    Anything like the Kemper "Space" setting for us headphone guys?

    So I have been long time Fractal guy since the AXE I Ultra. Recently, I got a Kemper to mess with and I quickly realized that the headphones through that unit just sounded so much more "real" and "amp like" to me than the Axe. After extensive testing I realized what was going on. The Kemper...

    No, this has been broken since day 1. It was fixed in 1.5 but the artifacts made 1.5 unusable.

    Fixed PC and DAW audio glitches and goes out of tune with digital artifacts every 10-15 seconds

    The recorded latency is horrific still on all but 2000 samples. Literally anything I record below that number is unusable because of how off tracked it is. The USB functionality on this product has been useless from day 1. Quite frankly, I've been very patient about this over the past 3...

    Austin Buddys Live Gold - Pack - Opinions, please ;-)

    I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on this based on all the positive noise. $85 is a lot of coin to swallow for presets, though. I do agree that the stock presets have never been astounding. That's my own subjective opinion, and I know a lot of people don't think that's true. For me...

    FM3 as home studio centerpiece?

    Right now, the FM3 has many many recording problems and couldn't possibly function as a standalone interface. The AXE 2 and 3 were fine for this. Until they get all the bugs out of the FM3 there is no way I could recommend it for recording.

    Cab pre-amp...I'm derping here.

    When you mic a cab, you typically run those mics into a fancy channel strip, Tape Deck, or preamp before it hits the DAW. These will usually add warmth and stuff like that. I really wish Cliff would give some sort of explanation since the names are pretty vague.
