Works fine for me.

If you consider BF started early -

gig performer 4, bx_console SSL 4000 G, Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Plugin, and DSM V3,

eventide shimmerverb.

Not on sale, but I got a new set of tubes for a prs se 20.

I think  it is a crappy guitar interface, jack on one end usb ADC on the other.  when I first plugged it in windows saw it as an input device. I disabled it so I could use Ampliube now it only sees it as an output device and so does cakewalk.

Again, what is the device? Does it have a name? A brand? How can we help if we don't know what it is?

What's your guitar USB interface?

I don't know the answer, but based on the above I would try an uninstall from Start -> Settings -> Apps & features and see if that works.

Line level is generally +4 db. You need to look at the specs for the pedal. For the DD-200.

https://www.boss.info/us/products/dd-200/specifications/

Look at the input and output levels.

Nominal Input Level

INPUT A/MONO, B: -10 dBu

Maximum Input Level

INPUT A/MONO, B: +7 dBu

Input Impedance

INPUT A/MONO, B: 2 M ohm

Nominal Output Level

OUTPUT A/MONO, B: -10 dBu

Maximum Output Level

OUTPUT A/MONO, B: +7 dBu

Output Impedance

OUTPUT A/MONO, B: 1 k ohms

Recommended Load Impedance

OUTPUT A/MONO, B: 10 k ohms or greater

Input is -10 to +7 dBu and +4 is between them so it'll take line level inputs. Also notice that input impedance is 2 M ohm. For guitar you want 1 M ohm or higher. If your audio IF's input impedance is less than 1 M ohm you should try using the dd-200 as a DI. HTH.

Right I get it man, so I’m out of budget for buying a interface with 3 inputs, so I might renounce to record and re-amp at the same time, I will do that in a second take.

If you get the DD-200 and you do a second take note that you can use the boss as a DI. It's designed to take a guitar as input. Use it between the guitar and IF and bypass the effect and see if it improves the sound on the first take.

So basically you need the re-amp box just if you use a real amp but not just for the effect pedals. So no need of a re-amp option neither in the audient interface, at this point it’s just a simple choice between the focusrite 2i2 and this audient sono. 

This won't work with all guitar pedals. A lot of pedals are designed for instrument level signals. You don't want to put a line level signal into those. It all depends on the pedal; some will work some won't, some may blow out.

The only cool thing about the audient is that is a tube preamp, so you can go directly into the DAW with a warm tube guitar sound, but at that point I don’t know how much sense it has to use the amp sim, since the interface would have already its own sound, and I ‘m afraid I would be limited by that.

Also check and see if the tube in the audient is running at full voltage or if it's starved. Starved is ok, but you may be disappointed if you think it's full voltage and it's not.

OK, that's a bit simpler. The input on the DD-200 is -10 db to + 7 db and +4 db is a common line level so you should be able to take the output of the IF directly into the delay. The output is the same -10 db to + 7 db so you can go directly into the IF. You need at least two inputs and outputs to record guitar and use outboard fx and as you say to get stereo you need two inputs and outputs for the delay. I haven't used outboard fx with CbB. There is a section in the documentation on it. Search the pdf version for external insert. It's on page 928 of version 26.11.00 .

Are you re-amping or do you want to use the DD-200 as an external effect? What you describe here and the other post is an external effect, you're not going into a HW amp r u? You write that you're using an amp sim.

Those of us that had GP3 have been given a $99 price for the upgrade on a daily basis for months now.  

Ow!

I wouldn't go that far since they have the $25 survey code and many would have the $25 loyalty vouchers.  There are some good picks to be had for $15 assuming someone is using those at the $40 tier.  Of course we have seen these prices before but this sale at least gives options instead of the usual one at a time sales.

And the multiple products at $99 tier should  give the $75 voucher people options when they are frequently shafted.

 

I had a $25 loyalty voucher and used that to get gig performer 4 for $75. Seems ok to me.

Myself I need to “play” the effects especially delay. 

