    Can't get sound via USB

    I have a Dell XPS that I got this Jan. I downloaded the TWO drivers for FM3 and installed both. There was a confusing message when installing the USB Audio Setup driver installation (disconnect/connect) but I seemed to work past it. I can see the FM3 in both the input and output and set it to...

    Can't get Axe-FX sounds to play out of my new XPS computer

    I had and HP that I upgraded. I was able to play guitar and mix it with sounds from the computer, e.g., MP-3, so I know the Axe-Fx II has been configured properly once. I bought a new Dell XPS and loaded all of the Fractal software. I can change programs on my Axe Fx from my computer so I...

    Crappy sound going from my streaming device to Atomic CLR

    I want to take the output from my streaming device (in stereo) and play it through a single Atomic CLR. I have a 1/8" stereo plug from my audio device and I put a 1/8 to 1/4" adapter at the end of it. It sounds pathetic through the atomic. I can hear both tracks, so it appears the stereo to...

    SHOUT OUT to Mick / XiTone

    Oh I understand that you don't want to share proprietary things publicly...I just think if you have some, think about labeling and market it (obviously within limits). If you got some sizzle, put it out there! Let it be a further differentiator of your excellent product.

    SHOUT OUT to Mick / XiTone

    So I've been researching the FRFR speaker thing for quite a while--starting with what are my requirements (not currently playing in a band). Its come down to Xitone or CLR FRFR for me (if I don't take the PA route for cost/simplicity), There's clearly a lot of support for both options with a...

    Favorite FRFR powered speaker?

    So do tell...what is your perceived difference between the two? I see a lot of people buying K10s or K12s but the .2 versions are only $100 more. Why not go for the newer model?

    Do you use your FRFR wedges as backline speakers/floor effects?

    My perceived advantage of a FRFR wedge (Atomic, Xitone, Dynacord) is that you could use it in either as a monitor or backline speaker (not playing in a band right now and could see situations where both applications would come in handy). If you use it as a backline speaker, how much does the...

    Is Xitone still in business/QSCk8,2 specs?

    I tried to find their web site and xitonecab.com doesn't exist anymore (no. 1 google search result) and their last post on their Facebook page was in 2013. I pulled these specs on the QSC K8,2. How does this compare to a "true" FRFR?

    Mounting Mission Eng. Pedals to Pedatrain board

    I noted that Mission is selling a $25 kit to mount their pedals to a pedal board. Really? Has anyone just removed the feel and placed velcro on the bottom? The kit puts attached a clear acrylic base plate to the pedal.

    AccessingFX II presets via MFC-101

    I'm afraid I need more help here. And I've consulted the Wiki, past Forum posts, and manuals with no success. I went to pg. 37 of the manual and not sure of your suggestion--are you saying to use song or bank modes? I see that in preset mode the presets are in strict numerical order. That...

    AccessingFX II presets via MFC-101

    I've read about rearranging preset order via AxeEdit in order to get the presets aligned with MFC-101 switches, but I'm reluctant to do that because I'd like to be able to keep the default patch order (not sure why, but seems like a good idea). I've tried to program the 101 to access different...

    Can Axe Edit Track Real-Time Changes?

    I tried setting up a "bypass modifier" by selecting a modifiable parameter (e.g., level) and then selecting source as external 8 (there is no external 8 pedal) while setting the min/max values the same (for this exercise). I could not see the blocks become active/inactive when I depressed the...

    How do you change the default parameter settings for a block?

    Convince a Skeptic - Tone Match challenge

    I think that the biggest benefit of the AXF is not in duplicating sounds you can already produce, but in its ability to open your mind to completely new sounds. Sure, it's cool to tone match artists you might dig to generate new tone, but I don't see the value in trying to reproduce sounds you...
