SWright Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I’m pretty new to home recording and even newer to amp, cab, and pedal sims. The first song I recorded with Cakewalk used a guitar and overdrive pedal into my M-TRACK SOLO interface and it sounded okay. I found the TH3 plug-in and thought I would give it a try. The problem I’m running into is that pretty much every head has unwanted noise. Think bad instrument and patch cables with a cheaply-made pedal. The high-gain heads are worse. I’ve tried different guitars (all humbucker), getting further away from my computer (suggestion I read online), the noise gate pedal, and just turning down the level and/or gain. The latter helps the most, followed by the gate pedal. The other two steps did nothing. I’m not a fan of the gate pedal, so I’m hoping someone in here has had the same issue and resolved it. The computer is Windows 11, has an i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and almost nothing on the hard drive. I’m only using it for recording. There was no noise when I just recorded without TH3.

scook Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Was the TH3 input level set as described in page 7 of the manual? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Real amps make noise. High gain amps make a lot of noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fret_man Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Does the noise go away when you unplug the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP said 13 hours ago, SWright said: There was no noise when I just recorded without TH3. Therefore it is just a setting in the plug in. I always have to turn the Amps WAY down. The default is a red line with a modest -10.0 db signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
