Error while installing Axe-Fx II drivers

Please update us here when support gives you an answer. I hope it's really soon. I just told a friend to pull the trigger on buying an AxeFx II that he saw available. He bought it and if he can't get the drivers he is going to be unimpressed....and so am I. This type of thing seems like it...

Can someone from Fractal please respond to this? Kind of a big problem.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

Huge change from Quantum to Ares. Lots of work to adjust presets. More subtle changes from Ares 1 to Ares 2.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

I just appreciate what Cliff and team have done for us up to this point. If they give us anything else that is amazing, but I’ve been stunned at how he has done anything else at all for the II users. Fractal for life because of how amazing the company has been to users of an old product.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

Can't believe that us lowly II folk are still getting new firmware. It's literally amazing that Cliff would even do this. He has no reason to other than straight up kindness to his customers. This is the type of thing that will have me using Fractal Audio for life. Seems like I'm noticing the...

Quantum or Ares Firmware?

They both are honestly really great. I went to Ares and had to spend a hell of a lot of time tweaking things to get them sounding right. It was certainly worth it....but man was it a lot of adjusting.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

Tiger1016, if you go from Quantum to Ares you will need to tweak the amps yes. Not the other blocks that I noticed. The amp block though....you'll be spending some time there possibly.

Axe-Fx with Studio Monitors or FRFR speaker? Newbie here, need urgent HELP!

I use the HS7’s for my home studio. I run a separate interface (Presonus) from the AxeFx and think the HS7’s sound excellent. They are plenty loud for a home studio, though I wouldn’t mind the HS8’s. Live I use the Atomic CLR’s.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

Final thoughts on the final firmware now that I've had many weeks to adjust all my presets. It really helped the low end of things. I had to tweak the low end a lot, but it is better than it's ever been. Fewer presets are flubby, and if they are, it's easier to dial it out. Just a tighter and...

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

I totally understand anyone who makes this decision. I'm still tweaking presets. Ares changed the tone quite a bit and will require some serious time to tweak....especially if you do the old copy x to y and then reset the amp on x method.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

Finally took the plunge and updated to Ares. Fairly noticeable changes and a significant amount of tweaking necessary with many amps. Just a heads up for those still on the fence. Some amps are brighter, some are muddier, some have more gain, some are way quieter, some sound killer, some sound...

It’s that eternal tweaking of presets that has me on the fence about updating or not.
