Hi
It seems that iZotope Trash is unusable. I downloaded a few presets from their website. In most of the ones with distortion, whenever i play a note on my guitar, i get a nearly white noise without any tonal qualities. I tried decreasing the distortion but that didn't work. What shud i do?
Problem with iZotope Trash

I haven't tried with my (real) guitars yet (I think), but I use it with several EP's (e.g. LL3), and it always sounds good.
Did you play your guitar thru the pc before? with a good clear sound?

Check how much cpu is used when you run it(Taskmanager->System performance or similar).
In options turn off all about meters which consume a lot of cpu. Both in and output meters and the different graphs.
Check all the tips in online helpfile for Trash to reduce cpu.
Use Alternate boxmodeling was better for me etc.
Since the basic guitarsignal is the one that is recorded, record a part first and listen that clean signal is sounding good.

I had a problem with presets and it was related to OS language and regional settings
maybe that could be useful also to you

What do you mean not work for guitar?apakhira wrote:Well, the thing works 4 synths, i observed but not 4 guitar. I wonder why.. btw, my CPU utilization goes upto around 75% peak.
It does not record clean and nice either?
In that case, a synth has line level out and is well adapted to soundcard in computer.
A passiv guitar pickup need a preamp of some kind that fixed the impedance load for guitar, and also right level.
So a mixer, DI-box or intermediate guitarpedal is what you need, I think.

Speaking as s a guitarist 'Trash' is my most used plugin. I have no idea what your issues are. How about listing your gear/signalpath/host et. al. maybe we can help sort out whats happening. IMHO This is THE guitar plugin (also great for everything else I throw at it...) So I think there is something else happening.

Why not make a mixdown of what you get, and let us listen. Put it on the web.apakhira wrote:no. it records clean and nice, i meant the specific distortion presets
Not seldom have I found that description of what it sounds like are far from my own definition.
And use one of the presets that came with Trash, that is not altered in any way. There are some strange boxmodels there, so take a regular blues or something.
Otherwise I think Izotopes support is the right place to turn to. You have bought Trash, yes?

It could be an impedence mismatch then. Can you get hold of any hardware to interface with the PC via something that is designed to interface instruments with a PC? Maybe borrow something from someone else?

apakhira,
Contact Izotope. I have had great technical support from them. Via e-mail they usually respond within the same day.
I route my washburn electric through Trash for all my recording and I get everything from pristine clear tones to real nasty distortion (and everything in between). For me it works well as Guitar Rig or Amplitude. I haven't had the problems you describe but I would bet if you contact Izotope they would be able to help identify the problem and offer a solution.
Kind regards, cooljazz58

I figured it out i guess. The signal entering was 2 high 4 the preset gain level. Lowering it helped in most cases. But in the presets which used the "Hard Limits" transistor type clipping, it didn't. At lower gain it was clean.But at higher levels i heard a clean sound and white noise, mixed together. I wonder why...
Another thing which i wanna know: in most distortion plugins, including Coldfire Distbit, if i set the gain 2 high, it sor of acts like a noise gate: the guitar hum goes off when not playing, and when a note is played, it plays at high gain and then cuts off suddenly. Why does that happen?
