Hi everyone. Got it up and running now thank to Mickey, but the input volume is very low and the meters hardly move even with the input gain set fully up and the gain on the Riffworks monitor fully up. Gearbox volume is still ok though. Must be something really simple, but what?

First thought would be...on the bottom of Amplitube, there's little knobs for both the input and output levels. If that's not it, let us know! You should get more than enough volume out of it and into RiffWorks.

Cheers,

J.J.

No that's not it they are both up full and the input metes are hardly moving...And I mean hardly moving...like 1 maybe 2 bars of green...I should eb able to really drive it according to the manual...

What ASIO device are you using? - GuitarPort, TonePort, StealthPlug etc.

by **cwight** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 8:34 pm

Hi Scott, it's guitarport. All the levels are ok with Gearbox..

by **cwight** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 8:36 pm

Ok, just noticed something weird. If I open up Gearbox the same time as Amplitube my levels are ok...

Do I have to have gearbox running to use amplituibe?

by **scott** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 8:57 pm

No. You need to disable the 'Hardware' button to avoid the audio signal being routed through both amp modellers.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the big volume knob on your GuitarPort turned all the way to the right?

by **cwight** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:12 pm

No its not stupid and it's not all the way either. That's because the I'm using the GP as my sound card, so if I turn it all the way up all my output levels are way too high. Am I missing something simple here.

by **cwight** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:15 pm

I already like the sound of amplitube though... More natural than gearbox...

by **cwight** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:19 pm

Ok think I've got it. turn GP up full and my powered speakers right down....

Is this it?

by **scott** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:22 pm

... or both somewhere in the middle. Whatever gets the cleanest signal at the best level. Just play about by changing things. The crew here are always willing to give you an opinion to help you.

If you already own RiffWorks, then you don't have to pay the full price to crossgrade:
