Then Try to completely uninstall it and reinstall it. I'd suggest all the obvious: restart everything, etc.

Though it sounds like your install went sideways like mine somehow. More importantly, PG has been made aware of my 'mic placement calibration' issue and they're investigating it.īut I honestly don't think there's a 'problem' per se'. But who's to say the 'new voicings aren't more accurate? Idk, but my instincts say no. Also, some models (mostly the higher gain amps) will require some distance adjustment to get them the 'match'. You'll have to move the mic closer to the cap (if not dead hovering over it).

Just dial up stock amps and cabs and don't touch anything) if you dial up a JCM800 in BA 2. (.and I suggest you open BA 1 & 2 in standalone simultaneously to quickly A/B the amps. Like a pillow in front of the cabs, lifeless, all the top end rolled off? If that what you're hearing? The discrepancy between the two versions is the mic placement. Mine just started working after I put it down for a few hours, but there was still something off compared the stock amps in BA 1. See if you can find it 'NEW INSIGHT INTO POOR TONE RESPONSE BA 2'. or I might skip all that and shop for a higher end interface and setup from Hey man, I started a whole new thread on this. if you do not see an immediate improvement from that, I would try putting a buffer or direct box in line with the signal and using the line input that might slam dunk your problem. Once you have adjust the input as per the above and just do a quick spot check of all your levels. In your case I would be suspect of the signal coming into the interface input or the interface's high-z.

It seems like a lot to mess with but a lot of the stuff will be okay out of the box. Cable quality and length (addressed by new cables or buffers in the signal chain), Impedance of your pickups and the interface input mismatching (addressed by better interface, direct boxes, buffering).

The first point you adjusted at the input but the others you will need to look at individually these will include things like (the plugin's input and output level sliders, the daws control for channel, master, and bus input.output level, the computer drivers settings for input/output levels.įor muffled sounds or signals where the frequency content is off (like say not enough treble is common) there are other potential culprits. There are usually several points along any signal path where 'gain' can be adjusted all of these you want high enough to get a strong signal at that point in the chain but low enough to not clip it's own I/O or the next stage's.

You want the highest level signal you can get that is NOT clipping. adjust the gain until it clips (red light) now back it down until it consistently stays green with no clip. The input 2 also has a gain adjustment dial on the device. It is not the world's best High Z (that may literally be the cheapest interface made ) ) but it is WAY better than plugging a guitar level signal into a line interface which is what input 1 is on that box. Make sure you are using that as it is a better input for a direct guitar. The input typically is a make or break point for a computer direct recording setup. Is that normal behavior? So essentially, for whatever odd reason that I cannot even beging to wrap my brain around, all this time I was plugging into the LEFT (input 1) in my audio interface, all I had to do was plug in the RIGHT (input 2) b/c all the presets that didnt sound right, sounded just fine once I plugged into the R (input 2).It is almost certainly a signal level issue or DAW config issue. I only changed the settings inside the plugin, which was chained AFTER my audio interface, yet somehow when I changed the audio setting in the standalone BIAS, GP interpreted that as a change in audio interface having one less input. UPDATE: An hour later… I noticed that if I changed the audio input from STEREO to MONO in standalone BIAS, it would set off a warning in GP that either I am missing an audio input in my original audio interface, do I want a virtual one etc… Now mind you, I did NOT change audio interface. When I put it to stereo, it sounds similar to the GP plugin behavior. I suspect it has something to do with the standalone audio input settings from MONO to STEREO. If I revert it back to single, its no good again. I know you use BIAS, wonder if this makes any sense to you–> If I convert the signal path inside BIAS (while having the plugin open in GP) to a dual path, it sounds fine again. I just did an uninstall/reinstall, problem presists.
