AES/EBU in the Axe FX II. How it works?

Hi guys, I want to buy in the next months a good quality soundcard interface for my studio, and since I'm having problems using the Axe FX II as an USB interface, I'm searching a soundcard that will have AES/EBU connections. But since I've never used it before, can somebody explain to me how it...

Help for creating a TouchOsc Layout for Axe FX II

I've recently downloaded TouchOsc for iPhone and I want to make a layout for the Axe FX II. I'm not afraid to tweak and learn things, but I'm quite a noob regarding midi messages. Let's say for example, I want to create a knob to control the "Amp type" in the "Amp 1 Block". What kind of...

Tutorial: How to Reamp 2 tracks at once while listening the Main Mix

I’ve always found that in mixes what sounds good on its own, doesn’t always translate very well in the biggest picture. This is especially true related to layering guitar tracks. Too much gain, too less, too much bass, you name it… So why don’t reamp and edit two tracks at once while...

Question for Cliff about the IR Technology and the future of Cab Simulation

Cliff, I've read somewhere that you guys wanted to have a new Cab Simulation algorithm but it was too heavy on the CPU at that time (maybe it was back when there are only the Standard and The Ultra). Don't get me wrong, I really like the IR technology, the work of the guys at Ownhammer and...

Do you know what kind of FX is this? (A Perfect Circle)

Hi guys, I always wanted to know what kind of FX/Chain was used to do this sound. It's the solo/lead that starts at 3:02 and that sounds like a gritty synth lead: 9. Thinking of you - A Perfect Circle - YouTube any advice? Thanks!

Fractal Audio Axe FX II Logic Pro Icons

Since this waiting for the Axe FX II is killing me, I've decided to made these Logic Icons. These are 300x300 pixels PNG files, that works for sure in Logic 9 (I don't know if Logic 8 accept these dimensions). To include these icons you have to: 1) Download the folder from dropbox 2) Right...

Does anybody worked on some A Perfect Circle patches?

Like I said, I really love Billy Howerdel tones, and I also know that he is an Axe FX user. Does anybody was able to replicate some of his tones? I really love the distorted tones of "The Package" and "Pet" from their second album, really astounding sound!

Oh God...

Yeah the title is quite dramatic I have to admit, but I want to share this turning point in my experience with the Axe FX... I tried a lot of things to get a good mid-heavy tone but I was never been able to get to the point... I know the sound that was in my head but I never found a good setting...

What is your approach for 2 different guitar parts/sounds?

Just try to have 1 "tone" is hard... 2 "tones" that sits well in a mix is bloody hard... Then you start to track the same part 2,3,4 times... And then bass, drums, synths, piano, strings and vocals... And then you want that the record sound "big" and "deep" and "wide". It's a massacre!! Ok...

How to set a De-Esser (Dynamic EQ if you prefer) into Axe FX

Hi guys, I need to know how to set up a Dynamic EQ into the AXE-FX. I know it's possible, it's even written on the manual but I had no luck... I really need it because sometimes the harshness of high gain amps is too much, and since equing is not my favourite solution since it affects the entire...

More UC Slots and USB can be implemented or we have to wait?

Just asking myself what are the "only two things" that I miss on the Axe FX... Keep in mind that for me, it would be an amazing unit either if it has only the Marsha amps, so I don't want to look like "I always want more" kind of guy... But this two things from my prospective are absolutely...
