    Classic input gate weirdness

    This could be user error but I've been getting some weird "artifacts" while using the input gate on the classic mode. I was reamping some DI tracks from the USB (digital) source through a tube amp/load-box setup in one of the loops. The DI signal was going into input one with the classic gate...

    Cheers everyone! Obviously the Fractal performed really well and with some more tweaking I'm sure it could be dialed in to sound even closer.
