    FM3 Sounds "Different" from YouTube Demos

    And having anyone's hands other than yours will make their video and the tones in it sound very different from your playing, even -- or should I say especially! -- with the same settings!

    The JP guitars are quite high output, esp. the Majesty. I didn't change a thing about the preset itself. 100% stock. But JP and I both dial and test settings on a Majesty for continuity.

    How to get solid rock sound with studio monitors?!

    This. The answer is in the cab block. HS8s were my main monitors for many years early on. I dialed in presets for many tours (and Axe-Fx II factory preset update rounds!) on them. They're good speakers at their price-point, and I frequently recommend them. You can definitely get the solid rock...

    Market opportunity for controller/switcher with multiple SPDIF I/O pairs?

    ...S/PDIF switcher for my studio so that I can swap between III, FM9, FM3, VP4, and AM4 into my Apollo (which I essentially just use as a BFK* for the studio). I bought a switcher box on Amazon, ripped it apart, and reassembled on a rack blank. Could be fairly straightforward to do similar for...

    Has anyone been able to get a decent 12 string sound with the FM3?

    Antares (yes, of auto-tune fame ) developed a truly mindblowing electric guitar that could turn into any type of stringed instrument you could imagine at the touch of a button. The latency was undetectable. Their big show-stopper demo was handing you a profoundly out-of-tune guitar, pressing the...

    EQ Adjustment for Hearing loss

    You'd be surprised (or perhaps not) at the number of long-time pros who dramatically EQ their in-ear mixes specifically due to hearing loss. Decades of pre-quiet-stage rock 'n' roll takes an unavoidable toll. Monitor world can take care of it, but we've done plenty of it in the Fractal itself on...

    Fractal Friday 2025 (Season 4)

    Bryan gets some of the mono onstage cab signal from both his and Keith's cabs pushed up in his ears when he goes out onto the lower stage walk.

    Parameter paralysis discussion

    I always say this: If you've been happy with your tones on physical tube amps without ever opening the back of the amplifier, you'll be able to get happy with your tones using only controls on the Basic page. IOW, if you're intimidated by anything past the basic page, don't use anything past...

    Breakout Panel Cooper Carter

    I designed this as a one-off on DataPro's site. Their online design app is easy to use. Not the cheapest option, but very high quality. And I don't have a laser engraver. A lot of Fractal artist techs have used DP over the years for panel fab, which is the only reason I'm familiar with them.

    IEM price point and sound quality

    I'll always recommend custom molds over generics, but for either type, you're looking at a serious case of diminishing returns with anything over about $1200. And many brands make generics that sound quite good for much less.

    Scenes Quick Question

    I'd really advise against muting extra scenes. Again, the "least offensive" method specifically aims to prevent either an obvious dropout or an head-turningly dramatic change in tone, regardless of what you're playing when you accidentally hit a "blank" scene.
  79. Cooper Carter

    Scenes Quick Question

    My best practice solution for unused scenes is to copy the "least offensive" scene in your preset (i.e. the one that will be the least problematic if switched to accidentally) over to the unused scenes and then change the name of those scenes to "---". This method offers visual clarity and...

    As many have already said... Dial in your sounds at as close a volume to your performance level as possible. With physical amps, you rarely have the ability to do anything other than this. In the digital realm, most players are tone chasing too quietly. Gig volume tone-chasing can be hard on...

    Things to consider

    100%. FOH engineers in stadiums do their absolute best to mix for everyone at the show -- good system techs/AEs will make the walk up to the 300 level nosebleeds several times over the course of a soundcheck/production rehearsal while FOH dials it in to give it the best they can. But the reality...
  92. Cooper Carter

    Things to consider

    It can be such a vibe killer, no doubt. Curious to know: were you on ears or doing it au naturel? A great ear mix can go a long way toward ameliorating this kind of distraction from the fun, as others have said.
