Recording newbie question

I'm using current drivers and connecting directly to PC not through a hub. I'm not getting this crackle when connecting via HX Stomp so it's not external 'interference'.

Recording newbie question

Mmmm. I'm not having much luck with ASIO on AxeFXIII. Everything is set to 48000 (48k) I have tried ALL the I/O buffer settings from 16 > 2048. Still clicks/pops. However the ASIO settings on my Line 6 HX Stomp work just fine. 48000/1024

Recording newbie question

Very simple setup - I've connected my AxeFxIII to my Windows 10 PC via USB cable. I'm recording a guitar track with Adobe Audition but I'm getting a crackling sound along with the recorded guitar. The crackling sound is not present if there is no guitar input ie: the guitar is not playing. I've...

How good of quality are Axe-FX III's wah pedals compared to real wahs?

I owned a Mission pedal for a few years but the diecast housing collapsed and the pedal 'caved in' to the base section. It wasn't from stomping too hard. I believe it was from the metal flight case it was housed in with my RJM Mastermind. The pressure must've been too much when it was locked in...

Well I laughed....

I've been an AxeFx (I, II, II) user since 2007. I reluctantly 'downgraded' to a Line6 Pod Go in January due to the paucity of local gigs over the snowballing of fly-gigs. My Fractal/Mastermind rig is a bit too cumbersome AND expensive so I took the dive. Would I prefer to use my main Fractal...

Custom Scales - 'Message in a Bottle'

I'm trying to setup a preset to cover the signature riff harmony from 'Message in a Bottle' by The Police. I've manged to setup four custom scales for each of the four chords but I need a way to switch between them as I play. The changes are very quick so I'm looking for something other than a...

Prince "solo" flanger setting lets go crazy

It sounds to me like all wah except for a flanger for a few seconds when he slides up and down the neck before the descending outro.

A

I've given up downloading presets because frankly, my presets sound better. Even the presets by some major third party developers were ultimately a fairly disappointing. Just learn to build your own. Much more rewarding.

Purchased Patches

I'm also done with buying preset packs. Mostly underwhelming. I've done it a couple of times and, frankly, any of my own creations sound as good or better. That's not surprising really because they are tuned to my particular instruments.

Axe-Fx Firmware Release Version 18.00 Public Beta

Man I LOVE this company. This is why I've been a devotee, and exclusive Fractal user, since late 2007.

Headrush & Alto for Guitar and Vocals

I started with RCF Art310a and used that for years. Then bought a Yamaha DXR10 after the RCF died. It took me a while to adjust to the different tone of the DXR10. I then thought I'd like to run in stereo on large stages so I bought a Headrush 108 to pair with the DXR10. The 108 is louder than...

Poll: MK1 owners, 1024 User 2 cab slots or 32 FullRes cab slots?

I remember those days of long ago. I was one of those original members from that old forum. I got my first AxeFx (Ultra) back in Dec 2007. I've been reading this forum most days since back then. Good memories.

Triple Crown Info

I just tried this amp (Triple Crest 3) on your recommendation and I'm a bit stunned. You're right - a huge range of sounds. Zero tweaking. A new favourite. Thanks.
