    SPDIF not good, how about AES/EBU?

    This is what I was thinking, if you used even a cheap interface with SPDIF and firewire your DAW would still receive a "pure" signal with no conversion right?

    hey there buying my ax fx today couple quick questions

    I bought the standard too. It has enough memory for my purposes, it depends on how much of an effect hog you are. Even still, the standard can use quite a bit of effects/drives and what not. The amp models are the same as the Ultra so it of course sounds great. The good thing is that the...

    SPDIF not good, how about AES/EBU?

    Could someone please give me the link for the thread with Cliff talking about S/PDIF being "inferior" for recording? Or could somebody explain it to me? It doesn't make sense considering you don't deal with the A/D/A conversion...Arg... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

    Logic Pro guys- Why does my guitar tone sound like crap?

    Is this the hiss you were talking about? http://www.soundclick.com/player/single ... 39169&q=hi I think the interface I just got is bunk then :x When i just plug in directly into my sound card there is no hum/hiss like that.

    Logic Pro guys- Why does my guitar tone sound like crap?

    I've messed around a little bit with recording for a while but only with line 6 stuff so I was kind of used to the crappy tone. I focused mostly on song composition. I finally have a better bit of money and I think have all the right tools but I still can't get my guitar tones to sound big...

    Noob recording...first track with the Axe

    Yeah I am just running the Axe with the poweramp/cab sims on straight into the guitar port input from the axe output. Then I am just running that into the MBP into Garageband. I used an eq to cut the highs on garageband with some of the tracks.

    Good recording interface for Macbook pro (10.6.2)

    Good recording interface for Macbook pro (10.6.2)

    I'm looking for something pretty simple. I was thinking that a spdif to firewire would work great. Just something small, simple and high quality sounding to go with my Axe. Any suggestions?

    Midi devices that work with Macs? (Macbook Pro user)

    So what are they? I can't for the life of me get my Cakewalk Roland UM-1G to work with my Axe as well as another forum member. Also: I am looking for a recording interface preferebly with Firewire and S/PDIF. Are there any units that work for the mac and Axe that have this? I've seen the...

    So is the MosValve 962 any good?

    Hmm... ok. I really would like to take advantage of the poweramp sims. Looks like I need to try out a more "clean" poweramp.
  18. G

    So is the MosValve 962 any good?

    I picked one up for 60 bux. Any other users of it? Is an Art sla-2 "better" or does it really make a difference since they are both solid state?

    Not getting what I want out of my Axe...

    Ok cool! I just wasn't sure if there was a general rule of "SS poweramp maxed is better"
  20. G

    Not getting what I want out of my Axe...

    Ok cool, I really doubted the straight preamp signal through a SS poweramp would sound "good". Do you know about the whole to crank the level or not to crank it on a SS?

    Not getting what I want out of my Axe...

    Well part of the reason I want to keep the Axe is to use it at reasonable volumes. Its not "low" low, but its not completely cranked. I thought the Axe was good a low volumes? And thanks I'll try out that clean preset.

    Not getting what I want out of my Axe...

    Cab sims are off. I wasn't sure about the poweramp sim with my MosValve since its a solid state. For a Marshall to sound right, you really need to hear its powersection in my experience.

    Not getting what I want out of my Axe...

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought V30's are a good match for Marshall mid gain? EDIT: Also all I have is a crappy guitarport, so for the time being thats all I have to go on. I have more V30's so I can swap the 75 out and I'll try that.

    Not getting what I want out of my Axe...

    Thanks on the clean front guys. I worked with the dumble amp model today and got something I really like. I'm still chasing that JCM800 tone though, I can't seem to coax that famous sizzle out of it.

    So I've owned the Axe Standard for about 2 months now. I've read around on the Axe-wiki a good bit and while I can get some great warm and fat clean tones and some great tight high gain tones there is a lot more I'm trying to coax out of it. 2 tones I am really trying to get right now is a...

    WHY would I need the ULTRA? PRACTICAL COMPARISON (=examples)

    Parametric EQ tip - 'Contouring your sound'

    Really? This was the first thing I went after when I got my Axe-FX. It is a great thing to use, but I'm surpised more people didn't just do it immediately. Oh well, it is a great tip :idea:

    Bad Idea?: SPDIF to Firewire

    Thanks man :) ! I will look into that. But do you know what I mean? If it was a very simple box that works seamlessly with the axe so you got as direct a sound as possible without any AD conversion. I think this would make dialing in the axe much easier.
  38. G

    Bad Idea?: SPDIF to Firewire

    I've been looking around at some different interfaces and all I want is a simple bare bones SPDIF to firewire interface for quick and easy recording. This would work perfectly with the Axe. I know the Axe PC is coming out, but for those of us with the other Axe's I would find this very useful.

    Axe-FX standard is the worst purchase I have ever made

    Oh ok... To be honest, any amp I have plugged in gets some of that unwanted fizz way up high. The Axe most definitely doesn't have the fizz of say a line 6, but it is still their for me. And yes, I use a PEQ now to get rid of that instead.

    So I tried making my first recording with the Axe...

    So I tried making my first recording with the Axe...

    I have never seen a Presonus Inspire used for under 50 bucks. If you find one please let me know haha. But yes, a friend of mine had that and it is an excellent piece of gear without having to lay down a huge amount of cash.
  44. G

    So I tried making my first recording with the Axe...

    If you can make riffworks sound good with line 6 guitar port then I will believe you. However, I doubt its that extreme. Still, I am to blame for a lot of it though. I know I have to work on my recording, so do you know of any good places to start? Or some good programs? I'm using a Mac Book pro.

    Axe-FX standard is the worst purchase I have ever made

    So then why when I cut out all the other frequencies besides 16k do I still hear a sound? And even if it is the roll of of the filter from the 16k, that roll off takes care of the fizz. And besides the roll off from that, having a larger amount of controls still would interest me because you...

    Best and cheapest 1 rack space SS Power amplifiers

    Axe-FX standard is the worst purchase I have ever made

    Yeah, I have a graphic eq that I used for my other amps at 16k. I would cut out all the annoying ass fizz up top. So yes, I did hear those frequencies. And when I used the parametric eq for those frequencies on the Axe I heard them cut out and a big improvement in tone. Maybe your ears have...

    Axe-FX standard is the worst purchase I have ever made

    Don't kill me for asking this first question..... 1. What separates the Ultra from the Standard? I heard the amp models are exactly the same and the only difference was the effects. Is that correct or not? A quick link works so you don't exhaust yourself from my ignorance. 2. I heard there was...
