Can someone please take the time to explain to me in the simplest terms possible how to take outs 1 and 2 and go to front of house and make 3 and4 go to power on stage and cab with NO SPEAKER SIM. I realize that right now it is set up for outs 1 and 2. I am new to Cortex and this is baffling me. I love this preset and want to maintain everything about it. PLEASE AND THANk YOU…
Are you using both of those amps at the same time, or switching between them? Wondering if you need to do the split on the second row or not. I see one amp is active in your preset
First off I would move the amp to the first row if you aren’t having them both on at the same time. It’s over complicating the routing a bunch to have that.
Also would recommend having the cab sim at the end of the chain after the effects. The way it is now will making the routing harder as well. You could have the cab on another row (with a split) that only routes to 1+2. The row with effects could route to 3+4
I think you should have all your amps and effects on row 1+2. Route to row 2 with a split so you have more slots for effects. Make sure the split has all the signal go to row 2, so there isn’t a volume difference from the split. Some of the options in the split will reduce the volume because it’s routing signal 2 ways instead of 1. You don’t need to route back to Row 1 with a mixer block.
Row 2 should route to 3+4. Row 3 (with the cabinet) should receive signal from “Prev Row”. Row 3 can route to 1+2.
Is this what you mean? I didn’t add the split to 3/4 yet. But i notice a slight tonal difference when I move the speaker cab sim here…tonal difference at outs 1/2 - i put this new on a separate presert and switch back and forth.
There’s no need to have the second amp on the second row. I would move that up to Row 1. At the moment there’s a split/mixer for no reason going to Row 2.
There will be a tonal shift from your original preset because unless you’re going to duplicate all your effects, you’ll need the speaker to be last. This will sound more like a real amp anyways since the effects would flow into the speaker normally.
Split after effects. Run Output 3 to my power amp + physical cab (I run everything in mono). Run the split into an IR or cab block block, then to Output 1/2 (again, everything in mono).
As you can see in the screenshot, I typically add last EQ tweaks and/or some “glue” SSL compression to each signal individually before sending to the output.
