RE: Dry Signal Passing Through VST Effects and Host

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

If I could make an embarassed face with text only, I'd do it!  Basically, 
I 
solved my problem...user error...Chainer has wet and dry level control for 
each effect, and for each "stack" (row of effects, there are 8 of them in 
the host)....I had turned up the dry levels on each stack to maximize 
volume, which was passing dry signal through, even though I had the dry 
signal to 0 on each individual efffect.  But I learned something that is 
the 
inverse of my problem, which is sort of interesting. It's not that some 
effects were passing dry signal through even when the dry mix on them was 
off, rather it was that some effects were sending no dry signal at all. It 
was the other way around....so even though I had the stack dry mix up to 
100, the effect wasn't passing any dry signal to it. Odd, but easy to work 
with.

Anyway, works like a charm now, and wow does everything sound different! 
Even Ruby Tube has totally changed its character and is better than 
before...not uneffected signal mixed with it now.  And Hipno effects sound 
awesome!  I had to change my settings on a lot of things to get my levels 
up, but all is good now.

Now I need to start experimenting with some of the Pluggo routing VSTs so 
that I can insert tone mangling effects after Mobius in the Chainer 
sequence 
of VSTs....try some of the randomizing VSTs, etc....get my web cam up and 
running to control Hipno and the virutal Theremin, get Toy Bear's Monster 
Bag of tone mangling effects, etc....the list goes on....not enough time 
in 
the day.
