Re: Does amp models' volume affect tone?

support@line6.com — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:08:30 GMT

I think both master volumes affect the tone, and maybe you'll notice, but if I were you, I'd do exactly as you're thinking: Lower the model's volume, raise the DT's

Re: Multi-amp panning in a DAW

If I'm understanding correctly, you're talking about a stereo track. That's what you've been recording, stereo tracks, am I right?
Maybe you should record two separate mono tracks instead of one stereo track, feeding one of the tracks in your daw with the left channel of the HD and the other track with the right channel. That will give you what you're looking for.
Alternatively, if you don't want to repeat every take you've already done, you can split the existing stereo tracks to dual mono pairs, and I'm pretty sure Sonar can do that by itself, but if it doesn't, you can always use an external audio editor, such as sound forge, wavelab, audacity and others.
Yet another solution would be to duplicate those stereo tracks you already have and pan them the way you like, but that would be a waste of resources, and it still wouldn't give you total flexibility.

Re: JTV89F Battery problem

Hi Denis,
I'd recheck battery placement. I know you did that already, but sometimes I've found myself trying two, three times before the battery actually sits in place.

Spammers, you won't read this...

...because you don't even login on this forum, that's what the robots are for...

but nevertheless, I want to express my feelings towards you.
I hope you die a slow painful death, long after you've spent in medicines every last cent

Kind regards

Re: Just bought it and REALLY annoyed with huge preset volume differences and lack of gain

Next time you meet with your writing partner bring your HD and he'll probably be able to help you.
There's a lot of possible things you may be doing wrong at the moment. If you liked the way his 500

sounded, he'll surely put you on the right direction to get similar tones,
In terms of gear setup you come from a very different place, and it's going to take you some time

and effort to get the sounds in your head, I bet, so, be patient.

Re: POD HD 500 PANTALLA ROTA

Es la primera vez que tengo noticia de un caso así. Hasta ahora nada ni remotamente parecido.
Lo mejor es que abras un support ticket de esos, porque no hay nadie como ellos mismos para decirte lo que le pasa a tu POD.
Tardan unos días en responder, así que paciencia.
Suerte.

i'm not positive on which firmware for the v1 variaxes... might be all of them.?

At least all versions I can remember

I'm with you. As much as I like freebies, and those coming from L6 are almost always very interesting,
it seems the new update is something major, so I'd rather have them do it right, no matter how long it takes.
In the meantime, I'll be making music with what I have.

Re: My Variax pipe dream

I don't agree about the dimension of the redesign, Dave. Just the same way you're guessing the actual guts of the JTV series are not capable of doing note to midi conversion with the right firmware, I'm guessing they are.
Just programming needed.
My AXON AX-50 guitar to midi interface has far less processing power than the JTVs, and has to deal with latency and other issues the JTV wouldn't suffer.
I think JTV firmware can be programmed to output midi data through the VDI, and out of the pod's midi out port (or usb). In this scenario, the pod would just be repeating the signal and providing the physical midi and/or usb connection, not processing anything, or at least, not on the midi area.

That's new functionality, and although L6 have provided lots of it for free over the years, I'm not asking for that. I would very gladly pay for such an upgrade to my existing gear.
Anyway, I hear you all, naysayers, and somewhat agree with the different points of view, because I don't really think L6 will step into that territory, maybe ever.

As Phil said, it's added complexity, and I might add that midi guitar is not, and probably has never been, that popular, but then again, Marcus Ryle used to work at Oberheim, and he is a keyboardist, so I don't think that the company is so far off from the midi/synth side of things.
Would it be so outrageous if variaxes could do midi guitar as well? I don't think so. Most guitarists I know think that variaxes are gizmos anyway, I say let's give them more reasons!

So...
Possible? Yes, I think so

Likely? we'll see, but, as I said before, I'm not holding my breath

I also think it could be implemented that way, with no hardware change. Just the JTV and a VDI equipped HD, that could output midi both through usb and its midi out port.
That would also be enough to drive some guitar specific synths, if (as it is the case with GR-55) they have a midi in port.
If I had such programming skills I would have done it for XTL+Vax700, but...

I would love it, and I have already asked L6 for it myself, but I won't hold my breath. Blue skin doesn't suit me.
