Modelling: best practices & conventions

actually record the input.wav along with the target.wav. Since both are recorded together, the same latency applies and they should be perfectly aligned.

exactly!

Look at this contraption I made on my Dwarf
It is now a standalone re-amp device

File player: → to 2 outputs → to 2 inputs.
One of the iputs is just a patch cable but the other has a the pedal that is being re-amped on the outside.

This way, the signal does the same steps.

To model a plugin, I would bounce the input.wav with the plugin, instead of actually recording the target.wav, no latency issues there.

For VST plugins in Reaper, I render once with FX ON and once with FX off. Some plugins showed significant latency though (and my pc is no low end machine at all)

Different question regarding “Best practices”:
What would be the best setup to capture a (real, physical) tube Amp Head without the cab? I know of the HK RedBox that can get the pre-cab signal, but that uses its own cabsim. Can I just use any DI?

This is how @itskais did it:

Experimenting with Amp Modeling Techniques: Capturing and Training on the Peavey Bandit 112 Silver Stripe

Looking to improve our amp modeling techniques, we conducted experiments modeling the Peavy Bandit 112 Silver Stripe. Here I share with you the variables of the experimetation, the results, and some interpretations of the results in the end. We focus particularly on the data capture setup. If you’re just interested in good sounding models of the amp, this is for you. In the process of capturing the sound of the AMP, we tested 2 “reamping” setups: Using a DI: [Reamp Setup1 DI] This setup…
