I made a preset in at2 two weeks ago...

today I have 2 tracks in my daw, one with x-gear inserted, the other with at2. Both have this at2 preset loaded. All things being equal, as I go back and forth between the two tracks I find there is a marked difference.

wtf??

Maybe you have a different oversampling options on both?

Check under preferences to see if they match.

nope. As I said, all things being equal.

I turned them all on, to be sure

maybe it's something else I missed

Can you post an A/B sample?

I am interested by this as well.

a better idea is to post the preset so you can try it in at2 and x-gear for yourself.

get the preset HERE

I had X-Gear lose connection with my sound drivers. I'm using a Line6 Toneport as my soundcard. It has work with AT2 and ATJH flawlessly on their own. I had to reboot to fix it. It hasn't happened again, but it seems X-Gear may be much hungrier than the others on their own.

I confirm that the two sounds are different.

You know what I think? I think that XGear doesn't use the AT2 pak on your system but the one included with it, which might explain the difference in tonality.

Policat, we discovered the reason why. It confirmed my suspicions.

cool. I'll try adjusting the gain later today and let y'all know in that thread

The difference I hear could be described as "wimpy" so...

thx for throwing this in over there!