Absolutely. I do home recording so I can always re-record something. If you're a recording engineer I can see that it's nice to be able to tweak things after the artist has recorded.

Now, I don't have a re-amp box in order to place my delay pedal after the amp sim in my DAW, as it is usually recommended.

Is it really much better in terms of sound quality to place the delay pedal after the amp with the re-amp box?

Or is just fine for the guitar to pass to the delay pedal first and then to the amp sim in the daw?

Do you suggest me to buy a re-amp box?

You'll find plenty of delay pedals on pedal boards.

There's a memory man and Belle Epoch on Eric Johnson's pedal board. They're before the amp. Try it and see. You run into problems if you want to push the amp's input or you're driving the amp really hard.

Interesting comment from EJ -

The HUB: Does your setup change at all for studio recording?

EJ: It’s pretty much the same. I mean, I’ll use different pedals in the studio that I normally wouldn’t use live just for overdubs or something, but typically that’s the go-to sound that I could kind of cover everything I need to and, if I need to change it from there, it could be just a matter of setting the tone different, treble or bass or whatever, or different guitars.

I really want Omnisphere but knows it never goes on BF sale (Or any sale?). Whats a good strategy for getting it cheaper over BF (I'm in UK), would Time+Space have coupon codes over their whole site or something? 

Looks like it's currently 15% off at Musicians Friend.

The problem is you need Roland Cloud to run them. It want's to run in the background. I turn it off in Start, but it seems to change that setting when it updates. I think you have to run RC at least once every 30 days even if it's for life. I think RC is a PIA. I do like the 808 and D-50 so I am going to think about it.  

I'm watching for a discounted update to biab, I think I'm on 2019.

Funny you talk about lesly , i spent literraly the whole day yesturday creating SP 1200 sound , i sampled some 808 into a real sp 1200 (not mine) , played a beat and tried to match as possible with plugin , and one i really loved was the lesly (without cabinet) , i always use those for drive , harmonics and color ....

I like some of those leslie amps without the leslie cabinet (a 1x12 or something) for a warm clean guitar sound.

Is there a benefit to owning Amplitude if I already own Guitar Rig?  (Also note that I play keyboards and not guitar.)

It depends on what you play and how picky you are. If you play fender rhodes they are often paired with fender twins. I usually go to either amplitube or s-gear for fender amps. If you play B-3 the leslie collection in amplitube is nice. This gb I got the leslie for t-racks for synth/organs rather than use amplitube.

What about the Snare Open &  Shallow hits? Aren't those the same strike, but with different force?

That's in the manual - there is an illustration showing the different strikes. Shallow is the head toward the rim and open is in the center.

MIDI out can go to HW - synths and samplers. MIDI controllers also include pedals. As a guitarist I use a midi foot controller to control loopers, Ableton Live, and so on.

Agree, I have the Collection without some of the latest additions, and they are very useful. I think, in a long run, I would shell out for one or two Roland perpetual licenses if there was just online activation without the rest of annoyance.

I've got some of the Korg stuff and like that. Roland had a sale last year and I was tempted to get both the D-50 and 808. The Jupiter is good too, but I have a jp-8080 with all the knobs...

There are two types of guitar synths - guitar to midi and wave shaping. The old Roland GR-300 that Pat Metheny used was wave shaping. In that vein there is also the GR-500, VG-88, VG-99, GP-10, and Boss SY-300 and SY-1000. Many of the later models also have gtr-to-midi. These are polyphonic. There are some multi fx boxes that have a synth fx, but they are usually monophonic.  Electro Harmonix has made some pedals in the wave shaping vein like the Micro Synth. I'm not aware of vsts that are doing this although there may be some. Guitar Rig 6 has a Harmonic Generator fx - I think it is monophonic and is modelled on the Micro Synth.

Yep, roland cloud authorization method sucks  

It's surprising that comes from a music tech company. They don't think people will have it on a DAW? They don't realize you don't want notifications while you're tracking? I have it installed, but I have startup and notifications disabled. I haven't purchased anything because of the implementation.
