4.3 DI recording
This first setup is what you will use when you want to connect your instrument to your sound card
properly to do some recording and/or to feed an amp-modeler plugin. The Hi-Z (High Impedance)
instrument input of the Torpedo Reload will handle your guitar or bass signal so you face no loss of
dynamic or frequency:
Plug your guitar to the DI input and the DI output to your microphone preamplifier (or channel 1
1.
on the mixer, or embedded preamplifier on your audio interface), and that preamplifier to Line
channel input 1 on your audio interface.
Activate Track 1 for recording & live monitoring, select channel 1 as an input.
2.
Start recording!
3.
In any setup that involves a microphone preamplifier, it is important to set the correct gain on the
preamplifier so the level of the recorded track is high enough. It is commonly recommended to set the
gain on the preamplifier so the instrument’s signal will hit -16dB FS to -18dB FS (i.e., dB Full Scale, the
value indicated on your sound card and sequencer input meter).
If the DI output signal is too high for your microphone preamplifier input,
and your preamplifier doesn't provide a PAD attenuator, consider using a
line input instead. You may have to use an XLR Female Plug 3-pin to TRS
6.35mm (1/4“) Jack cable if your soundcard/mixer only provides Jack line
input(s).
4.4 Power attenuator and load box
4.4.1 RE-ACT™, how does it work?
Some attenuators are resistive, others are reactive, and most of them are passive.
