interface

There is one thing to be aware of regarding the Focusrite Scarlett - when you use an XLR connector, you CANNOT set the port to INST level input. it can only be MIC level. You need to use the 1/4" connector on the port, then engage the INST level button. Otherwise, you have an impedance mis-match that often results in a thin and distorted sound.

When I put on a new string recording wavelength appeared full, but when the strings died, it became small.
New strings, dead strings, or anywhere in between regardless of string type, manufacturer, or any other factor that can be applied; The same methodology applies. Adjust the volume on the bass and the input gain on the interface until the desired level is reached. Anywhere between -18 and -6 dbfs is perfectly fine and a safe bet to avoid clipping the AD.

In reaper Left master volume is at 6-12 db
Right is 6-18( I guess it is headphone)

Problem is Ableton , thank you


When I record in Ableton, there is an annoying buzzing sound when I touch the strings, but this does not happen in Reaper.

I think my Ableton is problematic, I installed the old version(10) by writing the registration number of the new version, it came with the interface, because my computer did not run the new version.

When I switched to Reaper, the headphone volume increased a lot and no buzzing sound

I think there was a problem because I was using the old version of ableton with the new version register number and it was not working properly. I noticed this when I switched to reaper.

Thanks everyone!
