Input Signal Level barely reacting to the input slider (on left of FX chain).

    Hi Members,

    I have Tonelib GFX loaded on a track in my DAW (Reaper). The input signal meter inside Tonelib GFX (the colored bar meter - on left side of FX chain) is not reacting to any changes when I move the input slider up or down. It barely registers anything except for a slight flicker at the very bottom of the meter (well below the -24db range on the slider marker).

    The audio Interface I am using is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 2nd Generation and I have the Gain Knob on the Focusrite set to about 10 oclock. I lowered the gain as well with no affect. I have the preset titled, "Blue Wind" loaded however whatever preset I load it's still the same issue. Everything seems to sound as normal as I simply use my ears when adjusting the input slider knob. However, the meter is not reacting to anything when I move the input slider.. Any ideas why?

    Please see screen shot of ToneLib GFX interface. I snapped the screenshot a millisecond after striking my guitar and you can see the input meter barely registers (please see RED circle and RED arrow in photo below/attached).

    Thank you very much Tonelib GFX Input Level Meter Not Responding.jpg

    Forgot to mention ... this issue occurs in either standalone mode or as a VST plugin.

    i have a similar problem. overall audio is very low in comparison to the metal version. i do not understand why. in linux. but on a different machine, same os, they are loud just the same
    the problem is in the master audio

    That's right. I can confirm.
    It seems to work in Tonelib-Metal though.

    There is no support. You can reach them but you never get a reply.
    New releases are done under the hood and no longer advertized, and you never know what's been fixed. And more often, many bugs reported here are never fixed.
    I personaly cannot recommend this software.

    it is a shame because honestly, it is quite good for the price. i know you can use it for free, but i bought gfx and tonelib jam to help the project, as for linux not much stuff of this kind is available at this level.
    jam has great potentiality

    These are the risks of proprietary software.
    They can attract new comers with discounted prices and people will almost never complain because it was so cheap that it's not worth complaining. Smart.

    I once got a discount for Reamp ($20) from AudioAssault, and a good price for upgrading to Reamp2. Very worth it and with good support.
