    USB Audio PnP Status (Linux)

    It's never been officially supported, but as a PnP audio device it should just "work" like other USB interfaces (like my Scarlet one), theoretically with any OS. I was able to get it to work with some tweaks a year or two ago, I even hacked AxeEdit to work under Wine, but the glitching was bad...

    USB Audio PnP Status (Linux)

    Last time I bought the FM3, I was hoping to make it the center of my audio world (interface, recording, gigging, everything). But the USB audio was glitching out and I returned it. Just wondering if anyone has a setup doing either of these: 1) Linux based (I use Manjaro and Jack) 2) FM3 on...

    FM3-Edit + Wine

    The issue I had was not MIDI, which worked fine natively, but the FM3-Edit communication, which does not use MIDI but a USB protocol. I was using VB with Windows 8, so maybe 10 could have fixed the problem, but I refuse to install that trainwreck :)

    FM3-Edit + Wine

    I returned the unit, so I have no idea if the issue is fixed. It was very close, but fairly unusable to me without USB support. It may be fixed in a future patch! But yes, everything worked fine once set up correctly, except for the things mentioned above.

    FM3-Edit + Wine

    I was an Apple fanboy back in the day too. I know the system pretty well, in college was when I made the switch from OS9 to the brand new X, which was Unix based with a nice GUI. In fact that's what got me into learning Unix. But Linux is far better for me, for several reasons. In fact I'd...

    FM3-Edit + Wine

    I spent a huge part of two days troubleshooting this and returned the FM3. My discoveries after many hours of research: - Wine will not work. Even if you set up the serial port correctly (I tried various ways) there are custom drivers which won't work. - Eventually I gave up and set up a...

    Output #2

    It was just a long, cheap, standard guitar cable, hiss and pops kinda stuff. I wasn't really surprised, but changing the cable was so much quieter! The other cable is just a standard balanced TRS to XLR, as far as I know. I'm only using the "L" output on Output 2 to the FRFR.

    Output #2

    I'm using Output 1 ---> XLR ---> Desktop monitors for my interface/USB audio, and I'd like Output 2 to go to my FRFR speaker. I tried a simple TS cable and it was rather noisy, but then I tried a TRS ---> XLR cable and it was far less noisy. Granted it was thicker and shorter, but why does...

    FM3-Edit + Wine

    I'm using a recent version of Wine and 64 bit bottle (on Manjaro XFCE). Both audio drivers, FM3 Edit, and Bot all installed fine. I can fire up FM3 edit, but it does not connect by default. It DOES let me connect with the "MIDI Through Port-0" option, but it has messed up into like garbled...

    Is there any reason to be concerned about running CPU near Max all the time?

    This is important to me because I'm planning on using the FM3 all day, every day, as my main interface for normal computer audio and guitar. It will be on nearly 100% of the time. I need to know that's ok.

    F*&@#$^% Microsoft

    Like many other people, I'm moving away from using them when I can. I don't like big companies in general, they are no exception. It's hard to avoid them completely, but I block all their advertising and tracking scripts, use DuckDuckGo for searches. There's a few good video platforms based...

    F*&@#$^% Microsoft

    I can't believe people still by Microsoft products. They spy on you (when they work) and Windows is invasive and terrible to use. In the early 2000s I was an Apple fanboy, but then realized Linux is better than both. Apple is quickly becoming the next Microsoft, a giant who has to cater to...

    Fan running all the time

    Back in the day I replaced the fans in the AxeFx and then the Ultra when I owned that. It was cheap, about $10 for the fan, and pretty much a drop in replacement, and made it dead quiet. Couldn't hear the fans running even inches away. What I don't understand is that with such an easy way to...
