We’ve looked into this problem and unfortunately Garageband does not provide a way for you to change the volume of the audio when it bounces to an mp3 file, even if you’ve reduced the volume of the stereo mix with Garageband’s master volume fader.

There are a couple of work arounds:

1. You could reduce the volume of all the instruments in your Garageband project and then bounce the tracks.

2. After you bounce the mix in Garageband, you could start a new Garageband project, import the mix you just created into a track, reduce the volume of the track and bounce the mix again.

Where do have the INPUT knobs set and does the CLIP LED ever light when you’re recording loop audio?

Which output(s) are you using on the 45000?

Can you confirm that it’s the 45000 that is distorting and not the stage after by bringing down the track sliders on the 45000 while it’s playing back a loop?

Yes, you can synch the Rev. D Super Pulsars with other clocks. Most clocks created by synthesizers, drum machines, and modular gear will be able to drive the Super Pulsar’s Clock Input.

The nominal spec on the clock would be a 5Vpp (Volts peak-to-peak) amplitude square wave which ranges from 0V to 5V. The Super Pulsar can accept clock amplitudes ranging from 0V-2V up to 0V-9V. The Super Pulsar can also accept bi-polar clock signals ranging from +/-2V to +/-5V.

The maximum received clock frequency is 150Hz. The Tap Divide modes can be used to increase the modulation speed in relation to the external clock frequency.

What is the source for the MIDI clock in your setup?

Yes, you can do this. What you do is route the Super Switcher’s always on loop, located between 5 and 6, to your amp’s Input and FX Send jacks. Then you place the pedals that would normally go into your effects loop, such as delay and reverb, into the Super Switcher’s loop numbers 6, 7, 8. The output of the Super Switcher is then connected to the amp’s FX Return jack. So, the Super Switcher’s loops 6, 7, 8 are now in your amp’s FX loop but you can turn them on/off with the Super Switcher.

Here’s a potential signal chain with sample effects:

Super Switcher SND -> Amp’s Input -> Amp’s FX Send -> Super Switcher RTN
Super Switcher Ch 6 SND/RTN -> Delay
Super Switcher Ch 7 SND/RTN L -> Reverb
Super Switcher Ch 8 SND L/RTN L -> Tremolo
Super Switcher OUT L -> Amp’s FX Return

If you go to an empty loop and then press the RECORD footswitch, does the 95000 react? Does it start recording?

If you go to an occupied loop and press the PLAY footswitch, does the 95000 playback?

Is the bleed problem you’re experiencing that you still hear sound coming through the inputs when their respective L or R INPUT knobs are set fully counterclockwise?

If this is the case, this is normal. These pots are gain pots, not volume pots, they allow sound throughout their entire range.
