  • Loop layer volume decrease?

    The recording volume does not change based on number of tracks/clips. What I think may be happening is that you’re monitoring from one track with a level boost of some kind, but recording a clip(s) to a different track with a default (lower) level.

    Also, connecting a bass guitar directly into the Deluge gives quite a low level. If you’re not already, I’d recommend using some type of preamp to get the bass signal to line level. This gives a more suitable volume for recording new clips without needing to boost the signal within the clip.

    Thank you, this was exactly it! I'm actually running the bass through a multieffect box first so it has plenty of gain, but it turned out that I kept setting each track to monitor and never turned that off when moving to a new track, so I got super loud monitoring and quiet recording over time. A relief to know it was all my goof!

  • Multitracking and Automation with the looper

    sartreusssartreuss

    The looper feature has a lot of potential but I'll admit that it feels like a more interactive version of a single-track guitar looper rather than the multi-track looper I had imagined it would be. Maybe I'm just missing how mapping and usage works, but it seems like, save for a cumbersome process of keeping track of a number of preset loop track rows as they get pushed down the display by overdubs, there really isn't any way to, for instance, map a "looper control button" for different tracks on a separate midi controller, since the midi controls appear to be global. Seeing each overdub as a new row is novel but doesn't seem especially useful in a multi-track context, which is my only context. What I really want is the ability to create a set number of looper tracks and map their controls to a midi device, not unlike existing multitrack loopers like the Boss RC 505.

    Also, being able to automate looper recording in the arranger view would be HUGE for pre-programming looper recording and manipulation to free you from needing to actually interact with the looper during performance. Check out Binkbeats or Elise Trouw to see examples of this being done with Ableton.
