Hopefully I’m posting this in the correct forum. So I recently upgraded from an AxeFX IIXL+ to the III. One thing that bugged me about using the XL+ as a centerpiece for the sound card for the DAW (Reaper) was that I couldn’t control the playback volume properly of either the previously recorded tracks to newly recorded ones. I solved the issue by getting a Focusrite 18i20, which worked out great. But one thing I notice, by switching back and forth between the Focusrite and the Axe III, the sound quality of the Focusrite doesn’t sound as clear nor as defined as it does if using the Axe III solo. I tried this by plugging the monitors directly into the Axe III vs. the Focusrite OUTS. It just doesn’t sound as pristine.
I have it configured as such:
Axe III to Focusrite via S/PDIF I/O AND Axe III OUT1 to Focusrite channels inputs 3/4 (so I can record the dry signal, wet signal, and the re-amp signal simultaneously).
Axe III USB to PC, Focusrite USB to PC
Focusrite OUTPUTS to a pair of Event Opals
I’m using the mix software provided by Focusrite and it does work properly
Anyone else experience this? If so and the situation is rectified, what was the fix?
Edit: @chris any ideas?
