Well. Ios13 was the death of the line6 sonic port in Oct/Nov. I got wind that 13.4 was going to sort it. and magically - it did. For a day or two. The clipping/stuttering was happening before the ios13 debacle though. So I nearly did an excitement wee wee when it worked flawlessly after 13.4. 2 days later...back to shitesville. Get a neat little riff, want to develop it - spend all time battling clunky tech issues - give up, fume, repeat.

No nothing - even does it without using any “nice room” or whatever base effect garage band applies. i did switch off the line 6 plug ins. Thinking this would help. But like I said earlier in the thread, two days prior to me completely losing my sh*t - it worked absolutely faultlessly even with loads of plug ins etc. And I’m not doing anything differently...

Both ex employees of the music shop I worked at. One went to manage an Apple store and one went off to design synths for a living. i work with angry teenagers...no bass companies were looking for full time bass testers at that point...

You’re on a Mac though aren’t you, or iPad?

I used to use Yamaha MD8s MiniDisc multi trackers in college and really fancied one...nostalgia reasons. But really. I just want to work with this stuff - get used to it and hopefully upscale. The interface was problematic from the start. If my mate gets back to me and saves me a few quid on a Scarlett, I can get an iPad through a mate who works at Apple...so...still spendy, but a bit cheaper.

Just so happens a very good mate is a product developer for Focusrite/Novation... Guess who’s just had a messqge off me 😂

Yeah the line 6 issue has been ongoing for months. Just going to buy another - @walshysaid his focusrite scarlet worked well. Will have a look

Tick tock...

@Al Krow have you not seen this yet? just sayin...

I’ve resorted to setting fire to all recording equipment 😂

And I’ve used the Bass Doc a couple of times for more traditional pickguards. He did me a white pearl and a black BB pair.

All of these bits have been done by @TimAl who trades as gig.ink He’s actually become a good mate - he’s a genius, if you’re after custom design stuff - absolutely fantastic.

@sshorepunk I recall that ray. Nearly bought it off you I think.

Like that mate!

Well, I thought I had it all sussed. Recorded a few little bits with the now functioning Sonic Port and thought - I can really get some stuff down while the band can’t rehearse. These are little basic 2 minute demos, no big production numbers. Set everything up, signal, recording, add the little drum loops in - which are really handy. Then it happens... Press record 1/2/3”pop”/gap/4 - recording half way through the first bar Sometimes make it through the first two bars, sometimes 1 bar...sometimes get a full take and it flips the end off the take. Its almost like it stutters, not really that handy when you’re trying to be creative. As you can imagine it’s turning the air blue, and being a bit of a technophobe it’s stopping me in my tracks. It didn’t do it when I was working on little things last week - just getting reacquainted with it - managed 2/3 recordings with loops and Line 6’s amp modelling running. I thought last night it was because the phone had gone into battery saving mode. But no, on full charge today, it persists. The Iphone is and XR on latest 13.4ios. I suppose I could delete GarageBand and reinstall. It did do this before ios13 rendered the sonic port useless in October time. I wondered if anyone else had experienced it, or if I can change settings/do something better or different. Google doesn’t seem to throw anything obviously similar to my issue so I thought I’d ask here. At this juncture I’m wondering if the iPad version might be better - although it’s an expensive “what if”. I know other programs etc are available, but I like the “all in one box” neatness of GB with its drum loop packs etc. Thanks if anyone can help.

@EdLib-3 love that acoustic. For once I’ve no idea what it is...

Very nice

Love that Amber Forte.
