There may be some misunderstanding about settings here if I have read the post correctly. Usually you would record with your bass volume up full, then temper the ‘Gain’ control at the Solo’s input in order to have the halo LED only ever showing green. The hotter the output of the bass, the less gain needed on the interface for it to sit happily in the green. With regards to output issues, it’s odd that it’s distorting, if you play any audio/music from iTunes/YouTube etc, is that also distorted? You may want to run through some Windows optimization such as in this article: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207355205-Optimising-your-PC-for-Audio-on-Windows-10 If you’re continuing to experience problems, you’re best to contact our tech support teams via here: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new Usually it’s a small setup issue and they’ll have you up and working straight away, however there are some rare occasions where a hardware fault is present, which will simply mean you’ll be sent a new unit.

Would be perfect if it didn’t have blocks Si

Thanks, I do remember that one. It’s a burst though, which I’m trying avoid really. I’m in no rush, my Expat is great ☺️ Thank-you though. Si -
Yes, I would suggest recording direct (ie bass straight to interface), the amp is doing nothing for you other than EQ, which you may as well do in the DAW and take a connection out of the equation. Experiment with your laptop plugged into the mains and just on battery. I've been in some situations where plugged in is better, and just on battery is better....who knows. Also try using as short a jack cable as possible between your bass and the interface. Si

They’re almost certainly made to order, and they’re a custom builder, so they’ll probably be open to build whatever iteration of the bass you’re interested in. Si

Just out of curiosity, would you not be after a transparent sound rather than a ‘warm’ sound when recording DI? Then process it to taste during mixing? Latency is a lot to do (although not entirely) with the USB driver being utilised, our latest USB driver would improve Gen 1 latency, however as you mention, the Gen 3’s are a marked improvement in all specs over Gen 1’s. Also, zero (or ‘conversion-only’) latency is achievable with all interfaces assuming they have direct monitoring capability. Otherwise, your Computer spec, DAW choice, session size/heft, sample rate etc will also contribute to latency figures along with interface and it’s driver. Si // Focusrite

Lockdown has me enquiring about a Limelight. DOH

My very own DIY jazz bass configurator... lots of Fender custom colours...
Sibob replied to LukeFRC's topic in Bass Guitars
Weird, doesn't seem to work for me. Mac with Safari or Chrome, or even if I download the PDF onto my desktop. Fingerboard changes and thats it. EDIT: Sorry, just seen that it needs to be specifically used with Acrobat! All works fine Mmmmmmm, Walnut finish with black scratchplate 😍 Si -
Limelight 62 Jazz bass Black over shoreline Gold SOLD
Sibob replied to Gibbo9876's topic in Basses For Sale
Black over Gold is just the best! Si -
Tidied the post. Please keep all personal comments to PM's. Back to selling the bass. Thanks Si -
For balance, they also mention about the Audient: "Granted the price is higher than budget audio interfaces. In fact, the iD4 (entry-model) has only one 1-input. At the price you pay for the iD4, you could get many other audio interfaces with more ins and outs." Of course, my point here is that people will always have a choice regarding performance vs price, and there's always a line to be drawn with regards to what someone is willing to pay when you start getting into the margins spec wise, not to mention other elements (as the article suggests) such as customer support and software/plugin bundles.

Hi all, Back up for cash sale, only trade options would be an Elrick standard Jazz 5 (not sunburst). I love this Evolution, sounds awesome, light swamp ash body and looks great. It's a solid 9/10 for condition I'd say. A couple of small indentations, but nothing I'm able to photograph well. Stock, these basses come with Bartolini single-coils, however I've swapped those out for Bartolini dual coils that came direct from Rob Elrick. So spec is: 35″ scale Swamp Ash Body 8.5 Lbs (approx) Satin Matte Black Finish 3-piece Quarter-Sawn Maple Neck Ebony Fretboard 24 frets 2-way adjustable truss rod Bartolini hum cancelling Dual-coil soapbar pickups (Made in the USA) Bartolini 3-band pre-amp w/3-way mid and active bypass (Made in the USA) Fully shielded control cavity Black Hipshot Ultra-light tuners Black Elrick bridge – by Hipshot (Made in the USA) Dunlop Dual Design strap buttons (Straplok compatible!) (Made in the USA) £1550 - I'll include a Fusion Urban gig bag in excellent condition! £1500 - No Case Shipping would be difficult just at the moment, but we can talk about it as an extra cost, but happy to organise a socially distanced handover as a preference. UK only for now. Cheers Si

What do Limelight Precision’s tend to come in at new nowadays?

Just not worth the gamble at all! Si -
SOLD Since getting my Serek, I haven't really picked up the Mustang, so have decided to move it on. I'm not in a massive rush or need to sell it, so we'll see what happens. As title states, 2006, MIJ, all original. It has some knocks and bumps (pictures attached to post), the previous owner has also drilled three extra strap-button holes, presumably because they were left a handed. Overall I'd give it around a 7/10 for condition. Bass is a nice Orangey-Fiesta Red. No case unfortunately, and difficult for me to ship it currently, so I'd probably suggest a socially distanced exchange/pay pal type situation?! Currently strung with La Bella Mustang Flats, although I think I have some suitable roundwounds if you're interested. The bass (with flats) can be heard on this track: https://open.spotify.com/track/6vZW77FIMnfRlNfSRxkAIt?si=uNBYiy7_QdW3p-WKxnbAMA Not sure on an exact weight but around 3.5kg, action is great and plays beautifully. SOLD Collection from Hemel Hempstead or High Wycombe. Cheers Si -

Generally speaking, you won't even really hear the benefits of 96kHz unless you're recording audio with a lot of nuance, spoken word, perhaps a close-mic'd string quartet, acoustic folk etc etc. If one is recording 'rock and pop' music, ie music that distorts the sound-wave in some way (and of course I count 'synth' sounds found in pop and other music in that), then really 44.1 or 48 is more than enough. Increasing from there will increase the size of your project files, although also improve your latency figures, so there are pros and cons that come with the choice. Si // Focusrite

Sold Sadowsky Knobs Set
Sibob replied to waveydavy's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
No not me, sorry lol Si -
Gotcha, yeah I have a couple of SHO's at home that I've built, but as you mention, they go from unison as opposed to having a grounding volume output control. Just checked out the LPB, and I reckon that looks perfect, cheers. Si
-
To be honest, I'd always be looking to DI my bass if the signal is going to be relatively clean, EQ it in the DAW. I'd only consider mic'ing a cab or using a cab simulator if I was going for a distorted bass tone. That said, there's so many decent cab sim and overdrive plugins now, I'd probably still just go DI and dry lol Si
-
If I could just have it's boost section, then yes......but it's to go in another pedal, so needs to be little Cheers though Si
-
Hey all, Is anyone aware of a boost kit that doesn't start from unison, that starts from -∞ and then also boosts past unity. Might have a little project that could benefit an output volume control that goes from fully cut to a little boost (doesn't need to be crazy). Thoughts? Si

A fair bit of audio spec improvement has been made between the iTrack Solo and the new 3rd Gen Scarletts, not to mention extra features such as 'Air'. By 'more serious', it might be worth having a think about what that might mean in the mid-term (ie how many inputs might you want to record simultaneously etc), because you might decide that a few more inputs/outputs might be helpful, even it's just a 2i2 which allows for two Mic/Instrument/Line, as opposed to one Mic and one Instrument/Line that the Solo offers. Hope that helps, if not, feel free to drop me a PM or facebook message Si // Focusrite

No bother at all, enjoy ☺️ Si
