Can’t Get Overloud TH2 to Work in X2 Pro

Did you watch the video in the other TH2 thread in here?

Not sure but it looks pretty indepth on how-to

Mike, thanks bro. I'm watching it now.

Are you using the tutorial project? It's pretty much all set up.

+1 . . . input echo . . . turn this on to hear the THD module in the signal path.

You want the track's input echo turned ON. If it's off you won't hear a thing. 

sorry guys...I should have specified that I've tried it both ways....nothing!

Note: i did not have this problem with the LE version, as the effects worked like a charm when patched to a track.....not sure what the problem is, but there is one.....should I install again?

Make sure you have your input trim turned up and you have selected the Hi Z setting on your interface if it has one. There is an input testing feature in TH2 that helps you get your input level set properly so look check that out. Also click the Master button at the top of the TH2 GUI. THose are the global controls that adjust overall levels and that's where you'll find the Gate which is crucial for keeping away unwanted noise.

That post got eaten by the forum before you posted your reply.

Here is a step by step that SHOULD make it work:

1) Plug in the guitar to your interface. Choose the Hi Z (Instrument) setting for the input if it has one.

2) Insert a MONO track into your project.

3) In the mono track go to the Input dropdown and choose the input that the guitar is plugged into.

4) Make sure the tracks output is going to the Master or another bus that eventually leads to the master.

5) Click the track's Input Echo button so it is ON.

6) Turn up the input trim on your interface. You should now hear the dry signal of your guitar.

7) Insert TH2 into the FX bin. Make sure the little blue power button next to the effect is turned on as well as making sure the FX bin isn't being bypassed.

8) Select a TH2 program bank and open the Master section to make sure the volume isn't turned down or anything.

At that point you should be in business. If not something is wrong. Sorry to state the more obvious steps but I wanted to be thorough.

Cheers. 

Make sure you load a program or at least one of the amp modules and that you do not have the FX bin bypassed in Sonar. Also make sure the FX power button for TH2 is turned on in the FX bin. 

I have the version of TH2 that comes with Sonar X2. I assume that's the full version, but I'm not sure. I can't access it directly from my programs to run it in solo mode like I can with Toontracks stuff. I think it was loaded with Sonar X2. Unlike Rapture and Dimension Pro, I was not asked for a registration or serial number. The program just loaded.
 
As for the effects bin being off, I assume you’re referring to the “bypass all audio effects” button in the skylight region. That button is not engaged; so, I don’t believe the effects are being bypassed. Also, the little button next to the fx insert area on the audio track is blue.
 
I’ve tried everything I can think of to get TH2 to work, but thus far I’m coming up short. I’ll keep troubleshooting, but in the meantime, I do appreciate all the help.

Had a similar problem after loading the free preset, I'm not sure if you have to hit load sound or not, in the preset page, but what I think finally got it going was the output, not able to check now, but for poops and laughter, try changing outputs in the track, along with Beepsters great instruction, good luck!

Hi everyone,
 
good day,
 
i am using TH3 as a plugin that comes with my SONAR professional, really impressive and very exciting that helps you to widen your ideas. my only concern is, there are times that most of my patches on the program bank are missing, suddenly the effect or preset i am using will be gone, so i started wandering for solutions. if i close the sonar program then open it again, all the patches are again available, then the same thing happens again, so i don't want to have it as a part of the rules to close and open sonar just to get back those patches available. one thing i've noticed is the internet connection, when my internet connection drops off suddenly, those patches will not work but other patches are still available, if the internet comes back with good signal patches are then again ok. i tried disconnecting my internet as a purpose, and yes it is, some of the presets will only depend on internet connection as my conclusion.
 
now can anyone please let me know if this is correct or i am only missing some points, i cannot say it's about installation coz it came up with sonar as a plugin, not unless i have problem installing sonar. or do i need to purchase the full version? or these patches are really relying for online use?
 
thank you so much guys
