    Periphery Creativelive

    I believe this is a base for great results...many people, especially not so experienced artists, don't realize that and they think that there are some special, magic plugins used at mixing or later at mastering stage that will fix source issues... :bah:

    Signal strength help

    I have Komplete Audio 6 and use Reaper - when I go directly to the interface I set gain knob on instrument input to level when I don't get any clipping in Reaper (clean signal path) when I play some things that produce highest peaks - big chords, pinch harmonics etc.. I don't get any clipping on...

    Let's play another round of "Recommend me an interface"

    another happy NIKA6 user here. if you experience ground loops, check your cables and connections, don't blame interface itself - cannot do much with it as it's bus powered.

    Purchasing an amp advice?

    they obviously doesn't have that much low end like 4x12s, but it's nothing that you cannot live without. some people prefer 2x12s over 4x12s, even for heavy styles

    Purchasing an amp advice?

    I would avoid any higher wattage Engl for low volume use - they really sound bad that way, they need to be cranked. I wouldn't be worried about clarity with EL84s in power amp, Engl preamps are made to be super tight even at full gain settings. if Engl cabs are expensive in Canada, then go for...

    Updating REAPER, anything to worry about?

    try to update your wifi driver to the latest version. I had the same issue on various USB powered interfaces. Cracks were gone after I updated wifi driver (the workaround I used till then was to disable wifi on my laptop) never had an issue with updating Reaper

    Best sounding out-of-the-box drums

    when you're not interested in mixing, then you won't go wrong with any expansion pack, stock presets sound decent or better said are OK sounding. real fun begins when you go deeper, route outputs into your DAW and you'll process it like you would real drums.

    Discussion: Not using a tubescreamer

    depends on amp, music style and tuning. the heavier, low tuned stuff will benefit from using TS. there are also some amp + TS combinations that works well and there is no need to change it - DR, 5150 style amps. I found out that even when you mod amps like DR or 5150 to make it tighter on their...

    Free Eventide Channel Strip Plugin :-O

    I contacted Eventide support, because of that because it didn't do anything for me. they said it may be caused by higher load on their servers.

    How good are the Le Poulin amp sims?

    I liked Lecto, that was really good, paired with some Mesa OS IR. I used TS pedal in front of my interface instead of some VST TS808 plugin. it sounded and feel was more realistic
