Sylhead Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi there I often use my HX Stomp as recording interface into Ableton Live 10 and one thing I noticed is that when I'm recording a DI take using output number 5 the recording comes at a really low volume. I've been searching for a setting to fix that inside the HX preferences but I can't seem to find it. Is it something common and can be fixed or is there something wrong with my stomp Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The level is fine. It's set that way to allow headroom on the recorded track for post processing/re-amping/mixing. https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/ideal-level-record-tracks-daw/#:~:text=For dynamic tracks%2C the recommended,during mixing%2C and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 @Sylhead, there's nothing wrong with your Stomp. But I agree that the resulting audio waveform is anemic, especially if you need to do any sort of visual audio editing or Melodyne tweaking. I wish their was a way to adjust the output level on USB 5. After recording, you can always put a gain plugin on the track and bounce it (or however that sort of thing is normally done in Ableton) to obtain a waveform that's more like what you're used to. Just do proper gain staging when processing through any other plug-ins to avoid any clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 In Reaper, selecting the waveform and pressing UP ARROW while holding SHIFT zooms the wave form. I tried to figure this out in Ableton v11 and found a video for v10, but I must be misunderstanding because it don't work in v11 the same as it works in v10. I must admit though, I rarely use Ableton and I lose patience with Ableton's documentation quickly. https://www.google.com/search?q=ableton+zoom+waveform&ei=WC3PY5mxBfu30PEPh9Cs8Ac&ved=0ahUKEwiZvZWtgN_8AhX7GzQIHQcoC34Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=ableton+zoom+waveform&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIHCAAQDRCABDIGCAAQCBAeMgUIABCGAzoKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzoGCAAQBxAeOggIABAIEAcQHkoECEEYAEoECEYYAFDPJ1iWOmDkPmgCcAF4AIABsAKIAeYHkgEHMS41LjAuMZgBAKABAcgBBcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#kpvalbx=_hS7PY46xMrC4qtsPhsCR4AQ_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
