OK,
Back from my micro holiday. Connected everything up, including mic; amp emulated out and GT-001. I'm getting this noise. Guitar volume is right down. It's reaching about -25db https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/noise As I've only used the GT-001 before I haven't heard anything like it. This is from input 1, the changes are when I wiggle the jack plug. Input 2 is the same but I haven't figured out how to get the signal into the DAW from anything other than input 1 yet and I didn't have to do anything for that, it just seems to automatically do input 1. If I plug a guitar straight into the input it is perfect. I set the inputs to "instrument" but it does the same on "line". Any ideas? I don't think it's the 18i8 to be honest but what do I know   Thanks for your help, again folks.

Thanks Mertay,
It stops when I remove the jack. The guitar volume was turned right down which would, I think, stop any interference from the pickups being sent to the GT-001 and into the 18i8. The GT-001 had the Satriani patch running that I used for my recent REC take that has a couple of high gain amps running in the patch. I hope I can sort this out as I'm not getting any practise done  Tomorrow I think I'll plug the GT-001 into the front of the Peavey to see if it sounds the same.

Thanks folks,
Guitar straight in is perfect, line just makes it quieter but I have to turn the gain up to get decent levels so that ends up the same. I haven't tried anything else yet but will tonight. I never messed with any input output settings on the GT-001 except for output level which is a physical knob on the unit, basically a volume. I did alter the mic preamp in the settings but that's not where this problem is. I can see me going back to just using the GT001 at this rate The shop I had it from gives full refund for 14 days and exchange up to 30 days.

Thanks Mertay,
I guess I've just got the blues about it, which isn't like me, I'm the eternal optimist  The thing is, I still need to use it without the amp at times, when I have little time and need to post a take for REC, and need to get a close tone or if it's late at night. I don't want to have to keep switching the source from Focusrite to GT. I have a lot of figures to do for work tonight but I'll try and experiment a bit. Cheers mate

Ok,
I got home from work with a heavy schedule but couldn't leave this thing alone. Here is the best I can get it. What do you think? https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/noise-0 -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I found out that when my splitter is plugged in to output to my Peavey and my GT-001 I get that interference. My splitter is one of THESE So I'll have to give up on the multiple inputs for the time being as I can't got direct to the amp AND the GT-001. I guess I need to find out why the interference is happening, but at least I've found it I never thought something like a switchbox could cause that.

Thanks Mertay,
It's pretty new, I haven't really used it only when I was messing with two amp heads and one can and it worked without the battery. Now I have the battery in. I tried using it further away but it's not like it's picking up interference from "around" a device, only when I plug a cable from one of the outlets to the Peavey input. I'll email them tomorrow. I am using shielded cables too Cheers buddy Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

OK, here's something interesting.
Listen to the difference between the two valve heads. Peavey Valveking 20MH and Vox Lil' Night Train, TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN FOR THE VOX. I kept the same cables and everything, I had to turn down the gain on the 18i8 for the Vox to stop clipping. So it's guitar into one of the inputs, output B to Vox head, output A to GT-001. If I pull the output to the Vox out, it goes quiet. https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/noise-peavey https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/noise-vox Additionally, here is a recording with the output to the Vox and me scrolling through about 19 patches. Now keep in mind, the output to the Vox (and the Peavey) is direct from the switch, so it should be guitar in>guitar out to head and, guitar in>guitar out to GT-001, these should effectively be separate outputs. It seems to me that the signal from the GT-001 is actually being fed back to the switch and into the other output of the switch. Very very weird to my mind but some electronics guru may think it's obvious why. https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/noise-vox-various-patches I can't do anything about this pedal as I've had it beyond the returns limit so can anyone recommend a good splitter? At least then I can send it back immediately if it gives me hassle. Cheers folks, I have some odd things happen here in the Twilight Zone eh?  -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Mar 1 2016, 08:39 PM)  The splitter may be creating an "impedance mis match" (long word for resulting in extra noise) so getting a better splitter may help. the gt001 has stereo out, can you set half the signal to be just plain non fx signal? That way you could send the right half to your amp or what not. Can you turn off everything right/vs left? if so, feeding the i8 from the fx on left out and feeding the amp with dry from right out would let you use the gt001 as the splitter Todd  confused.com Thanks Todd, I'll try to work that one out. Need to get some practise in though or else Gab will have me in detention  Update: Now for some reason I'm getting only sound from my guitar, no PC sounds/youtube etc. This is confusing me Update: Managed to get all sound from left channel only  Update: Sorted it. Don't know how it got changed to start with but the output to the monitors has to be set at DAW1 (L) and DAW2® which seems odd as I don't have my DAW running. I guess it's me not understanding the terminology  Cheers buddy

Chech this out; http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behr...-a-kind-DI-Dire
I've had this for 10 years now (bought used) and thought it was discontiuned till now. But haven't used it for atleast 2 years it can split the signal to 3 outputs. I clearly remember once did what you're trying to do; 1 channel direct guitar to daw, 2 processor to DAW. I only had 2 channel soundcard at home at the time but it worked noiseless enough as far as I remember, don't expect miracles though as its a budget di box and you'll need xlr-to-line cables. Radial is the king for this kind of stuff, why not e-mail them briefly explain what you need as not everything they have is too expensive; http://www.radialeng.com/index.php This post has been edited by Mertay: Mar 1 2016, 10:48 PM |

Nice! I didn't know that unit could connect channels but if it can it would be perfect! once to amp, one to i8 and one to spare or use as stereo.
