Hi,
I'm trying to set up my AX8 for re-amping, but I'm having major issues with white noise.
1) So Guitar > AX8 of course
2) Split signal in preset so...
a) clean signal goes AX8 FX Loop out > Steinberg UR44 interface using TS-cable > REAPER
b) processed signal goes AX8 Out1 > same interface with XLR cable > REAPER
I record unprocessed and processed sound in REAPER. I pass the unprocessed signal back to a re-amp preset on the AX8 using a line out on my interface, and subject it to the exact same processing - only beginning with an FX Loop block instead of the regular input.
The noise added on the reamped signal makes it unusable. There is a marked increase in noise even without any processing block on in the reamp-preset.
How do I go about reducing noise here?
- I've tried combinations of output levels on the AX8 and how hot I run my interface. I wanted to average -18db on the interface, but I've tried with transients up to -6dB.
- I've made sure levels are matched.
- I've varied how hot the signal from the interface back to the AX8 is.
I have some TRS-cables around. I'm going to try those in desperation soon...
Am I hooking things up wrong? Is there another way to do this?
Sorry, messy post... kind of in over my head here.
