Just because it's great didn't mean it can't be betterSeems like After every firmware update people swear that it sounds just like a real tube amp and it soo much better than the previous one
Yes. Correct.Seems like After every firmware update people swear that it sounds just like a real tube amp and it soo much better than the previous one

By chance, did you check the USB cable connection?Lost USB input functionality after the Cygnus update. Was working great on fw15. Loading a DAW shows missing input & output ports after upgrading to Fw16. Tried searching the forums for a long time before posting this and all I can tell is 1-2 others ran into the same issue but couldn't find a post resolving it. Thoughts? TIA!
The same here. Cliff is the best. I say this as ex line6 pod hd500 userAbsolutely nothing, nothing is cooler than having read Cliff talk about waking up with a new idea that he had to code, then implementing it within days. What we've just seen with FAS is the best of what a company would do for players. Musicians by and large are given little to no respect by manufacturers: guitars are made with minimal QC, and guitar stores generally don't QC either. Software and firmware can be unbelievably slow to update. I could go on. Fractal stands in stark contrast to all that. This kind of commitment to excellence is something truly beautiful to witness; I'm just struck with this deep feeling of respect. It's not about a company or a product, it's about a connection to an idea, a value. How often do see that anywhere in the world of music?
That.. again??? So stop listening to people!Seems like After every firmware update people swear that it sounds just like a real tube amp and it soo much better than the previous one
In my case, ax3 sounds better than half-dozen of boutique tube amps I used to ownSeems like After every firmware update people swear that it sounds just like a real tube amp and it soo much better than the previous one
The same words are used to describe updates since the beginning. Not a bad thing, but repetitive euphoria gets old.Seems like After every firmware update people swear that it sounds just like a real tube amp and it soo much better than the previous one
Thank you cliff, absolutely loved the update, idk if the improvements reflect very well in the mix, but there is some oomph , i have only really tried the high gain amps yet and every note i play it kinda is felt alot alot more than earlier, even on my monitors which are relatively very flat. It just makes you feel more connected to the playing, and i play really low stuff drop g- double drop d territory.
What the ideal way to use the speaker dynamics though? so far i seem to have best results on the stock settings.
thanks, i generally tend to use 5153,5150 amps for rythm and soldano x99 for leads,i'll record samples to compare as per what you said.For high gain amps like herbie 3/USA IIC++/Archean Bright, I like to set speaker dynamics to 1 and speaker time around 200ms.
Higher settings makes high gain amps more cloudy, less tight, less immediate.
for crunch/edge of breakup I like speaker dyn. around 4 and speaker time around 2500-3000ms.
For pristine clean sounds I can´t really hear the effect that much, so I set it somewhere between those 2 settings.
Hope that helps a bit.
I had the same thoughts when I tried the first betas, for the first time since I have a fractal device I felt I preferred an older firmware, but..That's EXACTLY my thoughts yesterday after spending a good 45 minutes building brand new sounds from scratch using the amp and cab combos that I use regularly. Not as tight, less bite, and the new firmware just feels like it's trying to create more low end that wasn't needed.
It could be computer side, have you rebooted your computer to eliminate any possible USB driver issues? I hope it gets working for you, those Windows updates can be tricky. Also I’ve heard Fractal support is super helpful if it turns out to be Axe related!Thanks to all w/ links to archived fw. Reverted to FW15 and restored global settings from backup. No change. Any ideas? Was really expecting it to work that time. It appears that the FAS USB audio driver no longer shows up as available in my DAW, or in Windows audio devices.
I've been on the Fractal train for going on 3 months now. When Cliff posted "I had a midnight epiphany about speaker compression, you guys are gonna love this", and a week later I had that update on my Axe Fx, that just blew my mind.Absolutely nothing, nothing is cooler than having read Cliff talk about waking up with a new idea that he had to code, then implementing it within days.
