly what he wanted, which often was not what he wanted if you get my drift). So I would say over 2 hrs, rounded up to 3. Then you need to pack up the studio and leave it ready for the next guy.
Then once you have the sound you will re-amp all 5 tracks lets say in an hour, after tinkering with the tone enough. Get the right cabs you need and will setup the re-amp/record chain. Knows where the mics are and will help with the setup. I understand they are running a business but I have been doing this for 15 years myself and can see when they are trying to take advantage of me (I won't name drop any studios).Īt this rate I will wait until the crises is over and just book one hour at a studio and do it myself (finding a studio that doesn't have a 3 hour minimum is another story lol)They are probably looking at freeing a time slot, engaging an engineer or an assistant who knows the studio and wouldn't blow n expensive amp. Yes the studios I did contact gave me quotes I thought were WAY to high. Now, of course I know my song, what sounds I am going for etc but still some are telling me it will take 3 hours to reamp 5 DI guitar tracks for one 3 minute song? Its not like I am sitting there recording and doing takes.Īt this rate I will wait until the crises is over and just book one hour at a studio and do it myself (finding a studio that doesn't have a 3 hour minimum is another story) If I actually came to the studio I know I can do the job in an hour. I understand they are running a business but I have been doing this for 15 years myself and can see when they are trying to take advantage of me (I won't name drop any studios). We have about 190 amps, vintage, boutiques.Yes the studios I did contact gave me quotes I thought were WAY to high. Good practice for junior engineers and students though. But these days its hard to find the time for that, for the money we charged at least. Had "remote" sessions where people from UK and Japan were watching it on Skype and commenting. Had requests from all over the country, people uploading tracks for a re-amp.
It’s still one helluva good time if you’re into fiddling with microphones and guitar amps.Īlso, you can have direct access to my new Guitar Production Workshop.We used to offer that as a service.

Even though reamping metal guitar tracks is completely unnecessary when it comes to achieving a fully professional result.
So I decided to document my exact reamping technique while wrapping up production on an EP I’m currently prepping to mix. 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. With that being said, I still choose to reamp DI tracks through live tube amps from time to time…simply because it’s fun. Īs 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. The large majority of my productions are 100% amp sims these days. 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.
