4. Next, route the inputs you will be recording from into the ‘COMP REC’ channels. Set up
DAW tracks to record audio from them - e.g. 'COMP REC' 1 = DAW 'Input 1'.
5. Hit ‘Play’ and you should be hearing your performance through your guitar rig. Shape
your tone and start recording when you are ready.
Notes:
● Level faders for the REAMP outputs are available in the Control Panel application’s
‘Settings Window’ (the ‘Gear’ symbol). Attenuate the signal if you are overdriving
the amplifier’s front end.
● It's possible to use the REAMP outputs as Sends for external equipment, but we
cannot recommend this unless said equipment has preamps to amplify the very
quiet instrument-level signal. You are better off using the insert patch points on
the Orion Studio Synergy Core’s rear panel for Send/Return configurations.
Software re-amping
You can re-amp DI guitar tracks through the Synergy Core amps & cabs as well:
1. Open your DAW. Place your DI on a track and assign it to one of Outputs 1 – 32
(Thunderbolt™) or Outputs 1 – 24 (USB). Remember: DAW Outputs = 'COMP PLAY' inputs.
2. Open the Control Panel. Enter the ‘Routing’ tab and drag the ‘COMP PLAY’ block onto
an ‘AFX IN’ block.
3. Enter the 'Effects' tab and click the channel you want to work on.
4. Stack your amps, cabs and FX by clicking the 'ADD NEW EFFECT' button.
5. Hit ‘Play’ in your DAW’s transport controls to hear the sound as you shape your tone.
6. If you want to record the result, route the corresponding ‘AFX OUT’ block onto an
available ‘COMP REC’ output and record from it in your DAW.
