Gain Knob is the first thing to find and turn. It's on each track in the mixer at the top

Even that makes my eye twitch 🤨. I can't look at that "Rec-tum-fier" script logo without PTSD. Probably a great piece of gear tho. When I was wheeling in the SVT (rather than the standard and awesome old Bassman 10 that suited every other session perfectly and never got complaints) he looked over and saw that SVT and said "YES! THAT is the sound I want!" I looked down at the amp for a second, thought about it, and replied..."So, you don't need me to plug it in?"

Lots of nice workflow optimizations here! I highly recommend. Great production value as well

I recall reading about an issue where plugins with the string "VST3" in their name may not get scanned correctly if not in a separate folder. So a VST2 plugin with VST32 in their name (to denote 32 bit) would not work properly. But I may have read about that in a bug fix document...

Thurogood uses a Fender Princeton Reverb as a stage monitor - 15 watts in a guitar amp can be a lot, particularly in the studio... Get me drunk some time and I will tell the tale of the guy who insisted he needed his Mesa-Boogie Triple Rec-tum-fier and 2x4-12 cabinets in the studio to "get his tone..." Only time I have ever played through an (Honest to gosh, all tube '72) SVT in a session...Not for "My tone" but because I couldn't hear myself otherwise... Years later I was introduced into the miracle of Amp rooms... Amps and guitars are something I would want to audition, rather than just buy on-line. Make sure it produces a tone that you find appealing, and hopefully has a line out and effects loop as well.

OK, Im stumped. That is truly weird. On every interface I have, a -20dB cut reduces my input level by...oh...20dB or so. I don't know if it matters, but...active pickups on the guitar?

What is your interface? Straight into a sound card? If so those are usually mic level. Might be able to change it in the driver maybe...

I had this on my Windows 7 DAW. The fix was to turn off Aero mode and revert back to "Classic Windows" type interface. I dunno if that is a thing in Win10 or not. Maybe related to resolution - Due to a mishap involving my desk, a hookah, and someone with a large butt, my former desk monitor was rendered permanently inoperable, so until it replacement(s) arrive tommorow I am using a great big 4K TV as a monitor - same resolution that you are running. Putting the mixer view up on a big screen LOOKS very impressive, anyway.

Lucy- When you say the DAW, do you mean the Cakewalk by Bandlab application that is running on your PC, or the online Mix Editor collaboration tool that you access through your Bandlab login? Im finding the "Export to Bandlab" functionality the be extremely wonky and unreliable in Cakewalk by Bandlab but am chalking it up to the fact that Im not on Windows 10 and that level of integration needs a nice revenue generation ad sponsor browser like Chrome or Edge., so my very locked down browser isn't letting the traffic through. About the most reliable way to get the files into Bandlab for me is to mix them down to a MP3 or WAV, then upload using a Chrome or Edge as your browser. You have to be careful to look at the advanced options if you dont want Bandlab to helpfully master for you. Ive not seen any limit on the number of WAVs you can import into Cakewalk by Bandlab - certainly more than three, and have only farted around with Midi Files in the Mix Editor.

The Vapors- Turning Japanese

Maybe - maybe not. The data centers are already built; Bandlab is already in bed with Google if you look into what the Bandlab Mix Editor and mastering tool does. Even with a free "model" for the basic DAW, other things like Soft Synths and other .VSTs could be subscribed to at a Freemium level. The basic AMIs are spun up on demand for the DAW; with a small user base, you are using less resources and therefore have a lower google bill. Doing all the processing in the cloud avoids the biggest cost generator for cloud: egress charges. Processing power in the cloud is much cheaper than it is on your desktop- and you can automate and orchestrate provisioning instances on demand, and spin them down when there is no demand. The bill goes up as your adoption rate goes up, whatever revenue Bandlab is generating from their current subscription model and their semi-annual tracking continues or increases. Frankly, while this all might seem radical, it makes a lot more sense as a way to bridge out to Mac and Linux users than rebuilding and refactoring the application stack to run on another OS.

Here's a not-crazy idea: If it was cloud based, then the OS of the user generally wouldn't matter. Record engine only on the client, captured audio sent to a Qumulo SMB formatted share hosted on Amazon/Google Cloud/Azure by CbB, processing/editing/mixing mastering all happens in the cloud, final work product is then export out via download. With the right kind of SMB share, the application wouldn't even need to be refactored to run as an instance. NBC is doing this for VIDEO production right now. Audio only would be a ...Cakewalk. If anyone from Bandlab wants to discuss how to build that, DM me. Dead serious here...

The problem with sticking them on ebay is that you are now warehouseing the stuff for some indeterminate period. If the goal is to clean off the shelves of hardware that you'll never need again, then clean the shelves. Waiting until someone needs your specific token ring card or whatever means those shelves will have crap on them for a long time. But I understand keeping certain pieces of hardware around just in case. There are easier and better ways than keeping 20 year old , may-never-boot-again-because-the-bearings -in-the-hard-drive-dried-up-or-the CMOS-battery-drained-or-a cap-popped-from-lack-of-use systems on the shelf. Make an image of the system that can run on VMWare (possible for ANY x86 powered computer) and store the image on two separate pieces of Solid state media, store the media in a resonably controlled climate and it's (generally speaking) going to last forever, and those old machines are available as needed but take up almost zero shelf space, care and feeding, etc. I do have a shoe box with an Adaptec SCSI controller to drive an old DAT tape drive for reading old DVD master files...oh, and I STILL have a few Delta 1010s in the box next to it. But game controlllers and LAN cards and graphic cards are underwear - when you're through with them, you throw them away, you don't try to sell them. Unless you want old underwear on your shelf.

ASIO is exclusive to one device. Unclick ASIO4All and the other options will become available In fact, I personally would uninstall ASIO4ALL. Should not be needed with the Focusrite

AND A HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY TO YOU TOO!
