Try turning the Direct Mix off on the OC. That lets you hear what's going into the I/F. Enable Input Echo in CbB and that should be OK. That way you're hearing what's being tracked.

The controls are a bit different than the QC. That sounds like it could be the Direct Mix on the OC. Do you have input echo enabled when you're tracking? Input echo in CbB.

OK. Is the level on the Master, if that is where your output is, does that look right?

I have a quad-capture. Taking the output from a speaker attenuator into the QC I can go from -inf up to 0.5 in CbB. At 0.5 it red-lines and sens is at12 o'clock and peak lights up on the QC. If I'm using an amp sim I like to be between -4 and 0 dB.

For the most part I agree with you. I like amp sims that behave like HW. However, I have a Roland VG-99 and it has a Marshall sim that you can crank without getting any noise. There's something to be said for that. I think there's room for different philosophies, but if something's modified it should be noted ...

Good sale on AT 5 - $99 for the standard edition. Certainly, worth checking out. If they have another group buy this summer, you could add a lot of collections as well. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/amplitube5/

I have TH-U. My wife has been working at home during the pandemic so I've set up all my amps for silent recording. If I come out of the power amp TH-U is my go to for speaker sim/cab emulation. I can also get a lot of good sounds from their amps, but haven't been using the amps as much lately. I haven't tried Brainwork bx_rockrack V3, but I have PA's Overdrive Supreme 50 which I like, as well as the PT100, bx_bassdude, and bx_megasingle. S-Gear seems most like real HW to me. The way the controls work and the way the amps react to my playing they seem like HW amps. I use it a fair amount. I like Amplitube 5 as well, but it's a CPU hog, you'll want a more recent CPU/chipset for it. I like the Chicago amp in Guitar Rig 6 and they have a lot of nice fx. I keep S-Gear, TH-U, AT, and Guitar Rig up to date. I'll likely pick up more amps from PA and Nembrini as well. Compared to the price of getting a new amp, these emulations seem like a good deal.

I'm not sure what you mean. Type-C is a connector, there are also Type-A, Type-B, Mini-USB, Micro-USB, and so on. Normally the USB standard will be specified as well. My laptop says - 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C. I got an adapter for mine but haven't used it yet. I use a MOTU M4 with my DAW - it has a USB-C port, but it's USB 2.0. Under specs it says - Computer I/O - 1 x USB-C (compatible with USB Type A) 2.0 audio class compliant

I'm an amateur and not as good as Kenny, but here are a few pieces that use MIDI gtr and guitar synths, Drums are programmed and guitar is mic'd, everything else is MIDI gtr. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ih06B0ZDbYE30dyVMKH30hoZntbUlX2Q/view?usp=sharing MIDI gtr, you rock gtr, and the bass guitar is modeled. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qRUbtwT7RXQ7RI_bVU3Mqw9ooNzdRX4i/view?usp=sharing Bass, strings, and trumpet are Boss SY-300, pads are you rock gtr. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w1HsIhvbJQAWddTG-1N34_sTb14zRXk4/view?usp=sharing A couple pads are keyboard in the beginning, and arps are keyboard (a sustained note).

I use it in tap mode and it does a pretty good job.

I've been playing guitar synth for over thirty years and all the equipment I have works with hammer-ons and pull-offs. I started with a Roland GM-70 back in '87 or '88. I like synth sounds or I use modelling, say for bass guitar, so I've been using a VG-99 and now an SY-1000. For MIDI I often use a You Rock gtr.

Is 1 true when playing PCM sounds in the GR-55? If so that would indicate a problem with the Godin. Note that you have setting up the GK pickup (or piezos), setting up the PCM sounds in a patch, setting up MIDI, and if you're using vsts or software or external HW they have to be setup as well. Hammer-ons and pull-offs work fine for me. Again, does it work with PCM models on the GR-55? When you start working with external MIDI equipment they need to be setup to work together. Do the bend ranges correspond?

