The sound module/VSTi normally has some place to set the pitch bend range. +- 2 is a common default.

You'll need to provide more information like the make and model of the drum module. If your drum module is the interface to the computer you should have some way to change the balance in the console between the console and the return from the computer or to turn off the monitor function. ASIO only supports one device. If your drum module doesn't have a way to turn off monitoring the module you can try WASAPI mode and use another device for output.

I have ARC 2 and it made a big difference. I wish I had bought it sooner. My wife is working from home due to covid so I'm using headphones, but I'll probably upgrade and be ready for the future.

I have both a Roland FC-300 and Yamaha MFC-10. I got the FC-300 to use with a VG-99, although now I'm using it more with an SY-1000. I also use it with SW. I was using the MFC-10 with Live, but now I'm just using the FC-300. Since I have the FC-300 I'm using it and like it, but it seems fairly product specific. The MFC-10 works fine and the SoftStep is popular although it doesn't have expression pedals. The FC-300 connects to the VG-99, but I also use a MIDI out when I'm not using the VG-99. I have a MOTU MIDI ExpressXT which is a MIDI router/IF. You can use something like the Roland UM-ONE mkII for MIDI to USB.

Look in the MIDI track inspector. Above the fader is channel, bank, and patch.

It's not very intuitive, but once you know how to do it it makes sense.

Open TH-U and at the top there will be VST2/3, select that and select MIDI Input. Insert a MIDI track and select your input device and for output select TH-U. HTH.

Echoes is a good buy at $19

Open a project at the tempo of the clip. Copy 1 to 4 bars to another track. In the short clip apply groove clip looping. You should be able to save the clip as a groove clip. When you bring that in it should follow the tempo of the project. You can pull/expand the groove clip for the length of the song.

Glad that helped.

For future reference, if you're still using the GR-33, you want the bend range of the GR-33 to match the bend range of the synth you're playing. See page 87 of the GR-33 manual.

I like Blue Tubes and Echos, although I only use them occasionally. I think the IKM and Waves models of the 670, LA 2A, and pultecs are a bit better although I use the pro channel CA2A the most due to it's convenience. I picked it up at $99 and it was worth that.

I like it for looping which I use to practice and play around with ideas. I'm on 9 std, but it doesn't support vst3 and I have a couple plugins that are vst 3 only. For $135 I'll probably upgrade. What has me on the edge is that zenbeats seems to cover my looping needs.

I got the email for $99.

I used most of my jam points on Total Studio 2 Max recently, but I'll use what I currently have

I have AT4 MAX+ (most of the collections included in AT5 Max). I don't plan on pre-ordering, but I'm sure I'll step up to V5. So it's $99 bucks to get the new tech and for another $50 I get the new gear. That seems like a no brainer to me. I plan on getting AT5.

I don't know.

Headphones are fine. Make sure the Direct Monitor knob on the 2i4 is turned fully clockwise to Playback while you set everything up. You need Input Echo enabled and when you play you should hear the DAW. Record a few bars and play it back. Does it sound the same? You don't need to record hot, -6 dB or -12 dB should be fine.

It depends on your setup. Are you in a studio where the console is in an isolation booth? If not then if you are recording an amp with a mic you're probably using headphones. If not the speakers will create feedback with the mic and that creates problems. If you're mic'ing an amp and monitoring with headphones record a couple bars and listen back on the headphones - it should sound the same. If not why not? If you're recording direct a similar thing applies - you're either listening with headphones or speakers. Record a couple bars and play it back - it should sound the same. If not why not?

First are you listening to the recording setup the same as playback? Make sure you're not direct monitoring your signal. What you hear when you are setting up recording should sound the same when you play it back. If they don't what is the difference?

I use it on both buses and channels. I use values that sound right. For me channel drives are typically between 1 and 2.
