    How do you guys typically record with amp sims? Gain or no gain on your interface?

    I'm no expert, but I believe it's because the number is headroom, so a bigger number = more headroom = lower input volume from the instrument. The video is essentially saying that the amp sims are expecting somewhere around 12 and so if you're above it, you need to boost, below it you need to...

    How do you guys typically record with amp sims? Gain or no gain on your interface?

    The owners manual for your interface says +10dBu for the line/instrument input. According to the video, you'd want to set the gain on your interface to 0, and cut a little but of gain on the input level of NDSP. I tested this myself last night with my Scarlett 2i2 (3rd gen), which has a max...

    This is exactly what I just wrote. Did you not read my post?

    How do you guys typically record with amp sims? Gain or no gain on your interface?

    Yes, I've always had that video in mind as well. But the major difference, what makes ALL the difference here, is that Misha is taking a line level out of the Axefx, which is a finished tone, post amp and FX. If I was plugging my HX Stomp into my 2i2, I would do the same thing he's going. But...

    How do you guys typically record with amp sims? Gain or no gain on your interface?

    @Matt08642 that tracks pretty well with what John is saying in that video. And looking at the specs for your interface, it looks like it's pretty hot even at 0 gain so your results make sense.

    WTB Ibanez AZ224F - FOUND

    I'm trying to find this guitar in either Trans Ruby or Brown Topaz Burst. Located in Canada.

    Ibanez 2024 NAMM

    I really want an HSS Premium AZ. I don't need to spend 3k CAD for a strat right now (AZ2204 Prestige), and I really liked the AZ224F that they discontinued. They're pretty hard to find used unfortunately.

    NGD: Ibanez RG2228-GK

    What pickups do you have in it? This one comes with Fusion Edge pickups it looks like, were those any good?

    I seek to capture THICC tone and a wide, expansive sound. Did I succeed?

    New (2023) version is definitely a lot better overall. Very nice. My only comment is regarding the kick drum. While the old had no punch and sub bass, the new one is missing top end I think. I can't hear it in the later parts of the song. Maybe it needs more compression, I'm not sure, I'd need...

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    I always thought that the PRS Custom 24 + Petrucci pickups is the closest/best alternative to the Majesty. It's not a perfect match, but it checks enough of the boxes while avoiding the preamp, boost, piezo stuff, and a slightly thicker neck. I'm sure some would disagree with that, that's ok.

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    Yeah, but a boost and peizo are things I really really don't want. I'd buy a passive non-peizo Majesty in a heartbeat. These things don't justify the large gap in price IMO.

    2024 - "just buy a used Prestige"

    Ibanez 2024 NAMM

    Somehow that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. On the one hand, it's impressive the guitars they build as a side hustle, and on the other hand, it's unfortunate that Ibanez doesn't have enough demand to take it "seriously". In contrast to PRS who are so dedicated to their products that they...

    PRS (SE) 2024

    Just installed a set of DiMarzio Illuminator pickups in my Custom 24 Quilt and it sounds phenominal. I loved everything about this guitar out of the box except the tone, and now it's perfect! I'm definitely going to get a 594 in 2024.

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    I enjoyed your journey. I like hearing what you like and not like about different guitars. GAS is one hell of a drug... PS: I recently got into PRS and the SE Custom 24 I have (with upgraded DiMarzio Illuminators) is now my #1.

    Portnoy is back in Dream Theater

    That was an excellent interview/playthrough. I do look forward to the other guys being interviewed about Mike coming back. Hopefully they get into a little more detail about it.

    Thoughts on these extensions cabs for the Iconic 5150 15w

    I haven't found many clips of this specific speaker I have. You're probably thinking of the G12-EVH, not the G12H-EVH. They look different, and one is 20w and the other is 25w. The G12-EVH is in a bunch of comparison videos, including a big one from Zilla cabs where they compare it to a bunch...

    Thoughts on these extensions cabs for the Iconic 5150 15w

    So, while I'm waiting for a replacement, I was doing a bit more research, and I found out that the 30w anniversary speaker is made in China, while the G12H-EVH that I currently have in this cab is made In England. Now I'm thinking that maybe I should stick with this England made speaker instead...
