Recording in Reaper

Unfortunately I'm very much a recording novice, but I've downloaded reaper & when I insert a track & select it to record my guitar tone instantly muffles and there is a severe slap back echo. There are no effects engaged in reaper & no effect in my signal chain in the axe fx. I've tried...

Dokken - Heaven Sent

Attempting to tone match George Lynch. Heaven Sent Solo. I think the key is hybrid picking for this solo. Not sure if George did or not, but it was the only way I could get it somewhat clean.

White Lion Wait

Instead of doing something constructive on a day off I'm playing with toys. Much more fun. Tried to get in the ballpark of Vito's tone. Patches are attached if anyone would like them. Used scene 1 for rhythm and scene 2 for the lead and the Vito clean for the end.

My favorite High Gain Tone

This is by far my favorite high gain tone I've come up with on any Fractal product. I've tried really hard to replicate this on my Axe Fx II XL, but can't seem to quite match it. Lately I'm not even turning on the XL, just always playing my Ultra & using this patch. I'm using a Music Man...

Ultra Patches

I mainly use the Axe Fx II now, but could never part with the Ultra. These are some of the patches I use set up for FRFR. I use a musicman JP6 & they sound really good with it. The volumes used to all be level, but I've played around with them a bit & a few of them are likely off. Enjoy.

Saving Axe Edit for II & Ultra?

I own both the XL+ and an Ultra. Is there a way to save both the latest Axe Edit for the XL & the legacy version for the Ultra to one's computer? Whenever I download one it overwrites the other, so I'm constantly downloading depending upon which unit I want to use. Thanks.

Setting up the Axe Fx with In Ear Monitors

A quick video on how I set up my patches & Axe Fx for stereo in ears. This is simply how I do it & it works great for me. Probably nothing new here for all the guru's, but hopefully it helps the less technically proficient (like myself) figure out how to get a great tone with in ear monitors.

Some Direct to FOH video

Seems like there always lots of discussions in regards to running direct vs. a power amp / cab set up. I've always run direct just out of convenience, but never really knew how it sounded since I use in ears. Someone sent me this short clip, taken with an iPhone I believe. I can't remember...

Still learning how to record with this beast. I've used it for a live many times, but am finding recording is quite different in terms of patch set up. Wasn't trying to match the tone, just going for something that cuts through the mix & sounded good to my ears. Recorded with reaper - no post...
