Confessions of a sound man

Regarding live sound connectivity ............... Most digital desks now have single XLR inputs that accomodate any input signal level from mic to line, so no problem. Most analog desks have XLR mic inputs and TRS line level inputs. Although you can turn your Axe output way down and go into...

Seeking Opinions: controlled feedback in different firmware versions

Thanks for the response, Pinkycramps. I get great feedback from my Axe, I'd say comparable with my best tube rigs but I was just wondering if anyone had noticed an inherent improvement in guitar/cab feedback interaction since FW14.02. In any case, like you said, it's easy to check out newer...

Seeking Opinions: controlled feedback in different firmware versions

I'm a gigging player using an Axe2 with fw14.02. It's awesome and honestly, I could work with it forever as is. Can anyone comment from personal experience if any firmware versions newer than 14.02 have an improved propensity to get controlled feedback (as compared to 14.02 and earlier)...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

To summarize my observations so far..... We have camp1 that says: "Hey Fractal, if losing preset-backwards-compatibility for major firmware updates will allow you to go further with the A2 hardware platform, please do it! And if losing outdated or redundant controls makes your life easier, lose...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

Even if this thread was pointless (which it's not), that would not give you a valid reason to shout. There are countless "pointless" threads on the forum. Next time you encounter one that you feel has no merit, just ignore it. Doh. DBAD. Further, you should be well aware that informal user...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

I don't agree with you. It's a valid debate. "dumbest", "nonsensical", and "LOL" are uncalled-for. I believe that you are wrong about Fractal in one respect: from what I've seen, Fractal does very much take into account feedback from owners. Where I hope you are correct, is where you are...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

I think you're half-right: IMO, you're correct in saying that we don't know the extent to which adhering to "preset-backwards-compatibility" affects development. IMO, you're wrong in saying that it's not logical. I would argue that it's very logical to think that adhering to...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

As I noted in my first two posts, I do totally see your position. My thinking is that Fractal is never going to stop developing, so the longer Fractal can keep developing on the A2 platform the better for us A2 owners, right? And no downside for Fractal because the new customers are always...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

I don't object to your advocacy for backwards compatibility, but I object to your ignorant assumption and unnecessary tone. I will ignore any further posts from you. I will make one general observation at this point: All the supporters of dropping backwards compatibility (the clear majority...

FW15 - Backwards Compatibility Compromises Development?

Sorry Clarky, I have to disagree on a couple of things you say: First of all, I'm a lifer (pro player) and I don't have any problem re-building my patches for each FW release. It's quite likely that they are not as complex as yours but my point here is please don't suggest that the guys with...

You, sir, appear to be an argumentative buffoon. Your ongoing struggle with grasping the point suggests intoxication. From now on, I will ignore your posts.
