Hi, thanks in advance for any advice, here is my question:
The quality of my guitar sound is quite noticeably better into headphones via the headphone jack on my DSM&Humboldt Simplifier pre-amp and cab sim pedal while I play the guitar than it is in playback after recording the part into Cubase 5 via my Steinberg UR22MkII audio interface. Does anyone know why? Or what I should try to troubleshoot the quality degradation? To me it seems like Cubase 5 is just digitizing the signal badly and losing information, but from what I can tell the preference settings are correct and should not be causing this issue (I realize it's probably time to upgrade regardless, this version I use debuted in 2009).
The guitar sounds great with lots of airyness and detail in it coming straight from the headphone jack of the pedal so why can't I capture that to my recorded track?
