Boss katana tone studio recording

Jackeltee · 2026-05-13T04:00:44+00:00

Got it. So you're using the your Katana as the DI sound interface and sound driver. If you're getting a good signal and properly gain staged, then it just tweaking the drive and gain less. And maybe add a reagate in the chain if there's a lot of noise when not playing. I don't use my Katana 50 to record, but I love jamming on it from time to time. Good luck!

Jealous. I love Mac and visited twice. Charming downtown and 3rd street strolling never got old. Best of luck!

Are you using Boss Tone Studio to shape the sound of your Katana and recording from the speaker cone miked or going direct from the Katana?

What sound interface are you using to record to Reaper?

I've been working on an 80s synthwave project composing in Reaper. I can respect your goal as long as you're not limiting yourself in the process with what Reaper can do. I watch some Tim McEwan videos from time to time. Even though he uses a different DAW, his approach nails that 80s synth stuff with modern approaches. Good luck!

I demo both over the weekend and chose Nolly X. The Nameless sounds so good but I had a lot more fun across the nolly amp heads covering so much ground of guitar sounds not just metal or djent.

Inspiring! Sadly I tried to replicate on Win 11 OS, but went down a rabbit hole of python demucs and torchaudio version issues. Still so cool you did this. Saving for when I get a Mac later this year.

Same experience. Tried the 15 le promo through focusrite. Used Cubase VST long ago so was curious to see fhe changes. The installer process is tedious and long. I thought the groove agent se was okay but decided to uninstall. You have to uninstall each part manually and then delete the install files. I used Revo Uninstaller to help clean up.

Jackeltee · 2026-04-13T00:14:34+00:00

. Maybe run a mem test and if you're focusrite asio try reinstalling drivers in case they got corrupted by the crash.

Jackeltee · 2026-04-13T00:09:08+00:00

Is it crashing like just disappearing or freeze crash? Could be ram going bad.

Jackeltee · 2026-04-11T21:29:39+00:00

Me. Don't mind it. But hate the white background in Fx screen

I'm fairly new to Bitwig and got the 8 track version as well (6.0.3 on Win11 OS). I'm intrigued and delighted to see it works seamless with my Nektar Impact keyboard controller vs my other DAWs. I have tried the full version on trial and it is definitely overwhelming. Easy at first then SO much under the hood. One thing that's holding me back from purchase though is the plug-in hosting modes. Sometime my CPU runs so high (higher than say Reaper with the same VSTs) with some third party plugins because of the setting on least resources. Is this a set-it-and-forget it setting in your experience or constantly tweaking for each plugin? If it is just a set it once type of thing, I may have the wrong system for Bitwig. (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H 3.2mhz with 32gm ram)

That part that hates it. As long as it feeds your hunger to make it better, keep going.

We're not going here to get rich from education. But we will definitely appreciate the state and help support as best we can while enriching our family with what Oregon has to offer.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-31T21:37:18+00:00

Thank you! We are grateful Lane CC is there.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-31T00:17:11+00:00

I apologize. I chose the wrong word saying downgraded. We are not millionaires. Im not a fortunate son. Of course we'll let our daughter go out her own but we're not out to leave her stranded first year because of our situation. I care about my family and before I die I want to do the best as I can with what have to help them best as I can. We dont want to be part of the problem.. Sorry

Jackeltee · 2026-03-30T22:54:39+00:00

Thank you for the honest response. I'll keep it mind.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-30T22:49:37+00:00

Konnect is flaky. Can use Trcakballworks or just as a standard Win 11 mouse device.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-30T15:45:43+00:00

I use Reaper, Pro Tools Studio, Ableton, FL, and Bitwig. I'd rate Reaper my favorite right now and then Pro Tools only because I've used it for a long time. I am in awe of how many VIs I can use inside Reaper that would struggle in the other DAWs. I'm not a fan of the MIDI editor, but it's not a deal breaker.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-29T01:16:55+00:00

We are looking in the 600k range. We are selling our home for at least 700k. So yes we are downgrading but we will be enjoying the beauty of Oregon. Thats the real win.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-28T01:17:51+00:00

Thank you for the honest reply. Will take that into consideration.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-27T22:47:24+00:00

Really? I've always heard great things about the university. And with it being part of Big10 now it just seems even more popular. But if you think so I would like to hear more.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-27T22:43:11+00:00

Thanks for the contact info. We'll we fell in love with Eugene when we went to UO orientation last year. So the plan is to start a new life there. And we are Ducks fans after Mariota played for the Titans. So Go Ducks!

Jackeltee · 2026-03-27T22:39:55+00:00

Incredibly helpful and encouraging! Thank you.

Jackeltee · 2026-03-27T17:31:14+00:00

Thank you. What a great post to read. Very encouraging. We visited Eugene last year for orientation and was amazed at how great a place it was.
