Reamping signal question

[grandinq]

Greetings!

 

I am trying to reamp and have run into an odd problem. I sent a dry track out of my daw and into a Radial pro rmp and then into the Guitar In of the Pod. That signal then went via l6 link to my DT25.

 

 

The problem is that the signal coming out of the DT25 was weak. My patch was a park75 with some tube drive. It is one of my bread and butter mid gain sounds. But it sounded like a clean sound-- no real drive. I then switched to a high gain patch based off the Tread pre. It had a little crunch but nothing like when I have my guitar plugged directly in

 

I feel like I am missing something. I found if I cranked the output of the daw it got better but I am not sure if that is what I am supposed to do. I thought the point of the reamping box is to reduce the gain of the dry signal, so cranking the volume heading into the box seems contradictory. And even so, when I do that the sound still lacks the amount of gain I would have when plugging my guitar in to the pod.

 

I may be able ton post a sound sample later but right now it is before 6 am and I can't wake the family.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have attached 3 files.  One is my guitar into the POD/DT25, and then the signal goes from the cab simulated out into the daw.

The second is guitar dry into daw.

The third is the dry signal reamped out of the daw into the Radial and then into the POD/DT25, using the same patch I used in the first file.

 

I've read such good things about the possibilities of reamping, so there's go to be something I am missing.

Well, I seem to be talking to myself, but I think I figured it out.  The dry signal wasn't being recorded well enough.  It was too weak, so reamping a weak signal didn't yield great results.  I got the DI box going and now it's working fine.
