A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

I've been having issues for quite some time when using Reaper to record my music. Every time I enable my guitar so as to record it amped up my Reverb so bad that it just ruined it. Its really been bugging me because at 71 I want to record my guitar playing for my daughter as she has asked me several times. Also I'd like to drop a few here so that you know I can actually play a little. Anyway I finally decided to see if there were new drivers for the 2i4 I use for my interface and Ill be damned if there wasn't a new one which I installed and finally its working right. Now I can record with the Tone I like without it getting messed up. Any of you guys that are using a Focusrite may want to check and see if you need an update to.
Don't hold your breath though because it takes me quite a while to get one to the point that I'm happy with it maybe 72 or 3 haha.

Hmmm I should check. After what I think was a windows patch last year, I have been unable to record anything on my laptop. Sounds fine when monitoring but playback is a complete mess. It’s an older laptop and I was planning to simply replace it once the chip shortage and crazy pricing settled down, but maybe a new driver is what I need!

Thanks for the heads up.

Maybe you're just imagining what you're hearing

Sorry, couldn't resist given the other thread.

Whatever it is, it hasn't happened to my 18i20/Mac setup. My instinct would be to suspect it's Windows specific.

It’s more likely that you are just bitter about finding out you’ve been fooling yourself all these years.

If I've been fooling myself about my hearing, it must be contagious because locals who don't even know me ask me to mix their work. I'm not bitter at all. I like having a well trained ear.

Yes I suspect your right, I like the fact that Focusrite keeps up with stupid IMHO constant changes win10 forces us to take and have had a number of problems with my system after various updates which were installed. Yes I know your gonna say to use Linux or mac but I'm an old dog who hates new tricks at least with computers.

Not at all! I say use whatever works for you, how you want it to. I've bounced platforms a few times.
