Hi !
I'm in trouble with recording my el.guitar thru the tube preamp Mesa V twin Rack into G Major over SP-DIF into Scope STM 2448. The sound is poor enough with no air ... Have anybody some device or tool or module like a spicosim. of a combo for Scope Project Plus ver.4.0 to make the sound breathe ? ?? I've got a "Speaker setup" module but that is not what I'm need. I work in a Cubase SX3 by the way. How should I configure my scope in routing window to rec in that manner?
Please Help , thank you.

SPDIF is a digital input, you are sure you wanne use that input?
if so, load the SPDIF Source module in your routing window, it represents the physical SPDIF connector on your Scope card.
Cable it to a Scope mixer of your choice (tif you wanne add plugins in inserts or via aux sends), and connect the Mix-out of the mixer to a ASIO Destination module.
Cubase 'sees' this ASIO module and it's channels.

Tip: Choose the number of ASIO channels from the ASIO Source module.

You should make your sound quality right before you grab it in Scope.
Scope is cristal clean

Good Scope guitar plugs:

- Celmo's free guitar plugin can help:

- The optional Dynatube is a great amp/speaker simulation, it's a topper.

well, your gear doesn't seem to be that bad...
so I'd rather guess the digital sync of the S/PDIF port isn't set properly
if Scope is set as clock master (the default), the TC box must be set to slave
you can check that in Scope's sample rate dialog

anyway, I'd suggest a slightly modified routing
connect the Mesa preamp to an analog port of the card directly to a mixer channel

connect the TC box to S/PDIF in/out like a classic FX loop
make a virtual cable from Analog source to S/PDIF destination as FX send
connect the FX return from S/PDIF source to another mixer channel
the level of that channel will be the amount of wet signal returned

this way you can adjust and record the pure signal plus the FX part on dedicated tracks

depending on what mixer you use in Scope, you may as well use an aux send/return with the same cabling for the TC
