Reamping
Reamping is a process that adds the tone coloration of an amp to a pre-recorded audio signal—in this case,
sending audio from your DAW through the HeadRush MX5 and then recording it back into your DAW. This is
useful for saving time because you can change the sound of an already-recorded guitar track without having to
manually play the same part again.
To use the HeadRush MX5 to reamp an audio signal:
1. In your DAW, make sure HeadRush MX5 is selected as your audio interface for both recording/input and
playback/output.
2. Assign the output of the desired track to 3.
3. On the HeadRush MX5, tap the  button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and tap Global Settings.
4. In the Global Settings screen, tap Reamp next to USB Mode.
Also, make sure the Sample Rate is set to the same sample rate as the one in your DAW. To change the
Sample Rate, set USB Audio to Off first, select the correct sample rate, set USB Audio to On again, and restart
your DAW.
5. In your DAW again, create a new audio track and assign its input. For a stereo input signal, select 1/2. For a
mono input signal, select 1.
6. Locate the point in your track where you want to start reamping.
7. On the HeadRush MX5, select the rig, models, or other parameters to achieve the sound you want.
8. In your DAW, start audio recording. The track you want to reamp will be sent through the HeadRush MX5 and
recorded into the audio track you created earlier.
