I sit on you.
Alright, alright. You caught me - Behringer gear.
I just needed something to lay scratch tracks down with!
Anyhow, I've been fiddling around with this thing for HOURS now, trying to figure out what going on.
For starters, here's my current signal chain:
V-AMP Pro XLR (L,R) to Delta 1010LT XLR IN (1,2).
Simple enough, right?
I've got a few other pieces of outboard gear (preamps) and never have any problems with gain and volume levels. I do all my mixing in Sonar and easily make slight adjustments.
Now, when I'm in Sonar, just monitoring my XLR INs in stereo, there's between 25-30dB of hiss. Just plain old hiss. I've discovered that the hiss stays even when there is no guitar plugged into the V-Amp. Also, it's not the cables. I've got plenty of decent cables, and I've tried quite a few.
So I'm running balanced from the V-Amp to the 1010LT and it appears the V-Amp is just sending a signal that is much too hot.
Of course, I've got the V-Amp on the lowest volume/gain settings, and I'm pretty sure it's nothing I can directly edit on the V-Amp. So what's going on?
I have tried using the unbalanced line outs on the V-Amp, but then I loose my Cab/Speaker Simulation!
Is the V-Amp really that loud? If so, that's one hell of a noise floor; ie: a P.O.S.
