Hi all,
I feel like such a noob. But having resorterd to all my known sources and having reached a level of frustration previously unknown to me I must resort to making a new thread.
The problem: for some reason I no longer get a guitar signal from the Axe FX. I use my old MacBook and up until today everything worked just fine. The Axe FX communicated great with my Reaper DAW and no problems whatsoever. My band decided that we would try and track our new recording at home instead of booking a studio. They appointed me as the de facto engineer because, well, I'm the only one with any experience with recording, DAW's and stuff... That was probably the first mistake they made.
I use my axe fx mostly to make demo's at home. For some reason or other I've been convinced not to use it on the record because "I could never recreate the sounds out of the Axe FX " when we hit the road again. I keep it at home. It's also the only piece of my gear that hasn't been stolen... It never leaves the house anymore.
I haven't touched it in a month or so though whilst recording in our rehearsal space. On the way home I had a few great ideas pop into my head.. And now that I want to record those new ideas I can't...
I ramble.
I've tried every solution I can find... Creating an agregate device etc...
Right now my settings are as follows
- In Reaper the Axe is set as the default audio device
- same in the audio midi setup on the Mac
- I have a track armed and set to the front left mono input
- USB digi out source in the Axe's I/O is set to output 1
These settings have always allowed me to create some tracks. Now reaper doesn't even show an incoming signal whatsoever...
Please help.
