Hi everybody,
I just got a Quantum 2, which I use to record electric guitar directly into a guitar amp sim plugin (Helix Native) in my DAW (Logic).
Problem is, the sounds I get is incredibly weird, in a bad way, to the point that I am thinking I might be doing something fundamentally wrong in the way I am using the Quantum. The way I could describe the sound is extremely jangly, metallic, thin, hollow. I have also tried with an electric bass and there I also get an odd kind of clipping-like distortion on loud notes, but can't see anything actually clipping anywhere. As a comparison, I was previously using a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP, also via Helix Native in Logic, and my guitar with the Saffire sounds like a different instrument.
I am plugging from my guitar directly into input 1 of the Quantum 2, with a gain of around 25. Would anyone have any idea of what I might be doing wrong?
