The mg 300 really is a great all around pedal. I think the best part about recording with it is that all the processing for effects and distortion happen on the mg 300 itself, so you can keep the buffer size way down low. Love it👊👍
...and it WORKS :) you are amazing !!!!!!!!!!! thank you VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to you I ve found Reaper, and Im pleasently surprised by this SW and also thanks to you I can now record in Studio One 5 You are the BEST !!!
Most DAWS also allow for that latency correction, even though it's it's only milliseconds. This will allow for 'dead-on' timing. I looked this up for Reaper. EDIT: I'm having an issue with mine when I try and record. (WIN10) I could never connect to the QuickTone software unless I use the lower driver version for Win7, and regardless of which drivers I use I cannot record into a DAW with it. Every time I arm a track and hit a note, I get nothing but static. Latest firmware installed. Huge driver issues from my perspective. I ordered an actual recording interface to bypass the entire issue. Had zero issues recording, connecting and using as a soundcard with my PODHD500X. Better coded drivers one can only assume, unless it's something about my WIN10 build. i dunno.
I cant hear recorded audio in my DAW, i think the problem is the usb cable, since im using a cp cable, that may be the problem. thanks god i saw this video. Keep it up sir.. thanks
You need a 3.0 usb cable and if you are connected to a laptop i recomend get a powered usb hub sometimes laptops draw loss of power and get the signal lost that was my case
Bought Nux MG300 , I connected my Mg300 via usb to windows laptop and selected output as Speakers Realtek audio(laptop speakers), I see the input signal is fine but there is no output any solutions
I am having a problem connecting the NUX MG-300 to my computer. The Nux Quicktone works, I can mix. But I am not hearing a monitor or output on my headset. I was the output to be on my headset. And even if I select NUX output or headset output on my computer I don't hear the sound of my guitar unless it's connected and output to an amp. When I record on Audacity, there's no sound while I play the guitar. But when I play the recorded play, I can hear the output on my headphones. There's no solution I can find on the web or RU-vid or anything.
Hi Scott. I purchased a NUX MG 300. I did the firmware update, recalibrated the expression pedal, and installed the ASIO drivers in Windows 10. I use Pro Tools to record. I’m able to record into Pro Tools through the MG300 USB port and see that the signal is getting through; however, when I disarm the track and play it back, I can’t hear what I recorded. I routed the outputs to stereo 1 and 2 in PTs IO, but no sound comes back through the MG300 Headphone output. I only hear my guitar signal plugged into the MG300s input. How can I hear the signal I recorded? I’m very confused! Thanks for any help!
Hi I used the competition as in a Valeton GP100 and just wondering how you get such a good rocking yet smooth overdrive? Was there a High Pass filter on the final recorded guitar? Cheers!
He used the Matchless amp model with a JHS Morning Glory aka Marshall Bluesbreaker type overdrive in front. Try anything similar on your device like a Vox model with a Bluesbreaker. 90% of the gainy tone itself will be in the amp model, pick attack and stuff will be tweaked by the OD and smoothness somewhat can also be contributed by the IR
Hello, I have tried 3 different USB cables which are data cables? but the quicktone still is asking "please connect the Modeler with USB". what could be the problem? thank you
I faced the similar problem... Only thing to do is to update the firmware of your mg300 and after the update, the pedal will be connected to quicktone.
Great Video as always. Thanks for sharing. **** question answered somewhere down below .... no drumming track on the audio interface. Thats pretty lame ad means I can't use any MG300 drumming tracks to build a song unless I run it through another audio interface. Not the PEDAL guys problem though ;-) ... but it means my pedal/equipment board just got bigger with the inclusion of the Rubix 22 and the RC3. Is there a way that when I record that I can record it with the MG300 drumming track ? The Drumming track signal doesn't make it over the USB connection for the audio interface but the drumming track is present on the output jack If the drumming track doesn't come with the instrument signal for recording then the only way is to feed the MG300 output to another audio interface (I got a Rubix 22) but I had hope I can avoid that. (I'm importing into REAPER)
You need to be more specific. The audio quality is fine with the mg-300. But it depends on the buffer setting in your daw to ensure the best audio performance
@@ThePedalGuythe thing is I ain't got an amp or speakers and I kind of wanted to practice in silence as well. I tried setting the audio device to windows sound one in reaper but it sounded horrible tbh 😂.
