    Thanks Cliff & Team

    I was a proud Axe FX II waitlist owner back in the day and now an FM9 owner. I'm absolutely stunned by how much the FM9 has improved since the AXE FX II was released over a decade ago (A friggin decade already!? GEEZ!) I'm grateful for all of your hard work Cliff & Team. It's truly an...

    Been an ear player all my life. What's the best way to start learning guitar?

    Hey everyone - Like the title says I've been mostly an ear player, though I am familiar with basic Music Theory. I'd like to take my guitar playing to the next level. I'm sure learning the scales, modes, and other types of theory is a good idea, but what's going to be the best way to start down...

    What is a VCA master in mixing?

    As far as I understand it, it's where a group of tracks are sent to one bus, effectively acting as a group channel. Am I way off base here or can someone help me better understand this concept? Also it appears this concept pertains more to pro tools? (I think they developed it?) If it matters...

    I've always played music from the likes of Pink Floyd, Beatles, Coldplay, etc. (I've always enjoyed listening to heavier music though.) So the other day I hear 5FDP covering Bad Company! That has motivated me to start learning about heavier tones in music. Anyways, where would you guys...

    Cubase Output through Axe to monitors barely audible..?

    It's been awhile since I've used the axe II as an output and recording device. I've tracked a single mp3 file into cubase, running to my main outs (1 & 2 via axe), to my monitors. If I switch the input mode to USB it reamps the mp3 which I don't want obviously, but setting it to output 1 drops...

    Hey everyone, We're trying to record some audio on a laptop, but it doesn't have a firewire port, only a USB port. Since you can use the AXE FX as an audio device in your DAW, would it be possible to route the audio output of the audio interface into the Axe FX II via quarter inch cable...
