Will Fractal ever go this route? Ataras guitar auto tune

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Guitar synths have been around for decades and unlike amp modelling, they never really took off. There are just some physical limitations you can not workaround with just clever code. After all, once your pickup combines the signal of all strings into one output, you...

Will Fractal ever go this route? Ataras guitar auto tune

Huh? But that's the whole reason this works? There is no way to get clean string separation without a hex pickup. Using a conventional magnetic with only one output would simply never sound good. The only issue I see with this product is that their marketing is a bit flawed. "Autotune" is a...

Nice. Good to see that 13-pin outputs get more and more love. I don't own any 13-pins yet, but I plan to retrofit one of my cheap guitars with one in the future. Maybe I'll give this a try then.

AX8 vs Helix: Amp Tone and Effects

The whole reason for an A/B comparison is so that people who don't own both can decide for themselves what they like more tone-wise. You basicly used the argument in favor of a direct A/B comparison to argue against it. Weird. I don't need to validate anything. But I believe in science, not...

AX8 vs Helix: Amp Tone and Effects

And another AX8 vs. Helix thread without a single blind A/B comparison between the two. So basicly everything is pure blabla. Move on, nothing to see here.

My wife got me a Mono m80 dual case with a tick bag. Whats your thought on them.

So, uh, you gig alone? ;) Just saying; there is always one band member who has his hands free. Mostly the vocalist. Let him work for all the attention he's getting.

updating

Btw, how about a "before and after" recording? Would be the ultimate opportunity to do that... and I'm curious to see how far the Axe has really come in the last years (ignoring all the cork sniffers that pretend they can hear all the subtle changes...).

Axe Fx Buzz Kill

Don't be so hard on yourself. We only had a few hundred A/B shootouts in these forums to know that the Axe sounds pretty much identical. ;P

updating

Firmware 4 to Quantum? Better fasten your seatbelt, because it will be a helluva ride. :p I don't think anyone can give you recommendations for that beyond: just update, then do a firmware reset. Be prepared to dial in all your presets from scratch.

metronome questions

But I can't tap in my phone with my footcontroller... Technically, I can, but I doubt the phone would survive that. An old Nokia probably could. Metronome improvements for the Axe would be very convenient.

Need Security Camera Recommendations

Btw, when it comes to security cameras, get a fake one and put it in a nicely visible place. A fraction of the cost and works as good as a real one (because what you want is the deterrence effect, not the surveilance itself). And you save the trouble of hooking it up.

6-string Acoustic Guitar Sounds like 12-string

Sounds a bit too chorus-y for my taste. I'd probably go more "dry" and work more with delay than with modulation. The way it is now, it almost feels like a hyper exaggerated 12-string than a normal 12-string. But that's just imho.

Deserted Island Artist...

Silence. I like variety; if I had no other options available and had to pick one artist, I'd rather not pick at all and go with relaxing nothingness.

Wait, for someone trying to encourage others to go wireless, this post sounded awfully decouraging. ;)
