I'm referring to output clipping.
Or you can get something that manages multiple guitar outputs. An amp would handle it the same as the axe, if you set it like yes says. This is probably not only the easiest way, but also maybe the more authentic way. Just my 2 cents.Just set input level based on your loudest guitar and leave it there.
Is the clip light coming on?I notice clipping on the ax8
What should the output be set on
I'm so new to it - its when I turn the last Amp level knob upIs the clip light coming on?
Thanks friendYeah, you're probably clipping the output. There's a Main Out Clip light. Check and see whether it lights up red when you hear the clipping.
Definitely turn that last Level knob down until the clipping goes away. If you need more volume, use the Out1 Level knob directly below it.
No problem. Did you get 'er solved?Thanks friend
Yes I just dialed her back thanks mateNo problem. Did you get 'er solved?
The Clip light lives at the other end of the signal chain—at the output. It means you're overdriving the D/A converter, not the A/D converter. So you fix it by reducing the internal digital signal level.There is something very fundamental that I don't understand here, the meaning of the "clipping" light.
The A/D converter measures my guitar's voltage 44.1k times per second (?), and represents it as a number for the DSP algorithms to use. Is the problem that voltage on my guitar is outside the range of the A/D's ability to represent a number, so it saturates at its maximum (or minimum) possible reading?
So, does "clipping" mean "the ADC has saturated?" If not, what does it actually mean?
Watch the IN1 and IN2 lights. The top red LED starts to glow a few dB before clipping. The INSTR input has a soft limiter that's pretty forgiving. You have to nail it pretty hard to hear audible artifacts.And how do I know that the ADC has saturated on the input side?
99 LUFSballons.How much is this in LUFS? Or how do you measure the output volume - is there a standard you use?
Proper measurement tools are already built in. Use the VU meters. Shoot for 0 dB on the meters. That'll get you in the ballpark, with 20 dB of headroom to spare....the programming I do without proper measurement tools is always louder than the presets. Without ever touching the red light. The volume is all around.
So how do you do it? Do you just flip between programs and do it by ear?
No you didn't. What are you up to?I made this sticky
Ah, you're a human, not a bot. I wasn't sure, given some of the posts you've made in your first few minutes of forum membership. No offense intended. It just looked like you were in a hurry to run up a post count.nothing, I swear
Enjoy!I have some free time for the forum
