It's probably set for instrument input level, which might stage the level higher in comparison. I'd guess his DI is gain staged differently going into his Focusrite. The Axe's DI levels are not boosted or normalized at all, so when you send them back for reamping they match the original signal level exactly. His signal is definitely way too hot, but I just wanted feedback/confirmation from anyone who reamps active pickups if this is normal or not please. I have never worked with active pickups before, all of my guitars are passive, so I don't know if this is normal or not. BUT - then it sounds weaker in BIAS FX on his side (of course I could just tell him to increase the gain in BIAS).

I found if we disable the Instrument button on the Scarlett (which is the opposite of what the manual says) and drop the Scarlett's Gain to zero, then when he does a recording his DI signal matches mine and it is easier to dial his sounds in on my AxeFX. I have tried to troubleshoot with him over a few Zoom calls which is a bit limiting (he lives in New Zealand, I'm in the UK). He is not a very technical guy and doesn't really understand signal paths, gain staging etc so it is a bit hard to tell if he is doing something wrong on his side. Alternatively, I have also dropped the gain on his track in my Logic project by about 16dB and that also helps but I'm not sure if this is the right solution. I tried dropping the Gain and Input Trim on my Amp Block but just can't seem to find a combination that works for his strong DI signal. You can see the difference in the screenshot below: I played the same riff he was playing and I used the same level of attack on the strings. His guitar has Seymour Duncan Signature Dave Mustaine Active Pickups in it, and he is a generally aggressive player, but the levels I am getting seem a bit too high when I compare them to a DI signal I recorded with my Alpha/Omega pickups (using Output 5 on my AxeFX). He records his parts and then disables BIAS and exports/sends the DI track to me to reamp in my AxeFX. His recording path is Guitar -> Focusrite Scarlett Solo -> Cakewalk Bandlab -> BIAS FX.

Apologies if I have the wrong section!īasically I'm reamping a buddy's guitar and his DI levels are through the roof.

I am a self confessed serial reamper of my own guitar tracks, but have come across something that I need some help with please!įirstly, I was going to post this in the lounge, but figured this is a question about reamping with the AxeFX so decided to put it here.
