Rather then making another post I'll keep this one going. Last night I went back to fw9 and for those interested here hows and what I've experienced so far.....
Used fractal-bot to downgrade to fw9, then proceeded to use Midi-ox to load in my fw9 presets banks, everything seemed to work and sound fine. Played around with it for quite awhile, wrote down some advanced settings and decided to try V10 again. Used fractal-bot to load V10.02 ONLY, then used fractal-bot to load in my preset banks. Yes I backed up everything.
Went in and reset the parameter, which I was tired and thought that was a system reset. :roll Anyway, I found out I was having more sound problems then what I thought.
I had all the above. Some presets I'd set the level just right, and days later I would go back to that same preset and it would be clipping bad. I had one preset and dropped in volume so much I could barely hear it and it sounded very muffled. That was really strange.
All the amps in my first upgrade to V10, sounded bright, which I thought sounded normal, too much bass, like the Mesa recto, and the Splawn Nitro..worst one) and too early to tell but apparently a bit hollow, and way loud. Now, some of my presets have changed quite a bit, some better some not so good. I also tried one of the loudest, bass driven amps in my FIRST upgrade, the Splawn Nitro....badass amp btw. Now it seems a bit more normal, that bass that had me clipping seems about right.
I know clipping is normal in V10, but this was way beyond that, and the amps master volume was set at default both times, I didn't change that in my first attempt or this time around.
Like I said maybe I'm speaking too soon, but this is a huge difference and wouldn't have thought it would change so drastically just from a uninstall, reinstall. If something strange or odds comes up I'll just report it back here. As far as the TM, haha.....I want to play without being frustrated and annoy the shit out of Cliff, and myself, so staying away from that for awhile.
Also, forgot to add I thought when you uninstalled then reinstalled all the user cabs 51-100 would be lost? Mine were still loaded.
