For a more "empirical" test of the difference, might be good to flip the phase on one of them while the tracks are in mono and adjust the volume to where the combined signal is the quietest.
Thank you for this video. I have exactly that garbage DI in our rehearsal room and wondered if this 10€ piece can be put to use or do I really need to spend one or several hundred bucks on some radial thingy. But your video proves that with carefully setting it up and reducing the level you can make this work, great!
Great idea and timely as I was thinking of doing something similar myself for recording an overdrive guitar solo both with one channel actually recording the amp (dual miked, so actually two channels to blend later) and also recording the direct guitar signal to my DAW) for a possible reamp. Have you tried using a XLR line pad so you can run the DAW output signal a little hotter (more bits in theory) and pad that signal before it reaches the DI box. Thanks for doing the video. You have confirmed what I was thinking and now I know it will work. All the best....Giving you a Sub also. Phil NYC Area
hey nice video, i tried connecting my soundcard output directly into my amp, but what i got was continuous feedback , also tried using a boss pedal switched off as a reamp box taking advantage of its buffers, also got the feedback, any thoughts on why its not working ?
Recently got an old JDI w/Jensen box. Manual online says for reamping with it, connect interface output to mixer, and then mixer output to JDI, then to amp. Not sure how much of a difference it makes.
would it work to plug a normal trs cable from the output of your interface into the trs "output" of the DI-box? If not, would it work to plug a trs from the interface into the XLR "output" of the DI-box and what difference would it make?
@@BrooksAudio yes I misunderstood this part at the beginning. Some guy also talked about using a boss pedal cause they have a buffer and an insert cable. What do you think of that ? Thanks for the tip.

Amazing demonstration. Congrats.

great content. I`ve seen many amps come with DI Box included!
good idea for an experiment, I was wondering something like this myself.
Great comparison. Really loved the video!
Thanks for checking out the channel!
thanks for the video, will try this out as I have the same DI box
Thanks for this!

Not sure how much of a difference it makes.
Depending on the amplifier input and other electronics the difference could be subtle or night and day. It's all about trying it out.
Great! subbed!

Thanks for the vídeo.
Very good. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video 😊
Thanks for the comment Roberto! Glad to be able to share some ideas :D
will my interface be my soundcard?
Indeed it is :D
Will an active DI work?
Sorry Shane, it won't. You can pick up a cheap passive DI for next to nothing
@@BrooksAudio I tried with my bss and a 9v battery in it. It won't work. I'll look to try with a passive di
@@monsterandmaster yes absolutely needs to be passive!!!
@@BrooksAudio yes I misunderstood this part at the beginning. Some guy also talked about using a boss pedal cause they have a buffer and an insert cable. What do you think of that ?
Thanks for the tip.
@@monsterandmaster Do you have a link to the other video?
wesome work, BUT, i only have TRS outs on my interface, what could i do on my case???
Use a TRS to XLR converter, actually TRS outputs are balanced.
