    My XL Sounded Really Bad through a PA Today, Thats a New Experience!

    problem with direct to PA is guitar sound depends heavily on the quality of the PA. I Setup my Patches on my studio monitors and on quality PA they sound awesome! so if my guitar sounds not good its most of the time the crapy PA system and not the axe fx ;)

    Maybe new AF2 owner... Mam, Dad, I'm so scared!!!

    not all of us are constantly tweaking tone :D my live patches consist only of amp and cab for most of the time :D only here and there effects and a compressor for clean sounds. if you know what you re doing you can set up great sounding patches in under 2 minuits. if you new it might take you...

    Ax Fx ll vs Matrix Power Amp vowlume

    in theory best way is to turn up the axe output all the way and adjust the volume on the matrix. this way the levels of output of the axe and input of the poweramp are ideal. also consider leveling your presets to near 0dbfs to ensure optimal D/A performance. the lower the output of the matrix...

    Whether to get Axe Fx II XL for recording

    axe fx is THE device when it comes to recording guitar and bass .. you can record at low volumes and/or reamp later if you didn't like the tone :D

    High Gain Live Sound

    cutting at 6k doesnt mean there istn anything above the frequency ;) personally i dont cut anything .. if the FOH thinks there is too much low end in the sound he can easily cut it by himself

    Digital Users - Don't Like Being Stuck With 48kHz?

    only crap vst having problems with high frequencies .. most of them use oversampling to generate exact results up to 20khz. its true that more khz is in theory better when it comes to processing audio. i for myself did not encounter any situation in my musical daily routine where 48khz...

    Help! Reamping: Simultaneously Recording DI and Wet tracks

    a little trick for reamping two guitars at once (e.g. double tracked left and right guitars): pan the DI tracks hard left and right and in the axe preset add two amps and two cabs. under "other" in the amp block you can select the input (Left) for the left amp and via verca for the other amp...

    Is it time for Fractal to upgrade the DSP chips in the Axe FX II/Xl

    more cpu power is always better. only cliff can tell how much of compromises he has to make while programming ;) for myself i can count the times i ran out of cpu one the axe on one hand and i got one since the beginning :D (and i am using scenes, two ambs, two cabs on my live presets) if you...

    AxeFX 2 Drop in Signal Fidelity

    dont trusting the A/Ds in the axe .. even the A/Ds in your onboard laptop soundcard is nearly flat and those are a completly different league compared to the ones in the axe fx .. and to the g55: i've got one for my own and i was also concerned that it might eat up some of the signal. after...

    FCB1010 - is it possible?

    i think it should be possible. i have a fcb1010 too an my setup is: upper row: selecting patches bottom row: selecting scenes and the 5 for tempo tapping i think the looper in the axe is controlled via CCs so you have to disable all PCs for the button and only enable the correct CC for the...

    Axe fx 2 as interface: Glitching

    i have to check on my studio PC but i think im on 1024 or 2048 aswell ^^ is there anyone running the axe on buffer sizes like 128 or 256 ?
  15. G

    Axe fx 2 as interface: Glitching

    axe seems to need a high buffer setting (at least here) with my system i can setup more or less any interface to have a latency of ~3-4ms input/output. on the axe i am more like in the 30-40 ms domain .. as direct monitoring through the axe and latency compensation of my DAW work flawless thats...

    Compressors-Cabinet or Cabinet-Compressors?

    im going for the cab-comp option as it is more like a studio situation. OR pedal compressore before the amp. by using the compressor inbetween the compressor is reacting to a signal you're not hearing in the end (a harsh sound as you would hear by bypassing the cab simulation) so the overtones...

    Question: Why do different guitars react more with AFX rather than with a rea...

    this happens on my presets too. but only when using FRFR setups .. if i plug the same amp settings into my cab the difference is far less audible. the FRFR with impulse responses etc. is just a little more detailed to my ears then going through a cab and have the amp-in-the-room sound you might...

    Re-Amping someone else's DI

    i would suggest to match levels: just use a similar guitar/pickup combination as he has and record the dry track with your axe fx and then adjust the level of his DI track to match the one recorded through the axe fx in my experience the axe fx DI signal is very low compared to what i would...

    beginner: save for the tap dancing set up or the axe-fx set up?

    setting up a patch is pretty easy: - connect your guitar to the axe fx - create an amp block in the axe fx connecting it to the input and output - connect the axe fx out with the poweramp in - connect the poweramp with your cab done. for gigs: if there is a good PA you can use the axe fx to go...

    beginner: save for the tap dancing set up or the axe-fx set up?

    i would suggest to get yourself the axe fx, a solid state power amp and a good guitar cab (no need for 4x12, i would rather go for 1x12 or 2x12) the axe fx has all you need: amps, distortion pedals and effects for cab suggestion: go for a cab with celestion v30s its broadly used for...

    Drive Block at 0% Mix still effecting tone?

    Axe fx II... good enough for professional recordings?!

    well .. its even better than a real amp. a real amp u have to place your mics, settings wont be the same if you have to rerecord something or do some overdubs. finally: you can track your guitars and decide the sound later (in the studio) with reamping. since having an axe fx i didnt even...

    going from power amp and cabnets to direct recording from XLR'S ?

    I need to be criticize. Djent tone revision.

    Axe makes recording a breeze!

    for me i dont like the snare sound and the heavy guitars are too scoped with too much gain on it (but that might be just a taste thing ;)) what i like are the superb clean dottet 8th delay guitars and really smooth bass sound !

    Put a couple of hours into this. Used a double verb... Dark Indie Rock...

    i really do like the bass sound !

    yep just hook up a transistor poweramp behind it and you have nearly any amp u ever want to play :D
