General Questions/Discussion Showcase “Count In” and “Click” issues

5 Upvotes

My band is starting to run clicks and backings after I picked up a Stadium recently. I've got a ton of songs done, and we did our first practice last night (I tried them out on my own).

My first question is: Within Showcase, there is a "Count In" feature that I can't select. Is this available yet, coming in a future update, or am I doing something wrong? I can see it there, but when I turn the knob, nothing changes.

Second question: When I set up the backing tracks, I made sure to leave 2 measures of space before anyone comes in to compensate for not being able to use the "Count In" feature. However, when I click play (with a market to start click when I hit play), it's like it skips two beats before the click comes in. So rather than counting in: 1, 2, 3, 4 - 1, 2, 3, 4 it is more like: 3, 4, - 1, 2, 3, 4. This is throwing everyone off. Is there a fix for that or am I doing something wrong?

I do not currently have any screenshots or soundbites, but I can repost this if needed. Hoping someone already knows what I'm refering to.

General Questions/Discussion 1.4 Release Notes

31 Upvotes

Very bottom of the release notes for 1.4 it says:

Do we have to wait forever for 1.5 now?

Nope. It’s right around the corner and not what you expect.

Wonder what this could mean. <this is me leaning forward with interest>

General Questions/Discussion Question about overdrive / Proxy distortion pedal capture gain/level staging

3 Upvotes

In my experience thus far I’m having a challenging time getting distortion pedals and captures to behave the way they seem to in front of a real amp.

In real life, Ive primarily used Tube Screamers, a Friedman BE-OD, a ToneKing Duellist, and a Suhr Eclipse. I typically have to keep all these pedals’ “Volume” or “level” parameters at around 4 to stay at unity, and anything beyond that radically increases volume output relative to the clean tone coming out of amp, whether I’m using a clean boost or not. I am trying to get a similar effect on Helix Stadium so my rhythm and lead distortion sounds can be around 2 or 4 dB louder without the use of gain blocks for each pedal (this is also because of the DSP usage of the clones).

The “level” knobs on distortion models don’t usually seem to audibly increase the relative levels of the clean tone and the distortion sound. This is particularly noticeable to me on pedals like the Heir Apparent or the Green 808. Beyond unity, there might be a decibel or two of relative increase but more likely it’ll just sound very squashed and compressed, almost like I’m hitting a limiter.

The Proxy clones I’ve made of my pedals behave similarly, though the lower gain captures can be pushed past unity further to get noticeable dB increases. But a high gain capture (for instance of my Suhr eclipse) will compress and stuff without really increasing the relative level compared to the clean tone I have dialed. I can turn Post Gain on the Clone block up to 10 and it’ll only be a dB or so louder on the output meter in both my Native DAW plugin as well as the Stadium XL.

The behavior is present on most clean amps—my default tone is the Deluxe 2x12.

For what it’s worth I had similar issues with the pedal models on the Quad Cortex, but the post gain parameter on the “captures” on that device behaved exactly as I wanted—small increases beyond unity position radically increased output volume relative to clean tone level. But the fact that I struggled with the simulated models on that device too makes me wonder if I’m not understanding something about gain staging or proper leveling at other parts of the chain, or the simulated behavior of the amps.

Any ideas?
