Amplitube 4 sounds wrong.

Postby alhilgendorf » Wed Apr 29, 2020 4:34 am

I'm at my wits end with this one. I have Amplitube 4 with quite a few extras, version 4.9.1 which, I believe is the latest. It just doesn't sound right. All the distortions are fizzy and the cleans sound almost like a direct signal. It sounds like I'm running pedals direct into the interface (Roland Quad Capture) without an amp. I've gone through all the settings and made sure gain staging was correct. The crazy thing is, I have Guitar Rig 5, Bias FX 2 and Toontrack EZ Mix and they all sound fine. Amplitube sounds this way in stand alone and in VST mode. At this point it seems like a software issue but I don't know. Thanks!!

Hello alhilgendorf and welcome to the forums.

Just to check that you've got the Mix control on the Quad Capture turned fully anti-clockwise to Playback?

Thanks, garfy, yes. I am only monitoring the amp sim. As I said, my other products sound great which leads me to believe it's not the hardware.

Well, that was about my best guess for what you're describing I'm afraid.

As this is a user-to-user forum and not direct to IKM support, in case no one else chimes in here with advice or a solution, you should raise a ticket with IK official support here https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/mi/

They endeavour to respond to tickets within 2 working days, but obviously with the current situation this may be a little longer at the moment.
