    Besides performing live how do you guys get people to discover you in your city?

    IMHO there's no magic bullet, and no guarantees. You perform as much as possible. You promote online everywhere. You present the public with a "product" that catches their attention (and how to do that?). You spend wisely money where it needs to be spent. Look to those in your area who ARE doing...

    Any bassists using AF3?

    Got a chance to try this technique out and it worked fairly well, down to drop-D. All things considered a viable solution for certain types of synth sound that don't require a strong attack. Shame that it takes a pitch block to get this done. Wish Fractal would figure out some way to address...

    FM9 maiden gig voyage

    I finally, after 2 years of owning the FM9 Turbo, got a chance to air it out at a show this past weekend. The gig is a straightforward rock/hard rock/metal show, from Buck Cherry to Iron Maiden to STP. Feed was DI to the mixer with stage wedge providing amplification. From front to back, the...

    Any bassists using AF3?

    Looking for low E into synth block and getting low E out.

    Any bassists using AF3?

    I'd love to hear an audio clip of bass synth playing low E in the synth block. I've never heard it claimed as possible, and never gotten it to work myself.

    So you're saying that you get useable tracking in the synth block on bass below G on E string? I've had good results in general with the Pitch block, but not on the Synth Block down low. I'll try on my FM9 to see if this helps.

    Any bassists using AF3?

    Keep in mind that many of us experience poor/unusable tracking problems with the Synth Block below the G on the E-string. Hoping some day Fractal finds a way to extend the synth range for bassists. Not an issue if you're using the synth for octave below (playing the bass notes an octave higher)...

    The FM9 Sells itself at the gig

    Quick background....9 years ago I sold my AxeFXII to our lead guitarist singer. It's served him very well, although by current standards the programming using his Behringer FCB1010 is very, very awkward, to the point where we'd be hard pressed today to remember exactly where to begin. Last...

    Wish Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI

    Some like the original version and others like the flexibility of the added MID EQ on the V2 model BDDI. I'd be thrilled to have either and wouldn't quibble considering the current state of affairs....baby steps here. ;)

    Best Axe FX Bass amp for metal.

    It is key for brutal bass tones to have that frequency split. I've found that otherwise, running a full-range tone into a drive or amp for distortion, it just won't behave easily. Erasing all of that low end allows for much more latitude in adjusting dirt and drive on the high end signal path.

    Best Axe FX Bass amp for metal.

    A link to an audio clip of the type of sound you're looking for would be helpful. Keep in mind that the treatments for bass in a mixed recording might be quite different than the needs of someone getting a bass tone for the stage as a replacement for a traditional rig and/or for use in an IEM...