Sorry for the late reply. This was the output of the mg300 plugged into my mixer which was recording the video portion of this tutorial. In other words, I was using two computers to demo this functionality
Hi, I do all You said, and I can see my Cubase recording the sounds from NUX. The problem is, I cannot HEAR anything. I only can connect my NUX directly with my headphones, and then I can hear guitar only, but no other tracks or any sound at all from laptop. Speakers in laptop are silent?
Make sure that your computer is using your computer speakers for audio output. When you plug the MG-300 in, Windows will automatically route the ins and outs to it as the default audio device.
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for answer! Computer speakers are working with other software - spotify, web browser etc. The problem is only with DAW (Cubase, I also tried in Reaper) - after setting up NUX Asio as the driver for inputs and outputs, no sound comes out from DAW. I can see in DAW, that the sound from my guitar is going in, I can even "record" something, only there is no sound to hear it. I think DAW sends the sound to the NUX device, but from the device I can only hear my guitar, and nothing else. Weird...
I saw the question above but no answer yet. How it it possible to hear the other tracks (plugins, drums etc) not just the guitar ? I'm using Logic on mac OS 11. Thanks!
Hi Sir 👋🏻 . Can I use Nux Mg 300 as an Audio Interface . And does it work with Daws like FL Studio or Ableton Live ?? . Thanks for providing such precised reviews and walk-throughs 😇
I try the newest version of Asio from NUX but after this driver my quicktone program can not run any more. My laptop has windows 10 64 bit with the latest update. How can I get to work???
@@ThePedalGuy I downloaded the Windows 7 version of the Asio driver and now it works perfect. It is strange why the Windows 10 version not works on my Windows 10 laptop. However it works now perfect. But how I can record backtrack, drums and guitar at the same time in Reaper.
Just wanted to know where you hooked directly into your computer I mean was the sound coming from you pc speakers or an amp if so how exactly to I hook mine up to my pc like which USB port or does it matter...and thanks for the video
Hi. In this case, I recorded straight into my laptop via the MG-300 USB. For the sake of capturing it for the video, I routed the audio output of the MG-300 to my video capture setup but that didn't change the sound at all.
@@ThePedalGuy I will ,have been using a DigiTech pr70, its not bad but very badly laid out no knobs just buttons and layers of menus and sub-menus and a bunch of LEDs that you're supposed to interpret what they mean, also the plastic pedal button are very cheap and fail very fast, the nux is much better laid out with a nice easy to understand display and the metal pedal buttons that look like they will last longer.
Sir. pedal guy I used mg 300 in fl studio 20, everything works but the problem is; after recording i cannot hear what i recorded apparently the sound visuals are going but nothing to headphones or speakers
@@ThePedalGuy that happened to me too, i can see the signal on the in-put, but there's no waveform on the recorded track, neither is the monitoring sending any outputs
@@ThePedalGuy ...thank you for the help. Now i can get the signal between -22 to -12 db. I'm still new and Nux MG300 is my first pedal ..a lot to learn ..tq
Hello thanks fot the video, but i have this problem: i've downloaded and updated correctly the mg300 firmware, i have quick tone and installed the Windows drivers, everything looks fine (i have communication With Quicktone and in the driver icon i see my nux connected), but i cant see any of tje buffer options and from reappers it says that is a problem opening the driver, what could i do?
