MFC-101 mark 3 Name timeout problems

The error message was a common issue and there are ways to fix it. Unfortunately, I don't remember what I had done to fix it but it seemed to be an easy fix, if I remembered correctly. There was a good number of posts about it but you will have to search through the older posts (go back about...

One studio monitor, mono, and things sound great!

Interesting, I have seen several sites where the guitar cab manufacturer says they break in the speaker by having sound pass through it for 24 hours. Some companies will rename a speaker after breaking it in themselves. Also, I have found that all of my guitar speaker cabs sound different (and...

Can anybody help with MIDI settings, please?

Let the forum know if you get a midi connection once the M-Audio unit arrives and gets connected :-)

How many years is the AX8 designed to last for practical daily use?

Wouldn't a device like an Roland UM-ONE or M-Audio Midisport Uno work through the midi ports? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UMOneMk2--roland-um-one-mk2-usb-midi-interface I have used both of them for my Ultra so I am thinking it would work for the AX8. The USB option just made it...

No amp or cab is working.

It was the "Phaser" that had changed from X (Classic Vibe) to Y (Digital Mono). And yeah, I did find that the Y had lower-level settings for the Mix and Level. It did sound like a "clean" amp once I went to the "Y" channel on the Phaser and turning it back to "X" on the Phaser made it sound...

No amp or cab is working.

1) Have you tried reinstalling the firmware? Maybe it might reset something and fix the problem for you. 2) Go to page 94 and read the last part. It mentions a recovery routine. I would try it just to see if anything changes. 3) @chris had mentioned "a solution in another similar thread was...

No amp or cab is working.

A friend of mine had purchased an AX8 and he started pushing different buttons trying to change the preset and then the AX8 stopped having any amps/cabs being heard in the presets. He thinks he had accidentally changed something that silenced the amp/cab on the AX8 (not the On/Off option in the...

No amp or cab is working.

So your effects work but you are not hearing the amp/cab? Is there a global setting on the AX8 that you might have turned off/on that might have turned off the amp/cab? Did you try any different instrument cables for the outputs (TS only and not TRS)? Did you try different outputs (there is...

AX8 and guitar great but I need to also practice early morning and late at night.. (middle of night too).

You will find for $35 that the Behringer Headphone Amp will be a great/cheap solution for using the headphones with the AX8 especially since you can adjust the volume/level with the headphone amp. You don't need anything else to use it, simply connect your AX8 output to the input, plug in your...

If you don't want to always be in the same area as your DAW interface then here are some options for you. Here is a link to an older thread that discussed options for using headphones: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/ax8-headphone-socket.167314/ Here is a link to a cheap headphone amp...

Volume increase when Delay is turned off

I will fix this problem a few different ways. 1) I will create another scene where the volume drops overall (i.e. you can have a different effect have a volume drop using the X/Y option) 2) I will adjust the volumes on all effects to be about the same volume level whenever any of them get...

Am I crazy to go back to Ax8?

There has been a lot of good (and valid) reasons on both sides given here but it really does come down to what you think sounds, and works, best for you. I feel that the newest Fractal units sound great but I feel that the "improvements" have started to make them sound more "modern" (cleaned up...

Where did you find those tags? They look really cool and I would like to get me some of those tags/labels, if they are still available :)
