so had my xl almost 2 weeks now . really happy with the purchase . I use a dual recto live so got it for home stuff and recording .although it may sneak into the live set up with how much I'm liking it at the moment
There is one feature though I havent gotten to work with much success. as an usb audio interface . I use a 5 or 6 year old edirol firewire card over thunderbolt adaptor into a 2 month old maxed out macbook pro . I run ableton 9 at 64 samples buffer and it is as latency free as any digital setup I've played. even run EZ drummer 2 over midi from my electric kit and can monitor , play and record in real time with no noticable latency at all
the re amping feature of the axe over usb could be usefull at times to me so I have tried it and is no where near usable. anything less than 512 buffer it clicks and pops and at 512 has so much latency its just not do able .I can set up delay compesation and direct monitor but seems like it should work better.I like montoring through the software. feels like I'm really hearing whats going on
drivers are installed and up to date.
its no where near a big deal , I didint buy it to be an audio interface. the option was just like a bonus . and I guess it works on par with how my old HD500 performed although from memory I could run that at 256 with decent results . guess I just expected it to perform a little better in that area