The SY-1000 is more a successor to the VG-99. One of the synth models is a dynamic synth - it doesn't really track, it modifies the wave form of the guitar's strings signals. There is no real latency and it's very expressive. It can model the common analog wave forms. There is also an OSC model, but that can get some latency and demands clean playing. It also has the ability to do gtr2MIDI, but then you have the usual tracking issues. I like the SY-1000.

A couple videos of the GR-55 Jack changes voicings around 4 1/2 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvM8HAcyjJw Alex Hutchings - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syebI6c30cI

I use hex pickups; I have a Godin xtsa, ACS nylon, and a strat with a GK2A. I mostly use a Boss SY-1000 which is more like an analog synth, but it does have GTR2MIDI and I have a GR55 and a few other units. When you setup the guitar in the GR55 most people like the string sensitivity lower than what Roland recommends. Below 70% and IIRC mine may be around 30 - 40%. Palm muting is important. If you're not familiar with it vguitarforums.com is a good resource for all things VG, GR, SY related. Have fun.

I set the laptop up in my home studio and the Boss SY-1000 works fine with the USB 3.2 gen 1 port (SY-1000 is USB 2). The MOTU MIDI express XT works with it as well. I noticed that the USB 2 spec has a couple revisions, it may be that some older units have problems due to the revs.

That's interesting. Not many manufacturers are stepping up to USB 3; I wonder if they're they testing for compatibility? The QC is an old IF so, I'm not surprised there are compatibility problems.

I got a new laptop, an MSI Crosshair 15. When I plugged a Roland Quad-Capture into the USB 3.2 gen 1 port the QC didn't like it. It's fine in the USB 2.0 port and that's no problem. I'm curious if anyone knows what the problem is using some USB 2.0 devices with 3.2 ports?

I don't have an Axe-Fx, but if I understand the signal flow ... In CbB Audio track 1 has a filter & 2 aux track sends. Aux 1 has MultiCp and GEQ & Aux 2 has Cab and PEQ. The track one sends will be pre and the track fader turned all the way down. This will be true for mix 1 and 2 as well. Create an aux track for the output of aux 1 and set the output of aux 2 to it as well - call it mix 1 and put T-match & chorus on it. Mix 1 has 2 aux track sends - aux 3 & 4, one has Synth and the other has Comp and their outputs go to another aux track - mix 2. Mix 2 has 2 aux track sends - aux 5 & 6 and each has a delay and their outputs go to another aux track mix 3. Most reverbs have a mix control so I wouldn't bother with putting reverb on a parallel track so, mix 3 has Vol/Pan, Reverb, GEQ and Enhance. On the sends and outputs reduce the volume by 5 db or so.

I thought there was a limit for some time. I normally link to images. If you want to display a screenshot you need to upload it to a file sharing site.

As an FYI I played around with TH3 a bit and it looks like they want the loudest chord you can play to be 0 dB. At that level I'm running around -2 or -3 dB. If you don't have any vsts on the track what is loudest level you get with that Line 6?

If your IF has an instrument input use that. Check to see if there are any buttons or switches to change the input level between line level and instrument level. If not then you'll need to use a preamp.

I'm guessing you're writing about Axe IO Solo and not Axe Fx. And you have a separate expression pedal or some kind of foot controller plugged into it? After selecting the Axe i/o as a midi input source in the preferences menu, create a MIDI track and select Axe i/o as the track input and select echo on. Inside AT5 or any vst you're using (in an audio track) select the VST2/3 in the top bar and select Enable MIDI Input. In AT5 you then right click on a knob and select listen and move the expression pedal.

What software are you using?

You don't say what you're trying to do. I use a Roland FC-300 foot controller. Connect to the computer with a MIDI IF, in your case an IF cable. In Edit preferences select it under MIDI -> Devices -> Input. Create a MIDI track, select your MIDI IF as the track input and select echo on. The fcb1010 is popular with guitarists. If you have an amp sim on an audio track, say AT5, select the VST2/3 in the top bar and select Enable MIDI Input. In AT5 you then right click on a knob and select listen and move a foot pedal.
