Awful problem with Amplitube 3

I've been using FL Studio 9 for a while now and it's been great. I use it with an average home pc with an average sound card and some slightly above average pc speakers. No problems at all.
I recently purchased a GuitarPort and Amplitube 3 so I could record guitar. When opening Amplitube as a plugin and warming up for a take the software sounds clear and realistic. I'd have to say it's the best amp modeling software I've ever heard. However, once I have captured the track it's a whole different story.
Listening to anything I record with Amplitube for more than 30 seconds makes my ears feel like they're bleeding, even at low levels (I'm not kidding). There is a high frequency hiss totally overpowering any guitar tone I use, clean or distorted. It completely washes out everything in the 5500-6500 hz range. The noise is literally painful to listen to and I am left with a dull ring and aching eardrums for about an hour after trying to mix anything.
I have never experienced anything like this before. Several of my friends use Amplitube with similar setups and they never have this problem. I have tried different cables and different guitars. No difference. If anybody could shed some light on what the problem might be I'd really REALLY appreciate it. Thank you!

Nov 04, 2010 09:09 am ya prolly need to turn the gain up on the interface...is that big knob a volume or gain type thing?.....make sure your guitars volume is all the way up....get a hotter signal to the computer in general.
Nov 04, 2010 10:37 am you're using it as a plug-in, right? not recording the processed signal?
Nov 04, 2010 12:22 pm You may want to decide if you're re-playing the plugin on your recorded signal, or if anything else is going on like that.
Thinking out loud; you have your incoming signal, kinda boring, and no effects. This gets sent into the FX program (amp) where it get's modified, etc. Then the outgoing signal sounds nice.
Maybe, you're recording the EFFECTED signal (or wet), then when you play it back, you're sending the wet signal back into the FX-Amplitude.
Try turning off the FX to play back. Then it'll play the recorded wet signal, but not feed it into the FX again.
So you know, i'm just thinking out loud here. It could be something else, but figured it was at least worth checking. I think I've done this before and have been unpleasantly surprised =).
Nov 04, 2010 04:03 pm oOooOo i think you might be on to somethin' there pat...good call
Nov 04, 2010 10:04 pm Those were my thoughts as well pjk. and, come to think of it. when i first got Pod Farm, i didn't know about the vst plugin setup. So i just had pod farm running, and pressed record in my daw. and it actually did record, but it was hideous! not sure why, even now. but even if the signals not being processed twice, something may be going on like that.
Either way, i think the problem is the signal you're recording isn't a dry signal from your guitar. Try PJKs advice. should save ya :)
Nov 05, 2010 09:50 am heh, I think I caught onto your idea, then got more verbose about it. After I read them again it seemed like I was expounding on your idea.
