    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    Does anybody know if it’s possible to reamp with the Ax8 while listening back to the mix all in one interface? I have all setup with a Safire 6i6 and it’s letting me reamp with everything else muted but it produces noise if I want to play the other tracks. I actually can’t hear anything other...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    Thank you so much for the lengthy reply! You make really good points. I will mess with the eq some more and if that doesn’t work set my ax8 up for reamping and tweak the tone in the mix. Good to know the cab range is a good place to start. I thought the IRs would practically work as they are but...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    I went back into the project and changed some things. Got rid of the EQ on the separate guitars and edited the EQ on the group. Left panning as is and sorted the levels directly instead of sending them through that utility plugin. Overall the sound was louder but I was not able to save the tone...

    It does right? He did really good on that. Man! I watched quiet a few of your videos about the unit to see how you record and setup your own. I think you are right. I haven't had time yet but I plan to record the patches again and do less to them when mixing. If the don't sit well i'll know...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    Fun fact is I changed the strings on the guitar right before recording. From 10-52 D Standard to 10-46 in the same tuning–could that impact the tone in any way? I also picked harder on the rhythm parts because that is what I have read in interviews and articles from recording artists. I read...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    The DAW I am using is Ableton. I have the Rectifier panned all the way to the left and the Rockerverb all the way to the right. 50L and 50R Respectively. I don't think it goes further from that in this DAW. Pretty sure they are full signal left for one guitar and full signal right for the other...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    I tried this at some point but it only made the rhythm guitars slightly more chunky. It didn't make them stand out however and the mix was still fairly quiet. The tone wasn't any better. Oh well... See above. Maybe you guys can help with more context. let me know if there is any more...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    That sounds tight! Is the bass a plugin or did you play it? Sounds so clear. Regarding my patches I have user cabs as shown in the attached screen grabs. I almost can't believe what you just recorded is the patch I made. I am attaching a sample of what I am doing. You an tell right away that...

    Can't get my patches to sit in the mix.

    I think I may have hit a wall and not even sure this is something I can solve with the AX8 itself or if I need to revise my idea of mixing. I made a thread about my patch levels a while ago. They are going into the DAW at between -12 and -6dB. As far as I know that is good headroom for...

    SPDIF vs ANALOG out MAIN1 level varies

    I am using the front inputs on the Scarlett for Output 1 TRS and the SPDIF in the back for the SPDIF. On my AX8 all I can see with volume to max on my guitar and strumming hard is GREEN. I seldom go into Orange. On the Scarlett I have the input at the front set to hit green and I dialed it back...

    SPDIF vs ANALOG out MAIN1 level varies

    Sorry for the late reply. It took some time between work and some troubleshooting on my setup to get back. SPDIF according to the manual is definitely tied to Output 1. I can confirm that because I get signal on separate tracks/faders in Mix Control, one coming from he SPDIF and one coming from...

    SPDIF vs ANALOG out MAIN1 level varies

    I guess so. I am also confused because at the same time I discovered this I realized my front indicators not he Saffire 6i6 are in the green/safe and so are all meters in the DAW and yet the mix control app shows clipping in the mix output from the DAW. I am scratching my head wondering what...

    SPDIF vs ANALOG out MAIN1 level varies

    Hello, after reading some articles here I decided to try and record my AX8 directly via SPDIF. After some reading I have decided to post in relation to that: Do you guys experience any variation in level between the SPDIF and the Analog? I know SPDIF is supposed to emulate the signal from...

    What are the differences between expression pedals?

    Totally agree. I still feel like getting a Mission. For a moment I even considered getting just a wah I like and leaving the block free for other stuff in the patches. But we'll see. So far the Dunlop is nice. It.s just feeling different because of size and mechanics. Sorry about my typo up...

    What are the differences between expression pedals?

    I see. I have spent too much time away from electronics. used to do more little projects so my mind was more tuned to stuff like this. You are correct. If the Axe has a cap at the 100k the extra range of the pot basically falls out of the "reading" (if that's a proper way of calling it). SO...
