Yeah noticed that.

I have to look further into it but I doubt the SPDIF connection is any better on the Clarett line, other things may be better but I’m not sure it would necessarily matter to me in this situation

Think I’ve found the one reason the VP4 is not a good audio interface candidate, unless I’m doing something wrong. At 0db/ flat preset output, it’s way too loud to play during quiet hours. If I turn that volume down enough to monitor at an acceptable volume, the signal becomes too weak for Logic. My solution now is using the VP4 as input and my Scarlett Solo as output for recording which I guess is just accomplishing the same thing at the end of the day. I am admittedly dumb af when it comes to this stuff though, it could be me.

There's USB volumes in the vp4 set up, maybe mess with them?

I did and it didn’t change anything at all, I was hoping it would. I don’t care about input monitoring in Logic, I’m monitoring straight out of the VP4. I’ll take another crack at it soon

I've got a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 mostly because it was the entry point for S/PDIF.

They do and they’re more expensive by $200

If you get the 16i16, post up about how it is. I'm curious how the guitar inputs are at this point. Good specs though, otherwise.

I have the outputs from my Axe going into the analog inputs on my interface, and use the interface input monitoring so it's basically the same as having the Axe plugged directly to my monitors as in no additional latency. Logic gets it signal for recording via the USB.
Very handy

I mean, I get that he didn't color code his response. But surely you can compute 4-1 without needing to confirm your answer?

So you're actually saying 4 -1 = 3

I sort clarification because I recalled some discussion earlier on in the VP4 release about whether or not if an IR block was added, and as its not like an effect you need to turn on-off, that it might or should-best-be added as an internal block that would be accessible through the Global settings.

Probably not really an issue if you are using the VP4 in a traditional "real" guitar cab setup. but if you are using it in an "FRFR" / Direct kind of setup, that leaves you only 3 Blocks for "effects" .

B.t.w ^^^ its there for a reason :)
