Satson user's help

guys im getting some high level white noise from the satson console emulator!!
what is the best setting for it

What else is in your chain?
Unless its from the source track or you're driving Satson EXTREMELY hard there shouldn't be any white noise.

+1. I use Satson everyday and have NEVER had this issue.

Check your gain-staging...

if you have say, 150 tracks with an instance of satson on each im sure youll end up with some noise but it shouldnt be at a super high level.... thats an extreme case.

VCC is much noisier (not a bad thing, imho) than SatSon and VTM even more so (again, not a bad thing and is variable!)

How high is this high level noise? Also don't pin the needle all the damn time if it's that loud.

Also gate.

Satson is doing what, exactly? If you turn your amp sim off does the noise go away?

Don't you think that defeats the purpose of Satson if you're only using it on the DI...

What's the saturation at the end of the chain?
Some people like the effect console's have on DI's, but I'd probably do:

tubescreamer > amp sim > cab IR > Satson (the VU meter can be handy here for gain staging) > other saturation > noise gate > EQ.

i guess i was using it in the wrong way....Thanks a lot guys
and the Vu meter is really great
