recording 5150 with impulse-stupid monitoring question

[rispsira]

Guys im using a saffire pro 10io and a thd hotplate set at load with my 5150, using IRs.

I thought i was monitoring through the daw (cubase) but when i turned monitoring off i noticed i was still getting sound which is why i was so frustrated i have been hearing the dry signal which is really fuzzy and have a phasey sound as well because of the wet signal being there.

I just cant for the hell of me figure out how to turn off the incoming signal from going out directly- without muting the whole thing lol

Any help?

bump.

Any help with my noob question?

Should i be looking at my DAW to kill the dry signal? or is it an interface issue??

disable direct monitoring in interface?

Go into Saffire Control, and mute the incoming track. Then just listen to the direct signal.

Ouch what a dumb ass.. I was muting the outputs.. duh.

Thanks a lot for the help! Now my last problem is getting rid of the ground loop!

Thanks again!

Plug your interface, PC, Amp, and monitors all into the same power strip. This should eliminate the ground loop

Thanks again Guitarguru for all the help! I guess i knew that but i was too lazy to go buy a new plug hehe because the 5150 cant reach the outlet used for all the rest!

I tried desoldering the shield end of the cable connected on the hotplate side and it worked! before the cable died because i suck at that hahaha (but i did use a REALLY cheap cable to try it on!)

Otherwise i have an isolation transformer but i need it in my rack!!

So I guess im just gonna need to shut up and plug it in the same outlet like you siad

Cheers guitarguru
