Problems with signals in and out

Hi

 

I've got two problems with my Gearbox software in stand-alone:

1) I can't hear anything from the metronome or player (even the tutorial track) but my signal from amps is OK. However I use Gearbox 3.70 and all the latest updates are installed on my PC.

2) The sound tends to be oversaturated. I can hear it because the distortion presets crush regularly (the problem doesn't come from my instrument or my USB cable or my audio monitors, I verified all that before). Is it normal that the Monitor Clip/Light and the Output Indicator/Clip Light become yellow when I play any note, even very softly, even when both the volume knob and monitor volume are nearly minimum?

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Vince

    can you explain how you've got everything connected to your device (what device are you using?)

     

    on point 2, have you tried editing the patches?  the default ones are only meant to be a rough guide and may not work for all peoples with all setups, as you may be using active pickups with a patch that's setup for a guiter with single coils, so you're adding a load of gain to boost pickups that isn't needed.  obviously that may not be the case, but that's just a guess.

      My guitar don't have any active pickups. However, I noticed today that the level of Out Of Hardware were red when I play a song in iTunes, and the level of the signal passed on Gearbox don't react at all when I decrease the level in iTunes. Maybe it's a bad management of Vista?

       

      And for my device, I've got an UX2 linked to Yamaha MSP5 active monitors. The port is not connected with a HUB but directly with my PC. For infos about my computer settings, I think I've all read about it in my profile...

    Hi,

       

      I'm not 100% sure about what you're experiencing. Can you try something for me?

       

      Do not run GearBox software. If your Vista audio settings are set to use the UX1 as your default audio I/O, run iTunes and play a track back.

       

      Then, as the song is playing launch GearBox software. Start playing guitar.

       

      Was there a change in gain/volume/distortion at the output? Your iTunes volume setting should be independent of GearBox volume settings. Please let us know.
