The question that was asked is not always the question that needs to be answered. "Took preventative measures to ensure reliability." " I have bought at least 7 of these in the last four years and, they are still hard to find in most cases and never last very long." "...this product is very cheaply made, and very prone to degradation, just look at all the other reviews pointing this out." "The cable is not worth getting. Had it for several months now, properly maintained, and put away, and it's already breaking." "works with repairs" That's from only the first 5 Amazon reviews. Hardly a ringing endorsement of the Rocksmith Realtone Cable. To my mind, that tells me it is absolute confirmed junk. Look, I well understand that money can be tight. Believe me, I have been there: having to decide which bill doesn't get paid this month. But I am also a realist; I can see nothing but disappointment in the OP's near future if he continues to fiddle-f*** with this garbage. Maybe it seems harsh, but I come from a world where not facing the truth can't get you hurt really really badly. And a world where nobody will coddle you and if you don't have thick skin you're going to get your little feelings hurt really bad. The truth don't care about your feelings. I see no good reason to give the op false hope. Doing so isn't doing him any favors. This Rocksmith cable is garbage. It belongs in the recycling bin. From the looks of the reviews it's not even good for its intended purpose, which is not multitrack recording. The fact of the matter is that to have any chance of successful results in this endeavor, you need to invest in proper equipment. And that costs an amount of money greater than $0 It's great that BandLab has made such an incredible amazing tool available for free. Unfortunately it seems to have brought out of the woodwork a bunch of people who think that they will be able to become professional record producers with little other investment.

My answers are designed to solve the issue. Solve it, not band-aid it.

That is not my experience.

I'm.... I think they just answered your question.

Why is that an issue?

A decent interface can be had for around $100.

Huh? What?

All I can really advise is don't let perfect become the enemy of good enough.

Next time, select both tracks and edit them simultaneously.

So then you probably have a much better idea of what you want to hear then I do of what I want to hear!

? Oh, crap. That sucks.

I ended up getting a drum kit & started learning to play. I'm sure you are aware that the sound you hear on the record is NOT the sound that was in the room. They are the result of - you guessed it - lots of processing.

I thought part of the idea was for the user to mix and process them as if they were real drums.

This is the only place I've seen so many people complain so much about free stuff.

You rebooted the computer yet? Seriously, it's well past time to update a version that is over 10 years old. CbB is so vastly improved over SPLAT, let alone 8.5.3 it's unreal. Especially for free there is absolutely no excuse not to.

You could pretend to be Jon Lord and play the Hammond B-3X through a Marshall...

Then it would only make sense to use those accepted industry standard pro practices to make that happen.

Nope. Not quite. https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/gain-staging-what-it-is-and-how-to-do-it.html https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/gain-staging/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_stage It's your project. You can do whatever you want. Don't get mad if you don't get the results you wwant

Two-year-old thread

What are you plugging these 8 different mics into?

High probability that what changed is that his substandard game controller cable crapped out like so many reviewers on Amazon noted. FWIW, there seems to be quite a number of videos on YouTube about how to fix one. Not so many about fixing a Presonus or Focusrite 2 channel audio interface though....

I'm guessing "no." 99.99% of these brain-dead simple issues could be solved almost instantly - without having to wait for hours, or even days, on a response to a forum post - by READING THE FLIPPING MANUAL!

And why not? That thing isn't even intended for recording; it's a game controller. And a really crappy one at that. Read the Amazon reviews. Over and over about how they work for a short time and then quit working. Was is the operative word here. The way to fix this is to save up your pennies and buy a decent audio interface. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth; you're gonna have to spend some money.

EQ. Better instruments. EQ some better instruments.

Ditch that garbage and get a real audio interface with a real ASIO driver.
