Are you by any chance working as a consultant?

Nope - If I were, I wouldn't do it that way. As a consultant you have to bill as many hours as humanly possible so in that case, I would definitely investigate the problem... Slowly... Very slowly...

So you're implementing methods before reading the documentation?
How do you fully know how/when/what it does and may not do then?
At least a skim of the headings/parameters/return/exceptions is worthwhile, MSDN docs are not bad and they will note special info in there as well.
I mean, if you find a strange substance do you taste it before checking the label to see if its poisonous?
"Mmmm looks like cookies, yum <crunch crunch="">, wonder what they are called ... Rat-X!!! Yikes!!!"
A bit later from the wife, "Sorry dear, put the rat bait in the cupboard next to the snack foods... dear? ... are you listening to me? ... dear?"
Sin tack ear lol

Eating pennies also not such a good idea.

I might need some help here.
I'm recording some music on computer. As long as I use clean instruments (song, acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar, drums, ...) everything is fine, but from the moment I turn on my distortion, it sounds like a dentist drill shoved up my brain.
I've tried many, many things and I ruled out some issues already:
* It's not my Marshall (MG 100 HDFX)
* It's not the pedals themselves (Boss GT-3)
* It's not the guitar (Gibson Studio +)
* It's not my wireless guitar system, tried with a cable as well
I'm thinking the issue is with the sound device (Roland UA-55), but there I tried almost everything I could set: using autosense, playing mono instead of stereo, setting all the switches on/off.
It's not the laptop I think, because the sound is plugged in/out via the sound device in/out, not the laptop. Besides, It's an expensive piece of equipment, I would think it would just "work".
I've searched google, but very little comes up. Except that recording overdrive/distortion can be "tricky" business, yet my friend uses a pod device and never had any issues.
If all else fails I can always turn to my irig, which should still work (it's emulated on the laptop), but frankly this just has to work. (and the Marshall distortion is just great, I'd like to use that one)
Anyone any experience with this? what could the problem be?
Many thanks for any tips on resolving my issue.
[update]
Luckily for me the irig through my iPad works! Clean as a wistle. (Well, "clean" as in, not sounding like the dentist drill mentioned above). Still I'll try to resolve the issue with the pedals/amp.

Is it "One night in Paris" or "The Money Pit"?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Oh dear. Recording guitar with effects pedals is not a straightforward thing. Basically, when you attempt to direct record via sound input, the pedals are going to overload the card - they are just too powerful. I would recommend using a powered digital-in preamp that connects via USB or FireWire.

Isn't my sound device, just that?
And secondly, I tried the "emulated line out/headphones" on my amp as well. Same issue. Or am I missing the point? If a headphone can capture the sound right, the line in of the sound device should as well, right?
|
|

My first thought was impedance mismatch, if you can record straight with out issues it's only when using a pedal it all goes sideways it could be the pedal has a DC offset in its output or it boosts certain frequencies outside the band. The headphone option is puzzeling it kinda puts my suggestion out the window. Sounds silly but have you tried another PC, some times the input stage can be a little variable...
|

The whole point behind distortion pedals is that they boost frequencies to create a controlled distortion sound - there's a lot of boost going on in there. What would be interesting is running the distortion through a compressor to see what effect that has.

True, but I have found Boss & Roland pedal which do the 'same' thing have some oddities at certain frequency's...(I had a load of FX pedal belonging to a guitarist friend of mine and a 'scope)

|

my friend has a mixing panel, I might try his and see if that solves the issue, good idea!

Can you mic up the amp and record off the mic?
|
|
|
|
|
Thought of that, but I have a rubbish mic and many cars pass by (making noise that's also recorded)

I have a TBone MB85, got it off Thoman.de, they are cheap and very good, almost as good as the Sure. Close to the amps speaker it should be selective enough, after all, its what many bands do on stage.

I had a quick google for guitar effect-pedal attenuators[^], to find that they do actually exist, and they're pretty cheap.
I'm not absolutely sure it's what you need, but it sounds like it.

Sheesh, software people. Hook up an oscilloscope and find out what your sound card is seeing. Some of that distortion could be up in the ultrasonic frequencies or something and causing sample aliasing errors.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Best answer here today,
Just one problem, how many software people own an oscilloscope?
I do, but I haven't used it in many years.
