Hi All,
Pretty frustrated with my setup. While I'm a lot closer now on capturing my sound (cloudlifter cl-1 helped a lot), I'm getting this annoying sibilance (high pitched sss sound) when tracking my overdriven strat lead sounds. I don't remember having this issue a while back when I used an M-Audio mobilepre.
I noticed the mobilepre has 55 db of gain as opposed to 46db for the Scarlett 2i2 I'm currently using. Could it be the interface? I'm using an sm57 into cloudlifter into the 2i2. Gain on the 2i2 is set at roughly 2 o'clock, can't have it any lower otherwise I lose too much power and don't get a nice fat wave.
