NickM95X Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I recently got Pod Farm 2.5 for tones to replace my pedals for tones and I'm having a difficult time getting the right sound to record. The ASIO settings seem to be fine, but the input and playback on the interface isn't. Monitoring incoming audio, when I set the interface to playback, it sounds good, but when set it to input, I get a clean sound (I'm trying to get a distorted tone through). The Direct Monitor is set to Stereo and switching it to Mono seems to do nothing. I'm using Pod Farm through Mixcraft 6.1 as a VST and have the guitar going directly into the interface. I'm not too experienced with this stuff yet so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just for clarification, is this the Hardware Independent PF2 of the i-Lok version? (i-Lok is plug-in only). If it is the Hardware Independent version, if you go to preferences in PF and click the Hardware tab, does PF see the Scarlett? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Direct monitoring = monitoring what is plugged into the interface, so of course it will sound clean! I'm not familiar with Mixcraft, but most DAWs have a 'track monitor' selector on each track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Not sure if the OP is referring to ToneDirect settings in PF2, which can send the wet signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM95X Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for replying. I'm not using a Line 6 interface or the iLok version. I copied the .dll file into my Mixcraft VSTs to use it in there. I'm not using the ToneDirect either. PodFarm does recognize the Scarlett device in the preferences however. I can get both the dry signal and wet signal through my monitors separately, but when I record, the playback is both signals (the dry mix being a lot louder).

fflbrgst Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thre's a knob on the front of your Scarlett that says 'Direct Monitor'. All the way anti-clockwise is input, all theway clockwise is playback (track monitor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the way anti-clockwise is input, all theway clockwise is playback (track monitor). You will want to set the "Direct monitor" control on front of Scarlett 2i4 full clockwise - to hear 100% effect of PodFarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
