    There are lots of ways to do it with interruption. Doing it without interruption is tricky. I like Scook's idea of using the Matrix. You can trigger loops with a midi controller to start different sections when you're ready. :-)

    I have since given some thought to how to block one instance of THU from looping while not blocking another. If you have the same midi input on 2 different midi tracks (one to the first instance of THU and the other to the 2nd instance of THU), you could use a midi filter to block the loop instructions to the second instance of THU. I haven't tried it yet, but it might work.

    @Piotr if they don't make some improvements to the Looper, I'll have to agree with you. That said, it looks like they are going to get it dialed in fairly well. While not awesome, it is way better than th3 Looper which was really so bad as to not be useful. Juan of the odd things to me is that loop start and stop is a global setting only. if you drop three instances of th3 in your project, they will all loop together. You can't start a loop on one track with one amp then play over it with another without looping both. This assumes your midi input is the same device for both instances.

    @dantarbill https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Region_FX.07.html You can copy the region to a midi track and drag the row of midi events to any midi note you like.

    Is your audio set to use asio? What interface are you using? Have you run resplendent latency checker to resolve dpc call latency in your system?

    Cakewalk doesn't do this well. If you are willing to play the first bit then hit stop... Click the clip and ctrl+l and drag the clip out, you can then record over the loop on another track... This gets you what you are talking about but the flow gets interrupted and it is fiddly. This is what Filo describes above. Th3 has a Looper you can trigger with a midi pedal. Thu, the newer version, has a better Looper, but they are still working on it. I've been using it this weekend and enjoying it, but there are times when I'm like wtf. When you use the Looper with the midi pedal, you can record the long guitar track but listen back hearing the loops. You could also record the actual output as well on an aux track.

    Follow up To be clear, soundwise is brilliant and 1000 times the musician i am. I was only pointing out that you can replace a variety of components with the real thing for a nice improvement. This doesn't mean that you can't get cool sounds entirely within Thu. I only mean there are lots of ways to enjoy the plugin.

    From the th3/thu manuals... In the master controls section Sensitivity: changes input sensitivity as much as it would be on a real amp. LOW is best suited for single coils, HIGH usually works better with humbuckers. This doesn't tell you how the amp was modelled, but it might help it sound better. Imho, amp models are cool, but just not that close to the real thing. I wonder if one of the reasons to not let us model our own amps is it would make obvious to everyone how limited the technology really is. I tried isolating the mics and found a huge difference between modelled mics and the real thing. That doesn't mean i don't love thu for convenience and cost effectiveness. I do. And i paid the upgrade price the moment it became available.

    I was using my fcb1010 with the loop features in th-u today. 1. When ending a loop, it automatically begins overdubbing the same loop. 2. Sometimes when i stomp to end the overdubbing, the volume of the loop would jump to 0. 3. I wasn't able to get the undo to undo anything ever. 4. I was able to map all the controls to the fcb1010 and have tons of fun. 5. There is more than a small chance that the only problem is me. .... Opposite of Soundwise, i sometimes use only the fx and send out through my reamp box to my real amp. This is tons of fun and let's me play with the stomp boxes and order of stomp boxes easily. .... Folks earlier in the thread asked about single coil vs humbucker. There is an input setting in th3/thu for single coil vs humbucker. I can't remember how to describe it. It is mentioned in the th3 manual. My only electric is a strat with lace single coil pickups, so i never use the humbucker setting.

    Any chance you had a midi controller set up?

    I think the external insert is cool if you want to move the position around within an array of other plugins. When you're really looping back the track, it works just the same (at least based on what I did in the video). In other words, the latency compensation for a round trip, sending out and returning back in to the interface works the same as the external insert for all intents and purposes. The external insert can be moved around within the FX Bin. It's just another way to skin the cat. It's not the only way. The null test is a useful thing conceptually to make sure you have optimally aligned your track but MAutoAlign can help with that too. In my video it detected a one sample difference in one of the recorded pairs. The bounce to tracks feature will notice the presence of the external effect and prevent you from doing a fast bounce when you are using it. This is kinda helpful. If you intend to record the output of your external effect, I think it matters a lot less and might be barely worth the trouble.

    I sometimes use track templates for a fast start. I blend synth with guitar with Roland gr20 synth. I usually use a rapture pro pad because errant guitar midi sounds bad when too precise and loud. That might mean i suck, but i can get cool sounds for a sucky guitar player like me. I have a sustain pedal. I like using my touch screen with the xy controls in rapture pro for swooping weirdness. Because i am usually playing my guitar through my real pedals and amp, there is huge variance in my sounds night to night. I have a 16 year old child who twists the knobs for fun all the time and when I'm not there. It is like a syntorial ear challenge to dial everything back to something that inspires me. https://www.syntorial.com Sometimes i listen to a recording from 20 years ago and think awesome! I wonder if i can get that sound again!

    Thanks. Not a perfect video. Direct output works the same as using external insert in terms of alignment. External insert might make it easier to mix original with effected track live without printing our moving the send around between effects. Idk. I was surprised that both seemed to work equally well. Thanks

    Hey Synkrotron... I made the new vid. What do you think?
  15. Gswitz
    it's quieter than i would have imagined. ?
  16. Gswitz
    When it happens,can you see it on the master bus? It could be feedback from routing an interface to the outputs. If it is going through cakewalk, the volume should show in the meter and the spectrum analyzer should show the frequency.

    I'm thinking the video is bad advice. I'll take it down - maybe make a good one. Thanks for the info.
  18. Gswitz
    I think i didn't understand what you were doing. Glad it worked well for you.

    @synkrotron If you find my video is now wrong or misleading, I'll take it down. I was probably following directions from a sonar power book, not online help. My info could be old, bad or both. I tend to print the data from external inserts before using it. The off set only helps me align it with the original. It isn't hard to do it manually, if you want, by zooming in on the wave form. One of my favorite plugins is melda mautoalign. This helps me minimize phase issues. I usually compare 2 alignments ... Keep the best of the 2 and do another, again keeping the best of the 2. I find that the alignment tool often correctly measures the feet between each Mic.

    When i record a band with input monitoring (meaning inputs into the rme are sent with virtually 0 latency to headphones or monitors) and no pc based sounds, I usually raise the sample buffer as high as it will go because the buffer is only a risk, not a benefit, given that it isn't impacting the musicians. From your description it sounds like the musicians were listen to tracks in the computer as well. Still, I'm not sure your buffer needed to be low. It's a decent question to ask yourself when recording... What is the safest buffer i can have without trade-offs?
  21. Gswitz
    Thanks, Jim. I sometimes wish for two more channels. I have a spidf input. I haven't seen a good 1u 2 channel pre with spidf out. Perhaps i should look elsewhere for the spidf conversion. There are lots of 1u 2 channel pres without spidf. I thought I'd mention it in case i was overlooking something.

    Not as tidy as some of you.
  24. Gswitz
    The sample buffer you are using is pretty large. If you haven't done so, try latency checker and see if some optional process is the cause of your crackling.

    Just watched a video on Fyre Fest. I thought to myself, Geoff, you could do that gig. See, I've got a talent for mass hysteria. And nothing is what i get on average for the gigs i do, so the pay would be sufficient. And in my free time, i could record rich kids crying. I'll bundle the loops. Maybe Craig could help me turn them into groove clips. CbB could split all their profits with me and Craig that they get distributing the samples with Cakewalk. I'd make double the nothing i was originally booked for.
