You could do what I did and just keep a handful of presets on the unit itself. That speeds up boot time significantly.Speaking of boot times, could something be done about that? It takes a while.

The best is when you have a call that you are expected to be on, but you know you won't be expected to talk.I don't know if I applaud or pity your capacity to stay engaged in such meetings.
Especially meetings that could have been an email!How dare they make me stay mentally engaged in meetings. Darn them.
Texas Star Clean sounds utterly amazing. I paired it with the Legacy 105 (Rumble EV12L RNR1) and Legacy 106 (Rumble EV12S M160) and with the gain on 5, a FET boost in front, big dual delay and the South Church Reverb I can sit here for hours noodling away.
This is a little out of date but it's the gist of the changes:Hello! This may have been mentioned in another FW 16 beta thread, but does anyone know if this update affects the drives at all? I know I read about the gain being a little less for some people on some amps due to the modeling, but did this affect the drive block stuff at all too?
I'm in one of those right now...The best is when you have a call that you are expected to be on, but you know you won't be expected to talk.
Good to know, thanks. I don’t need a ton of presets, most of mine are stock and I use maybe 10 of my own. In fact my usage of AxeFX eventually converged to an amp-like situation, and of these 10, 3 are workhorse presets I use all the time: clean, crunch, and high gain. The rest are only used every now and then.Cut down on your presets. I have like 2 saved and my Axe boots up in a blink.
Just an idea for @FractalAudio : maybe the presets cache could be done in a background thread and the presets tab become available only once this thread finished?Good to know, thanks.

But as a software engineer myself, I’m pretty sure that if boot times haven’t been optimized yet, there’s a good chance they could be improved with 80% of the initial benefit coming from 20% of work.
Not a huge priority to be sure. But a good project for a new hire perhaps.
Haven’t had one in the past decade. Other than beer, I eat and drink pretty healthy. Not necessarily to live longer, I just feel better without eating the insane amounts of sugar that are otherwise “normal” in US diet.Damn, do you microwave your pop tarts?
Or maybe preload them in several threads in parallel, if that’s a possibility.Just an idea for @FractalAudio : maybe the presets cache could be done in a background thread and the presets tab become available only once this thread finished?
Got ya! Thanks for the reply! So, I didn’t see anything about the drive blocks, so I assume those are as is/was.This is a little out of date but it's the gist of the changes:

Also each release of the beta has notes about the changes so scan through those.
The auto standby switch was implimented to allow the virtual tubes to warm up properly.Speaking of boot times, could something be done about that? It takes a while.
same! hahaMine is currently my audio interface and rarely ever gets turned off so no problems here! The hardest part is not playing guitar during work phone calls when I’m on mute.
Personally, I don't mind how long it takes currently. I hit the switch then do something else for a minute. It spends most of its time waiting for me.Cut down on your presets. I have like 2 saved and my Axe boots up in a blink.
Or store the cache in memory. Update this cache everytime a preset name is changed or a preset is imported etc...Or maybe preload them in several threads in parallel, if that’s a possibility.
Odds are really good the cache is in memory after the unit has finished its boot, and then disappears when the power is removed, resulting in the need to reload the cache the next time it is powered up. That delay when we save a preset would be when the cache is updated and the preset is written to the non-volatile memory.Or store the cache in memory. Update this cache everytime a preset name is changed or a preset is imported etc...