Hello I am from Argentina. I have a problem with the sound. I can see the Nux Mg300 connected to Quicktone. I did it with usb cable to computer. I play the guitar but i can't hear it on the PC speakers. Do you know what the problem could be? Is by the output of the Nux MG 300 the only posibility to hear the guitar? ?Thanks
@@ohnoitssofia6029 hola Ana. Cómo estás? Pregunté en varios lugares, estuve probando y los conclusión es que hay que escuchar la guitarra sacando el audio por la salida de audio de la Nux, no por la Notebook. Lo probé y así funciona. Por un lado, se puede controlar los diferentes presets (los ampli, los pedales, etc desde la pedalera y ver los cambios en la compu o bien hacer los cambios desde la conpu. Es importante ver qué la notebook y la pedalera interactúan. Además, se ve que aparece conectada porque te abre la interfaz. Sinó, te dice que enchufes el cable USB. Una vez en esta situación, deberías poder conectar unos auriculares (no del celu, sino de esos más grandes) en el output de la pedalera y escuchar la guitarra por ahí. Otra opción es conectar, en lugar de unos auriculares, un cable plug o miniplug a la entrada auxiliar de un ampli, esas que algunos ampli tienen para poner pistas externas en MP3. Eso es porque vos desde la pedalera ya sacas el sonido "coloreado" y no querés que el ampli sume amplificación porque seguro estás usando uno simulado en la Nux. Según me dijeron, está la posibilidad de escuchar a la través de la PC, pero hay que configurarlo a través de un DAW (programas para grabar pistas como Reaper, Protools, etc) Fíjate en principio si logras escuchar por la salida de la Nux e ir interactuando con la Compu
I just got the mg 400 I have it hooked up via usb .. using reaper.. I get a signal.. but I cant hear it through my monitors .. only way I can is if i switch to my audio interface for playback.. can I use the mg 400 asio and also hear via my monitosr.. or do I need to plug the outputs of the mg into my audio interface to do that? thanks
@@ThePedalGuy I just got my mg 400 last week. I followed the same process as the 300, except I downloaded everything for the 400. Used Reaper, and had no problem at all. A straight shot! I am new to guitars because I play keyboards, but this machine here?? I'll never give up because it makes my creative juices flow!!
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for your answer. For those interested: the Valeton GP100 does allow dual recording. However, as far as I can tell, it doesn't let you reamp...
Hi, thank you. I did everything exactly like you show. I have Windows 10. Asio driver downloaded and I can see the input signal and I can record, BUT I have NO SOUND coming out of the reaper. I know that your sound comes from the headphone output of the Nux in this case. But I should be able to hear it directly from the Reaper. Please help, I woul appreciate it very much. Thank you.
How is the audio quality and latency and hiss noises when using the Nux mg300 as Audio Interface compared to external Audio interfaces like the Forcus scarlett or behringer ????
I followed your steps but it seems like theres a chorus effect when i record even though in my nux theres no chorus. But after the recording when I playback the chorus ia no longer there, Is there a problem in my monitoring
Can this pedal record two input sources directly via AuxIn and another 3/4 input channel? I connected my Electret mic to AUX-In channel but no sound is recorded.
Hi! Thanks for the video! When I use the MG300 as my audio interface, I find that the recording volume is very low. I would play the tracks on my DAW and record my guitar and the volume is fine but when I play back what I just recorded, the volume is way down. I made sure to set the recording and playback levels at 0. I also tried plugin in the pedal into my M-Audio audio interface but the sound quality is atrocious. All I want to do is hear what I'm recording, at the right level and in real time. I already have guitar rig and just bought this pedal to lower my computer processing power load. Any ideas?
Will the MG300 also digitize the signal from the aux input through USB? E.g. to jam with a backing track and record the combined signal directly in my DAW.
