jamesstmars Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hey guys I just recieved my HX stomp today and after hours of searching I haven't seen a clear answer on my situation. I record simple guitar cover videos for fun to post for friends. Typically I've plugged my guitar into my Focusrite scarlett Solo then I record using the guitar rig 5 software in Reaper where I also load in the backing track that I play along with. Then I'd just auto sync the "studio" recorded audio to the camera audio that was recorded via my speakers. Otherwise I'd just use headphones. I've tried setting my HX up as the interface but when I do that I can no longer load my backing track into Reaper as the HX is now the interface. My other method was to try to plug the L/Mono output into the Scarlett solo. I set both the output of the HX and the input of the Scarlett Solo to line. However when I do that the volume on the HX is very very very low. Turning up the gain on my output block only caused my interface to clip. I am using some pretty small home speakers to monitor so I'm not sure if that effects it. I used these same speakers via the headphone out and I have plenty of volume using that method. I'm a complete newbie to the product so there may be an easy solution here or some obvious things that I'm overlooking. That or maybe I'm trying to do something that's not possible with my little set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're "loading the backing track into Reaper" that means that you're copying the backing track to a Reaper track, in which case it shouldn't matter if HXS is your interface. If you're STREAMING the track into Reaper, that's a different story. Which is it? If STREAMING, how exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesstmars Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Copying the track in to Reaper. I get an error message when I try to drag and drop the mp3 into a new track. Might just be an issue with a configuration in Reaper that's likely an easy fix. My main issue is the almost non existant volume coming from the Stomp.

My main issue is the almost non existant volume coming from the Stomp. Drag the track into the left hand column and a track will automatically be created. You may have to pause a moment before dropping till the icon changes. Lower the level of the backing track. The stomp track, if you're taking it from USB 1, is a set level.
