SUP?
Sure is.
Look at an individual track. bring up the EQ for that track and you will have a 4 band parametric. set the first band to High pass and the last band to Low pass
You'll just have to experiment with what works for you. But as a general rule YES. Especially with the low end,,that's where the mud starts from too many things competing for the space.
Yet another question:
Dave, you mentioned re-amping. Is there a way I can go about doing this without purchasing any additional gear? From my understanding you need an extra piece of gear to re-route the clean signal back into the recording program.
I'd like to be able to 'hear' a distorted signal but actually record a clean signal so I can re-amp.
I wouldn't think you will have to buy anything else. looking at this pic...
It seems you can have 2 different rigs at once. just set one side to clean and one side to dist. pan hard L+R and only record the clean side
It all depends on what you want to do.
First off what kind of sound card do you have for your DAW?
stock in/out on your E-machine?
or are you primarily using the UX2 to get your signal in?
If your just doing guitar then you can just use the UX2, If you want to do other things later(keys, etc) I would get a good Soundcard. it don't have to be the next super piece of sliced bread or anything, but a decent one. maybe one of the Presonus ones or something like that(hell, you might find a M-audio 1010 with the rack fairly cheap,,good starter unit
), something with a few more inputs.
Cause there are gonna be times where you'll want to record at least 3 inputs....ex..say you have this killer stereo patch going on in your rig( Preamp, UX2, whatever) and you want to get it recorded so you get booted up and you hit record on the 2 tracks and wail away. you have the coolest performance caught on tape, you nailed everything...BUT, when you go and play it back you find something sounds weird with it..sounds phasy, or the delays weren't just right on one side,,,,,whatever. Now you have a choice to make you can try to correct this issue(whatever it might be) somehow or you can re-track it ,,but you might not hit the same performance.
Now,, if you were recording a 3rd dry imput you could have re-amped, you would still have the performance caught and you could rebuild your patch and re route it back through your rig to be recorded again,, or used an amp sim to try to re-create your effects,,and the performance is saved.
On the other hand,,,,If you only want to cut a mono track you can do this with your current gear( see UX2 comment above) but more inputs are better.
Back on topic about the Sampson...by all means experiment brother, you might find something you like.
But one thing you can do If you want to use the Sampson for the tube quality, and are going to re-amp anyway is,,,,
I see the sampson has digital and analog outs...
what you can do(depending on the soundcard) is run your guitar into the Sampson first, then send the Digital signal (which will be your dry tubey sound) into the DAW to be recorded. At the same time send the dry Analog out from the Sampson to the UX2's line in and do up a distortion patch you can monitor from the headphone out,, or sending the line out into your amp of choice.
hope that helps