I've just tried it, and luckily (for me) it only records guitar, no aux, no drums/metronome. Is there a problem mixing the backing track and guitar in DAW afterwards? EDIT: Just to be specific (I don't think it makes a difference) I haven't used AUX input, instead used MG300 via USB as PC's audio output (to hear the PC sounds in headphones connected to mg300 directly)
@@brakpseudonimu236 Hi, I know it's a year ago, but still - If I'd want to hear the sound through my speakers I'd have to plug them into my MG300 and assign it as the main audio device? And after I'm done playing I'd have to plug them again into my PC? Not possible to assign the speakers or headphones which are plugged into PC and use them that way without plugging them into MG300 ?
Does anyone know how to use audacity to record the tone from the Amp, merely using MG 300 as an audio interface for recording. Typically this has no problem using audacity and and Quicktone editor. However, this round I wish to use only the THR10's tone (amazing) and I do not want Nux MG 300 tone on it, while retaining capability of amp/Nux to PC recording capabilities. So far I have tinkered with Mode (Combo Rear, Combo Front, Studio etc), Settings (Dry out/reamp) to no avail. What results is just a "flat" tone where all amps/pedals in Quicktone is bypassed, and none of the distorted tone out of the THR10. Does anyone know how to get the tone from THR10 into audacity?
I’m sorry but I don’t understand the question as you have asked the same question on several of my vids. You want to record a flat, unprocessed tone into Audacity from the MG300?
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for the reply. I want to record what's purely out from my THR10 into the computer. But it seems that passing through NUX MG 300 (I've turned off all amp/pedal into bypass in Quicktone editor) and into PC/Audacity, what results is a flat tone. The MG300 needs to be here as I need it to be my audio interface.
@@ThePedalGuy hi, I already did. But I cannot find the solution to it. I record with the dry signal, and then switch to reamp mode in the Quicktone. But it does not work eventually. It does not record anything with reamp mode. :(
@@zapphoddbubbahbrox5681 Hey, could you please elaborate? Are there confirmed cases of their software being trojans or just general caution because of country of origin or something else?
Hi, I am getting a low record input with the DAW (reaper) so I have to turn the volume up so much to get a decent record input level. Do you posible know why could this happen? Thanks .-
Thanks for the answer. Yes I have... all at 0 db and so I've modified them to increase de record level but still no so much difference... I've got something in mind to solve it. I'll share it as soon I get to do it
@@guga7 partially solved increasing the level knob of the pedalboard when I m recording and decreasing the level of all the others instruments in the daw. but still the recording level is low... I'm keep working on it.
I'm having trouble getting this to work on my Mac. Are there any specific videos or resources you could point me to to show me how I can get audio to come out? Do I need an audio interface or just QuickTone and Reaper?
@@b.y.1957 Yes. I figured out in a FB group that my USB cable was only a charging cable and not one capable of data transfer. When I bought a new cable it worked just fine and now I used my MG300 all the time!
hiya, would it be best to use 'studio direct' mode in this case? or if i still have my combo amp connected whilst recording, should i stay in combo front? thanks
Hi sir. Can i use this pedalboard as a interface and the helix native program on the PC? I tried but it Sounded rare. Maybe i missed configurate something.
You really shouldn't have anything like the latency delay at 5.31 in the video, or be trying to work around it by disarming tracks etc. I have an MG 300 and there is zero latency when connected to DAW. There is no need for the MG300's audio out to be connected to the PC as audio should be coming through the USB out. Perhaps that's what's causing the latency issue here? I would dump it if the latency was that bad!
Appreciate the feedback, but I think you're missing the point. Every computer is different and will respond differently to ASIO and latency. I have done this for over 25 years and it's never the same every time. The purpose of what I showed was to avoid the problem all together by not monitoring with latency. All of the audio you heard was coming via USB mixed in with my VO.
Too Complicated. Too many downloading this update and that update. This is what I have done with my old, second hand Digitech Modelling Guitar Processer. I Plug my guitar in the input jack on the back of the digitech, then plug in a short chord running from my digitech into my cheap audio interface that is hooked into my computer Thats it! I recorded some fantastic music doing this through my DAW in Bandlab. It sounds fantastic.
