I have just about given up on using the console emulation in prochannel.  Running Win 7 64  and 64 bit X2a. When I attempt to insert the prochannel console emulation it turns vocals into a bad imitation of darth vader and unusable.  Anyone else run into this? Since I have UAD SSL/Neve and also Slate VCC I am just using those instead.

Something is wrong then. The emulator is just a visualization of a analog circuit. Its effects are subtle. It could be you are driving it too hard. What are your wave files like? Are they very hot?    

Could it be that you're overloading the ProChannel to begin with and that sticking a console emulation at the end of it, with the trim turned up, is just breaking everything up? I suffered from nasty distortion using the CE on synths until I "got" the whole ProChannel gain staging thing. 

darth vader,lol,i thought you were having a laugh but then realised it ACTUALLY is making it sound like darth vader!

No idea, I mean I struggle to even hear any effect with the console emulator. Maybe it is severly overloaded, or hey it could be a bug.

Cool! I want a Darth Vader preset!

Gain-staging is crucial when working with the Pro Channel. You don't want any of its little red "LEDs" to light solid red, ever.

sorry couldn't resist. I have searched my feelings and I know this to be true. Beepster these aren't the presets your looking for........

I don't have that problem. sounds like the signal is to hot or there is distortion coming from some where. It should be a very subtle effect like John says

This is not the effect you are looking for.....

The Force is strong in this one...
