This document describes a process called "Re-Amping" for guitar recording using separate digital and analog audio paths. It involves:
1) Recording the dry guitar signal digitally and wet effected signal analog in one take.
2) Sending the dry recording back through effects processors to create a new wet signal for a second take.
3) This allows maintaining the same DAW configuration while recording different amp and effect combinations.
