    cpu processes the all the information from the external or internal sound card especially in a daw, so it does matter. maybe you had a decent cpu back then or your settings were on cheapo mode. meaning low quality hz and bits and buffering. you can make your sound quality playable but low quality and get lower latency.

    I needed to know one more thing Steve how do you go about connecting the focusrite to a mixer? I also need to know if I use a condenser mic would put that through the mixer or the focusrite. At the moment I have the M-Audio Delta PCI interface sound card it does work but I can't use my condenser mic when playing guitar at all because my audio signal seems to be the same for both mic and guitar. I tried to change it but it when I do I can't hear anything because it needs the selected default input and output. The reason this is happening is because I am using a standard stereo receiver which connects from the receiver to the sound card interface. I have to do the same for the mixer the the DI-box is connected to the mixer so is the mic I thought I could route the signal but it looks like I can't. The sound from TH3 seems to affect and distort the mic very badly so it looks like I will have to go with the powered speakers to solve this. I can't find a way to to make this work when using a mic. without the mic it works pretty well but I need both do you think I will need the focusrite as well as the speakers ?

  • @SFBGuitar

    That can be tricky. It depends on whether the software places an exclusive claim to the audio hardware (it seems most do). That's why getting amp sim software that can load an audio track for playback is a serious consideration. But that's only if loaded in "stand alone" mode. If you use something like Reaper as the VST host, then it's a non-issue because you can just import the audio into Reaper on another track.

    It seems like they all do. It's very hit or miss. The amp sim wants to control the hardware exclusively to get the best performance. Reaper is a Digital Audio Workstation. Just look up "Reaper DAW" on Google and you'll get all the info. It's free for 60 days, but then you have to pay. It's not expensive, though, it's like under $100.

    I have a question. I own a focusrite scarlett solo 3gen. I plug my guitar to the instrument input (i dont have a DI box). Everything is great untill.... I try the distorsion amp in amplitube. Its sounds horrible. I have no clue why. I've tried with different amps, changed drivers, Player with knobs and options in amplitube, all for nothing. I have thought, that it might be the problem of USB interface, so I tried with zoom g2.1 U, powered normally. I got the same result. I have no idea What's wrong.... Can u help me?

    Do you have active pickups? If I'm not mistaken, active pickups put out a line level signal, so you'd just need to flip the switch from instrument to line and it'd be fine. That's how it works on my 2i2, anyway.

    Very helpful video. Clear instructions and the tips on buying used are appreciated. I finally got my Scarlett 2i2 and software setup correctly. I do not record at home, but I use the set up for audio file playback to practice with. I use headphones into the 2i2 and the guitar into the DI box into the 2i2. Amplitiude is a great amp emulator and Audacity is a great and free open-source audio editor that works well for mp3, wav, etc. play back. Thanks again Steve!
