My recording setup is GTCore > Q/Strip/DI > Focusrite Clarett > Logic. Also connected to Logic via USB. I’m monitoring directly from the Interface and can record using USB. I’m a bit perplexed by the noise suppressor, and I did get some weird noise from it a few days ago. My pedal noise gate is one knob, easy to use. I would have thought the graphical EQ had sliders. I’m not liking the one colour knobs in Tone Studio. When I registered the unit with Roland Backstage, I had a couple of conversations with the support tech about improvements and general queries.

Been trying ASIO link today. It seems to have the building blocks to achieve this, but it doesn't integrate with REAPER nicely (if I focus another application, it shuts down) and I'm having trouble with the network connection dropping sound. Guessing that's a settings problem, but I feel like I'm running into the usual issues I've faced when working with software routing before, which is why I generally lean towards hardware solutions nowadays.
Reaper grabs & releases the ASIO driver when you change window focus (and ASIO Link naturally follows suit), so it's a problem I've always had with Reaper. But that should be the case whatever you throw at Reaper with or without a DI box. How do you normally record into it?
My usual setup is just with my Scarlett 18i20, which is extended over ADAT with a Behringer Ultragain 8200. On my pedalboard I have an eight channel DI that taps into my signals at various points and they're all hooked up to the Ultragain. I'll probably switch to just using the Ultragain for every-day use and record with the Core's USB when needed, as I don't really need to record the final signal tap. Third is placed after effects, then I add cab sim, master reverb, and looper. Fourth is placed after that so it's mostly for monitoring. In recording I apply cab sim and reverb in DAW. This also lets me record at 96kHz, since ADAT can only carry eight channels at 48kHz, or four channels at 96kHz. Not to mention that the Ultragain doesn't go higher than 48kHz.
@YawningJorin So apparently that's an easy fix.
Reaper->Options->Preferences->Audio->Close audio device when stopped and application is inactive
Uncheck that to disable that behavior. ASIO Link will work like a charm. Not sure why you need the network routing option, without that there should be zero sound issues.

Oh, that's a great tip! I'm not sure how else I'm supposed to be able to use both devices in ASIO Link though.
Copy/move it to User 002, so you only need to flip between 001 and 002.
No. But you can set up 3 channels per preset and assign each foot switch to a channel. 24 blocks to cover those 3 channels. And also use an external foot switch go through the preset numbers.
You reminded me of this Boss image. I wondered how it worked. I guess the FS-7 foot switch does the up/down presets, then there's the three assignable foot switches for sounds/channels, and the expression pedal. Cheers.

Currently re-wiring my pedalboard. I was going to just take some of the pedals out but I ended up removing about half the board. Two comps, one mimiq, two gates, a massive rack EQ, and my EHX Cathedral. So with all that I figured I may as well do the wiring over from scratch. Gonna be a could of days until I'll have it set up again and I pray that I have the right cables for my current plan because I am not looking forward to soldering a bunch more.
A fantastic tutorial on using a MIDI controller with the GTCore
Either the machine has limitations, or more likely Patrick Hunter makes everything sound very similar and more rubbish than it is across his demo’s - it really isn’t the greatest advert for it - not much is Patrick reviews I am sorry to say.
I am sure the unit is more capable at copping a good tone
No doubt Patrick had limited time making that video. If he had spent just twenty minutes perfecting each tone that would still have been six hours of extra work. An approximation of the tones is no doubt good enough for YouTube.
Yep, he probably did have limited time, but honestly in his reviews he makes practically every pedal sound exactly the same, and its more shots of string wobble than anything.
Its not dissing the machine, its more to its detriment and it probably is very decent, he would have been better served copping half as many tones way better.
Its all IMHO etc. But hey.

No joke, it took me quite a few hours just getting the 35 bass patches and then adding 15 of the guitar patches into the first 50 user slots. Then one by one turning the AIRD amps off on each so I can run it through my combo. I haven't even tweaked any of the patches either other than a little gain or patch volume. Patience is key with this sucker, but the reward is worth it.
Man I thought it was an awesome demo. Showcased it very well. Oh well, we all hear different things. Being an owner, I probably know more about subtle differences in tone. I mean, you’re just passing by posting Stuff, if you were honest.
