    R.I.P. Ralph Towner

    I was surprised there wasn't more of an acknowledgment of Ralph Towner. He's been a huge inspiration for me. Yes he didn't play electric guitar, but a a composer and guitar player he was in his own league unparalleled. I'm recording some tributes for him as I type.

    Goodbye to the Fractal Ecosystem: A Chronicle of Functional Fatigue

    I totally understand and appreciate your decision. I'm devoted to Fractal - In the studio I have Axe FX III, FM3 and an FM9 as my gigging rig. But yeah. I get it. I no longer bring my laptop to the gig. The last time I messed things up trying to make adjustments on that little screen in the...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 31.01 Beta 2

    Damn. I had a complete thyroidectomy a few years ago - also benign. It was just so large it made the endocrinologist nervous. But it sounds like yours was different. Mine had nothing to do with the sternum! Get well soon.

    Weirdness after 31.01 beta 2 update.

    Thanks. Luckily it was before I changed the new preset. Whew. But I already imported the other one, so changes to that were lost. But this was the correct one. Thanks.

    Weirdness after 31.01 beta 2 update.

    I made a recent preset, a variation of a previous one. I did the rare move of not backup this preset before updating. I made sure the preset was saved though. I updated to 31.01. I was surprised because it was faster. I don't think it took time to unpack in the Ax-Fx III. I did the 5 second...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 31.01 Beta 2

    I updated but my most recent preset didn't make it. I saved the changes to Axe before I updated. I didn't save the preset though. Thankfully it's a variation of a previous preset. BUT here's what's weird - the preset says "EMPTY". Yet the FC-12 has the name of the preset.

    Post Your Axe-Fx III Rigs Here!

    Yeah they definitely are, but I use the fractal reverbs mostly for guitar as I want to be able to get the same sounds at the gigs. I use the reverbs for the rest of the band AND the guitar when mixing. But still defer to the Fractal effects for simplicity sake.

    Yeah, yeah. This is still annoying. Just now Axe-Edit III had been disconnected. The hub is connected to a thunderbolt hub. Every other device on that hub is working. I unplugged/replugged the USB cable several times, quit/powered on Axe-Edit. The only thing that brought it back was quitting...

    I've noticed this especially after the last update. Maybe the last two. I check the usb connections - the cable, hub on both ends. Plug it into another hub, make sure it's on. Then when I turn off/of Axe Fx III it reconnects. This is new behavior. I haven't seen this before. But then again...

    Curious: how many use frfr or cab for “your” stage sound

    About half or less of my gigs have no real FOH so I use my XiTones. I use them anyway. It's nice to have a mixer but doing a lot of jazz gigs means you're repsonsible for your own stage volume and sound. Smaller venues and clubs.
