A defective $800 piece of equipment should be replaced.
I am hoping someone on here can give me confirmation because Avid support isn't the easiest to locate without a paid subscription.  |
1. You should have a free support ASC obtained when you registered your products that allow you to call Avid.
2. I'm not sure what you are expecting from an electrical guitar. The signal is *very* low level. Stop fixating on "the lights" and set it to what sounds good (both dry and when amped/wet). In the real world you boost that with a guitar amplifier, the pre-amp/DI is not the same. You do know that you need to put an amp-simulator plugin (sasamp, Eleven Free, Eleven, or many other third party ones) on that dry guitar track to get it to "normal levels" right?
