Axe-Fx III wait list: Let us know when you get notified...

How long currently is Fractal's lag time between order-time and shipping-time for the Axe FX III? In other words, if I order an Axe FX III today, how long approximately would it be before it would physically leave the Fractal warehouse and be in the courier's hands on the way to me? Same day...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

Topping out at 48k was the norm in pro studio gear until about maybe 15 years ago when 96k slowly became a studio standard as well. But these devices had both 44k and 48k usually and that is the point. The problem is not sound quality issues where 48 vs 96 makes the gear pro or not, it's that...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

However, this is all off-topic. The fixed 48k sample rate still impedes digital workflow integrations in the Axe Fx for many pro users who do not want any additional digital>analog>digital round trips for whatever reason, be it sound-related or workflow-related. Ultimately, we know that the...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

•••OT••• Hi Chris, no don't worry, I knew your question was a question. I could talk for hours on this, but because it’s mostly OT IMHO, I will keep it as short as I can. I would generally say most people somehow involved with frequently intently “listening to sound” can tell the difference...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

It's all relative and also depending on the context. Is there a substantial difference between Amplitube and Axe Fx? Those with ears who can hear and who are going for that certain tone...HUGE...nearly night and day! Most of the general public...tiny, if any, difference at all. If definition...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

OT-I've seen this misunderstanding a few times in this forum. The Axe Fx's XLR balanced analog outs are at +4 level and would normally be fed directly (or via patchbay) into the AD converter, not into a mic preamp. The only time you would run these +4 outs into an isolated mic pre is for more...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

I think that Christmas should be moved to February 25th. I honestly do. December stands on its own as a cool and gorgeous late-autumn month. February is dead, boring and absolutely miserable in every other way and could use the pepping up and excitement. Plus, Dec 25 is probably not Christ's...

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

Yes, 95-99% of Axe II users have no or just one other piece of digital gear to sample rate sync to...their audio interface in their basement, bedroom, etc and all audio sessions self-originate so they can be 48k as well. In these cases it's easy just to move all digital gear and audio sessions...

Is the Axe-Fx III well suited for two guitars at the same time?

Studio kats run two guitars through the Axe 2 all the time because it's so many leagues above any and all software amp simulation plugins in feel, touch, musicality and in tone.

Fixed 48k Sample Rate Impedes Recording Studio Integrations

Dear FAS, Word is that the Axe-Fx III is fixed at 48k again. First, can you confirm this? Second, if true, do you have any plans to go adjustable-sample-rate (44k, 48k, 88k, 96k) with future Axe III hardware or firmware updates? When you combine digital outboard gear in the recording studio...

What is the base sampling rate?

Maybe I missed it, but do we have official word on the Axe Fx III's sample rate? Is it variable or set at the (major PITA for recording studio integration) 48k again?

So What's New on the III? ...(Axe-Fx II vs III)

Is the Axe FX 3 still restricted to operating at 48k? Earlier Axe's 48k was just a naive choice that let to A LOT of PITA situations in recording, not knowing that 44k was the music studio session standard and 48k was the standard in video.
