it doesn't
Just tried my Dingwall bass and I lost a LOT of gain in my bass presets. will have to re-do em.
It doesn’t.I thought this setting didn't affect gain in presets
According to a recent post by @FractalAudio, you can now set it anywhere in its range without affecting gain.Unfortunately, it will once you get below 5% or above 95%. But not by much.
So many threads to read, I must have missed that. That's good to know.According to a recent post by @FractalAudio, you can now set it anywhere in its range without affecting gain.
Im on 7.5% and the gain is definitely affected with this presetUnfortunately, it will once you get below 5% or above 95%. But not by much. The new 'Input 1 Gain' parameter in that same 'Input Levels' tab, can be used to globally increase, or decrease the level of your guitar entering the grid to make up for any loss or increase of gain caused by extreme 'Input 1 Instrument' settings.
I don't recall the exact post, but I remember it was a response to one of the "Why do I have to set it so low?" posts, and Cliff stated that you can go as low as the range will allow without affecting levels.So many threads to read, I must have missed that. That's good to know.
I did some searching, but haven't found that post yet. Anyone know where it is?
I just did a test using the sine wave from the Synth block routed only to Output 4. Then a TS cable from Output 4 to Input 1. Routed Input 1 to Output 1. Set the Synth output so that Output 1 is right at the '0' line on it's VU meter.Im on 7.5% and the gain is definitely affected with this preset

It doesn't "blow up the input". There's nothing fundamentally wrong with setting it to 8%. You can set is as low as 0% with no detrimental effect.

TEST 1... Moved the 'Input 1 / Instrument' parameter in the 'Input' tab of the 'I/O' menu from '0.0%' to '100.0% on the hardware, while observing the levels in the Output 1 block. The level stayed within '0.1 dB'. As a mater of fact, the '0.1' difference was an increase that occurred in the lowest few percent.
TEST 2... I setup the Synth level much higher so that the Input 1 clip indicator would come on at around 50% (default). As I proceeded past that clip point, there was a drop in the level exiting the Input 1 block, as shown on the Output 1 block VU meter. Likely caused by the compression caused by the clipping of the wave form entering the A/D converter.
POSSIBLE CONCLUSION?... If you were previously clipping harder than you should have been. You signal was likely being clipped/compressed reducing your actual level and dynamic range. The new clip indicator brought this to your (and likely many others) attention. After reducing the parameter till you are actually no longer clipping, you are entering the grid at a lower level.
Those that were not (or barely) clipping before the addition of the clip indicator should not be experiencing any change in 'gain'.
No presets need to be changed simply because a warning message was added.I wonder will the factory presets be updated to take this clipping in to account?

I figured maybe they were made with guitars that clipped? And maybe FAS didnt want that.No presets need to be changed simply because a warning message was added.
I do not get this jokeYes, and I wonder what this all means for the value of the US dollar.
Sarcasm doesn‘t translate well over chat/forum/email…Yes, and I wonder what this all means for the value of the US dollar.
