So happy with this

Jeff Beck Pickups and a scallop neck so deep you can almost see the truss rod. I love it.
Rapidfire I want to here you play that gorgeous instrument, it's needs it's own area code.
Awesome axe!! I have a Malmsteen model and absolutely love it. Its hard to go back to a regular fretboard.
I just moved to WA State and I am still setting everything up. Ill post some videos soon! -
I don't really understand how scalloped frets work. I mean, you are supposed to fret up against the fretwire without pushing down on the string too hard to throw out the pitch. The ideal way to fret is to keep your finger from actually touching the fretboard at all. At least that's what a teacher told me. Is it only for bending to get more of your center finger on the strings?
It helps you grip the string better for vibrato and bending. Its great for players thats have a light touch. I really like scalloped fretboards but some people hate it.

Thats a monster all right. I am a scalloped frets agnostic, but it looks like you have all the specs maxed to 999 on the fretboard (It would need stainless steel frets for that).
Only scalloped where it really matters. ?

It has stainless frets ?

After a year and a half waiting it finally came! Ormsby RC One. 7 string multiscale with 27 frets. 12th-27th frets are scalloped.

Ive bought from Sinmix and LiveReadySound using paypal. No problems at all. Great profiles!
-
I have the hs8’s and really like them.
-
Nice tone. Where did you get the profile?
-
Has anyone tried an Ormsby GTR? Im considering one of the new RC One 7s.

For home use i just go to my interface (focusrite 6i6) using spdif and monitor through my studio monitors.
to use your headrush you can use the r or l main out just make for to have the output set to master mono(unless you have 2 headrush speakers then go with master stereo). You could also use the monitor output for your headrush speaker.
for home use and recording a set of good studio monitors is the way to go in my opinion. -
What setting did you end up using for the pan law?
I think I did 3db. Ill check when I get home.
-
With Reaper you have to set the pan law for every project. Just in case someone else has this issue.

Not a Reaper user, but the pan law/s implemented within DAW's differ. All should have an option to choose your preferred pan law, but unfortunately most (IIRC) don't.
So, I'm speculating that the one you're using, whether it's the default / changeable or whatever in Reaper, is one where level is reduced at hard-pan settings; the amount deducted is scaled up as you pan harder. I've not heard of such a law as the convention is to reduce level as you approach the centre 'cause the signal is now coming from 2 speakers, but if the laws in Reaper are customisable it's possible someone (you, by accident?) has inverted the normal behaviour.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it; it's instructive even if it turns out not to be the issue:
Pan law, or pan rule, is a recording and mixing principle that states that any signal of equal amplitude and phase that is played in both channels of a stereo system will increase in loudnessup to 6.02 dBSPL, provided there is perfect response in the loudspeaker system and perfect acoustics in the room.
Often, the acoustic summing of a room and system are much inferior to the ideal, so the specific relative level will change from −3 dB to 0 dB as the mono signal is panned from center to hard left or right, and this sounds natural. The idea is that when one directs signals left and right with the pan pot, the perceived loudness will stay the same, regardless of latitude.
However, both the direction of attenuation throughout the panoramic sweep and the amount by which the signal is attenuated vary according to pan rule. For example, the Yamaha digital consoles employ a typical (compromise) 3 dB pan rule, however, the signal is at full level at 12:00 and becomes progressively louder (up to + 3 dB) as it is panned to the right or left.
The 3 dB pan rule is a commonly applied compromise to comply with the mediocre acoustic summing capabilities of most control rooms. However, the console manufacturer SSL used to employ a 4.5 dB pan rule, because it was believed that their expensive consoles would normally be used in tuned rooms that had acoustic summing capabilities closer to the ideal.
Many consoles that have only one pan rule employ one such that a signal panned hard left or right is at full level and becomes progressively lower in level as the pan is directed to the center.
According to mastering engineer Glenn Meadows, the Kinoshita-Hidley rooms at Masterfonics (Nashville, Tennessee), produce close to 5.9 dB acoustic summing when both loudspeakers are presented with the same in-phase signal.
this fixed my problem. Thank you!

When I pan my guitars 100% L and R they lose volume and sound muddy. Any ideas? I did not have this problem with my previous daw.

I have a 6i6 and had the popping cracking problem. Change your buffer size and lower the spdif volme quite a bit. I dont think the 6i6 can handle the volume. It sounds nuts but it worked for me.
I plugged in an xlr to the front and realized the spdif vol was WAY louder so i adjusted accordingly
hope this helps -
Have you tried turning the spdif volume down?
What setting do you have the spdif output set to?
have you tried monitoring through your monitors to see how that sounds?
can you share a clip of the sound?
just a few thoughts hope it helps . -
Does it only happen when your daw is open or all the time?
are you muting the signal in the focusrite controller when you are monitoring through your daw?
i run my spdif vol around -5db. If i run it closer to 0db it cracks and pops when playing rhythms.
im using the focusrite 6i6 as wellI just tried many things:
Recording in 44,1 Khz: Doesn't change a thing. Interesting fact: Even if I record in Analog, I still get some crackles, but they seem less obvious than in SPDIF.
I tried to turn the SPDIF volume knob down a little but it didn't change a thing either.
Then I thought this might be due to some clipping in the input section. I have noticed that the DI tracks sometimes clip if I hit the strings really hard. But even if I turn the clean sens to -5db, these crackles still happen.
So in conclusion, I get these crackles, whatever I do. Maybe they come from some things in my playing. I have noticed that they seem to appear more in my rythm playing, especially when I play heavy palm mutes and sudden dynamic changes. But they don't seem to appear much on my solo tracks. Maybe this comes from the profile used too.
