gmillermaritime Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 If you insert a 6db gain block into a patch will that effect the output of the XLR jacks goin to FOH? I'm hoping it does although I can't tell a difference in the DAW in the Studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 It depends on the setting of the Output block. If set to MULTI it will affect both the XLR outputs and the USB level into your DAW. You could, however, set the output parameter to 1/4" in which case no signal at all - including the Gain block - will be heard over XLR or USB1/2. (see manual pg 25) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvroberts Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This depends on a number of things. The answer above is correct as far as it goes - but where that 6db boost is in your path is just as important. If you boost 6db in front of an amp model where the amp is already driven to valve saturation you just increase the saturation (overdrive). That is exactly how it happens in the real world with an amp. You have gain control on your actual output (click the out at the end of the chain) this is the best place to balance different patches as it will not change anything except the level of a sound that you like, but is a different volume to another patch you also like! There are many places to change volume (well gain) throughout your effects chain - some will have more impact on the actual apparent volume than others - the gain on the output does exactly as you would expect if you want to make an overall apparent volume change. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
