Bolder Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hello, I am using Logic Pro 9 with my 15inch Macbook Pro along with a Avid Fast Track C400 USB audio interface. My problem is when I have my guitar plugged into the input and running through Logic, when I play a sustained note and just holding it out. When the sustain begins to decay in volume towards the tail end it cuts off a little abruptly. I would like to figure this out so that I can get a natural sounding sustain with a gradual decay of volume so that it cut's off naturally (as in a gradual decay of audible to inaudible). I have tried inputting my guitar through another audio interface (Boss Micro BR-80) and as a direct input into the macbook's input jack. All 3 have the same results. If I would have to compare this to something which I am familiar with, it would be some sort of noise gate where sound under a certain volume gets cut off. attached is a very basic jpeg to illustrate the sound. Thanks again for the help, and the book is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Do you have a gate on your Channel strip? Check that your interface (external or internal) is set to 24-bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolder Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Wow. This is somewhat embarrassing, yes my channel strip does have a noise gate. And maybe that's a good place to start. Thank you for making me realize It pretty much was staring me in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
