My first Axe II recording :)

No way!! Was it you who compiled the Systematic Guide? That's awesome!! And man, really stoked you enjoyed Blinding so much :) I'd say the newer stuff will be less 'flash' and more 'songwriting', if that makes any sense haha! Dan's slamming it out of the park as well, we should hopefully have...

My first Axe II recording :)

Wow!!! Thank you so much guys! Honestly, having just listened to it again today with fresh ears, there's a bit of mud happening in the low mids - but I didn't really do any post processing of any sort, as I wanted to show just how amazing a tone one can get right out of the box, both for guitars...

My first Axe II recording :)

Hey guys, I've had my Axe II for a couple of weeks now but only just got the time to really have a good sit down with it and dial in some high gain guitar and bass tones. See what you think? Very much a WIP still, any criticism/suggestions/comments are welcome :)...

Having a hell of a time with my tone

You have to realize that's probably a double or quad tracked tone on record, which sounds drastically different from single centered guitars, so trying to get that sound with just a single guitar probably won't work.

What can Standard and Ultra owner's expect in future fw updates?

Same here :lol Frankly, I very much doubt ANY Axe owner uses more than 50% of the available amps on a regular basis. I'm not sure what exactly they expect from future updates. There are no bugs, a lot of the existing features are way more than most folks will ever get around to utilizing...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but thought i'd share it. Bit of an eye opener, especially for folks into sound engineering and production. It's rather long, but I think most guys will benefit from it. YouTube - Audio Myths Workshop

Will you buy an Axe FX II?

I'll probably buy it in a year or so, if I start playing live. Being a strictly studio musician at the moment, my Ultra is all I'll ever need for recording purposes.

Standard/Ultra firmware 11

Cliff has indicated that there will be updates. You have to understand though that both the Ultra and Std are nearly maxed out, there is only so much more they can do. In any case, updates or not, there's a TON that the 1st gen units can do that people haven't even discovered yet.

Massive respect to Cliff and everyone at Fractal. Seriously, what you've done for the middle-class musician community (speaking for myself) is absolutely amazing. Can't stress enough how much I appreciate it. I'm about to release an album myself and there's just no way it would have happened and...

What scares me more than anything else is the thought that Cliff might stop doing that, if this is the kind of appalling, ungrateful response he's going to get every time a new product comes out. I can understand people's sentiments to some extent (i've had the Ultra only since January myself...

Am I alone in keeping the Ultra????

I'm definitely keeping my Ultra. I've had it about 5 months now and have barely scratched the surface of what it can do. Features like headphone outs, USB etc are nice but unnecessary for me since I don't like monitoring through headphones and I have a nice audio interface and DI box already. As...

Haha thanks a lot Kyle! The guitar tone needed a small amount of post EQ (I used the 5105 and Fas Modern, and the latter has a slightly fizzy midrange voicing), but other than a couple of small notches it was pretty good to go. Ears are fried though from mixing for so long, so thought getting...
