When recording with my ES335 If I strum with a pick I am getting distortion which no matter my input and output settings I cannot seem to eliminate. Fingerstyle and single note lines are fine. Any suggestions?

I am running a Podxt into a two channel Tascam interface to the computer.
Thanks again

Hi Rich. Does it do that through an amp as well? Sounds like you're overdriving some input in the signal path.


Regards,

Bob

You already know when you are strumming something is overloading, the question is where and what, the Pod xt, the TASCAM, or inside the computer.

You can check the computer by accessing the Windows record panel by right clicking on the speaker icon or through the control panel then selecting the record option. Lower all the record faders a little bit and see if that makes a difference.

You may be able to bypass the TASCAM and eliminate it from the signal chain. The Podxt can be used for a recordind interface once you install and select the drivers. If you have a reason to use the TASCAM you can switch settings between line and instrument to change the input impedence in case there is an impedence mismatch.

The Podxt has several outputs so try a different one.

solved, All this time I have been recording with the guitar volume all the way up. I was always told to do that. Maybe with digital recording it isn't necessary? Anyway problem solved. Thanks for your help.

SMH...... it pays to check the obvious stuff.... no?

Funny though.

Glad you solved it.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
