It sounds like there crackling when you are playing in the red but "not clipping" per the indicator light. Is this a different type of clipping? How high into the red can we go without getting that crackling sound?
Curious about that as well - I have to dial back all 'non solo' scenes to stay away from that 'crackle' when I do then add volume for a relative boost.
Thank you for this. So basically, always start with the amp block to set the output level and aim for zero db. I’m an old analog guy who used fender amps and dirt pedals among others. and I approach my fractal with that mentality. Set the amp level first then engage a dirt pedal and adjust THAT level to taste. So on and so forth. Everytime I add a block I check the output level and adjust. My question is with regard to lead scenes. You want the lead sound to be boosted to stand out. So do you start with that scene and aim for around zero db and then for all the other scenes dial in the output lower? Curious as to what your practice is on this. Thanks.
Yes, I usually get everything to meter around 0 db. The lead scene is usually somewhere between 3-5 db depending on the types of venues you play. (Larger venues require less db boosting.
Hi @rosh, I have clipping issues in clean tone when playing with my epiphone geared with Seymour Duncan JB, no matter what I do. Same doesn’t happen with my fender or Gibson custom.
So glad I found this channel. Among the very best. Subscribed 😊
Thank you so much 😀

The cracking sound is definitely clipping. Would also like Rosh to chime in here.

Bring down the instrument input level in the audio tab
My output 1 clipped, hopefully no damage was caused
It won't damage the output if you accidentally clipped.
