Dry Track/Input 3 Clipping -

I just plugged directly into the RME. The clipping isn't nearly as bad, but when I hit the strings hard, even with the levels on the RME way down, I'm still getting some distortion. Now--perhaps you could tell me--one cause of this might be my strings themselves: I'm tuned down quite low on a...

Dry Track/Input 3 Clipping -

Hi everyone, I'm posting here as a last resort, as I've exhausted all the avenues to my knowledge, and have read numerous threads and the Axe Wiki without avail. Here's my issue: one, and only one of my guitars is clipping badly on the dry track. Here's my setup: 1. The clipping...

SPDIF ReAmp Tutorial - Sonar X2, Presonus, AXE FX II

Quick question about this: I am booked up via spdif, but all I've done is used the Axe Fx as my soundcard, and recorded inputs 1/2, which are wet, into my DAW, and then set up another track and set it to input 3, which on the Axe is dry. Does this mean I'm not using my spdif connection here, or...

Hmm. I'll try it out, but it was never happening before regardless of the menu. I'll check tonight and report back. Thanks.

Cutting out when changing amp settings when monitoring a reamp?

Hey guys, I've been reamping successfully for a while--by which I mean both recording the reamped signal, and also just designing tones when the reamped signal is being played back out of my DAW--but just recently the signal started to cutout when I was changing all settings in Axe-Edit...

Different Scenes - Trouble with Same Amp/Different Settings

Okay, so before I get into the details of that suggestion, let me clarify: So the only way changes to the settings of any amp block can be made across different scenes is if one either a) turns that block off and another block on in the next scene or b) uses the x/y function? And since (a)...

Different Scenes - Trouble with Same Amp/Different Settings

Hey guys, I've got a quick question about scene changes while using one amp. I've learned on here that to get truly seamless switching I need to actually use two amps in parallel, as otherwise x/y'ing the amp will cause a short dropout when settings are being loaded up. So that's fine for...

Strong Undertones on Chords, not on Single Notes

Wow. Amazing. Worked. How'd you know that, and what's the deal there? Why does the noise gate have that effect? I've never noticed it before...perhaps some of my settings on this patch set something off in it? Thanks for your help. That was awesome.

Strong Undertones on Chords, not on Single Notes

Though, interestingly, it's only when I fret chords--like bar chords. When I just palm mute the open lower strings, there's no 'thudding.' When I fret a bar chord on these strings, there is.

Strong Undertones on Chords, not on Single Notes

Now that I'm playing and paying more attention, it's not just on chords. It's on low notes in general, and it actually makes my tone sound like it's very subtly 'dropping in and out,' because there are a lot of undertones, then none. So, I'm wondering if there's something else going on here...

Strong Undertones on Chords, not on Single Notes

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll play with that. Though I'll add that on my 5150 patch on earlier firmware I had more distortion but fewer undertones. Right now my distortion is at 3.5, so I can drop it yet. But I am puzzled about why this didn't come up before when I using *more* distortion.

Hey guys, I've just been dialing in some new patches, and right now I'm using the 5150 model in a pretty simple set up. (Latest firmware). Basically, the issue I'm noticing is that when I play a chord--distorted--I'm getting a lot of undertones. Now, they're a bit strong, but if I can weaken...

Loud enough playback level in DAW, but still lots of headroom...

Yeah, if I switch my soundcard in the Reaper prefs. to the Windows card, then Reaper pops up in the Windows mixer and it's on full blast. Obviously it disappears when I switch back to the ASIO drivers for Reaper. As for the Fireface as my standard device, it already is, as that's what's...

Interesting you bring that up--Reaper actually doesn't even show up in the Windows Mixer. I'm wondering though if that's because it doesn't use the Windows sound card, but rather the Fireface? Should it be showing up?

Yeah, that might be it, but I'm wondering if it's something closer to source. Look, let's forget the levels of the other applications and imagine I'm just concerned about output (playback) level in Reaper. The issue remains that it's mysteriously low, such that I literally need to have my...

Loud enough playback level in DAW, but still lots of headroom...

I'm setting either: the gain in the I/O>Output 1 menu; or the level in an amp menu in a preset. Either one--as I understand it--will have the same effect (increasing output level, and hence eating up headroom in Reaper) just that one is global and the other is local. What's puzzling me is...
