Amp 100%
I feel the amp was warmer and had more"twang"
I learned to always record a DI a track as well as with an amp or amp simulator. You can always use a re-amp box which converts the recorded line level signal back to instrument level, should you chose to use an actual amp. You can then record the amp with a mic or mics of your choice. Just more options and different colors.
Amp def
Tldr – amps are still better and people still record with them.
No di sounds round and fuller
The amp sound really différentes, i think it's not the same setting but amp is the best
I’m recording a new track with no amp but I’m using a Joyo Ac tone into a cabzeus mono.
John Lennon used direct injection on his guitar for Revolution, and then pushed the needles into the red
This comparison doesn't make any sense. The people who gain anything from this are ignorant
Tube amp for the stage DI for the studio.
i feel like you just maybe don’t have the right mic or the proper recording technique if you aren’t satisfied with you amp sound into mic.
100% the Amp sound! DI sounds lifeless and sterile.
Don’t they make guitars to look like that now? So it doesn’t really say much any more ????
D.I.s are not “preferable,” now or ever.
I know you guys love your distortion. But if you were to try playing something clean through any of the DI models, you would see where the come up short, both in genuine pure tone and player dynamics. And you really should be taking better care of that Strat.
You should compare saturated sound too ????
Saturated DI sound can be REALLY shitty
The only real complaint I have at this point is that DI has too many options if you don't know what you're looking for. I think both are totally valid tools. I also don't own a nice enough setup where I can get 0 latency playback.
bro literally bro that boss digital guitar pedal next to the POD. it was like "what camp you in bra?"
You don't even need an amp simulator. Some of the most iconic guitar solos of all time were recorded by plugging the guitar straight into the board/console. Zeppelin's Black Dog and Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall pt 2 are just 2 examples off the top of my head.
Closed my eyes during the first watch so I wont be affected by placebo. Preferred the 2nd one and told myself this must be the amp one. And yup. D.I. One sounds nasally
Amp, always amp.
I still only use amps because I love my feedback.
Boomer vibes as if every teen isnt playing some typa strat ???? lol
Amp, no other way
DI makes more sense sinse you can try different amp simulations. There is no wrong way of recording as long as the final product rocks.
Closed my eyes before the samples. I use both and couldn't tell which was which and liked both of them for slightly different, but ultimately similar reasons. Future is now
Looks like trey anastasio.
Bro, your whole pedophile take on this was cringe af.
The amp still sounds better.

I hung out with the guitar player from pond and he told me if you want a great guitar tone for recording you should plug straight in. I wouldnt recommend this in the average setup. You want a transformer coupled preamp to go into or you can use an analog fuzz and go di like eagles of death metal. The whole amp sim thing is a different vibe its gonna be better than a lot of miced sounds because of rooms and a lot ofnother factors. I like the idea of being creative and productive and reamping if you really think the music calls for a certain amp/micing setup. I prefer tube amps for live use because it hits the audience in an aggressive punchy raw way. Amp sims live sound amazing foh but dont give you that visceral live rock feel. I wanna be punched in the face by a vox or a fender tube amp and have all analog overdrive live. Sound guys hate me but most the venues that guitarist play dont need the foh guy acting like they are mixing a hit record. Take the mic off my amp and letnit fill the room i dont wanna hear my sound through in ears or monitors because most sound guys stage mix is ass because they sacrifice foh for low stage volume.
I haven’t had to record electric guitar in what seems like forever, but a client requested it for his project. I wrote the piece with an amp. while I was considering how I wanted to track it, I popped open Logic and used the amp plugin, just so I could get something down quick. I’ll be damned – it sounded dead-on to what I was shooting for, with MINIMAL effort. I finished the project as is, never put a mic on my amp!
Yeah the amp! ????
I thought ill be hearing real “DI” tones like no amp sims and just plain old clean like motown and some beatle white album stuff. Im dissapointed
Amp signal…. the di felt anemic
You should always record a clean DI track as it gives you a virgin sound if levels need adjusting after the fact. If you record fully modded through pedals you can't go back an adjust later.
