USB 3&4 Not Connecting to Out 2

I use the OUT 1 XLRs exclusively for FOH and OUT2 1/4" exclusively to a headphone amp. I'm running Reaper trying to send jam tracks to OUT 2. I'm looking to get the jam tracks and guitar signal both to OUT 2/headphone amp. I've followed the instructions in the manual. I'm running Beta 7 FW. I...

Block Library Breakdown

I think I must misunderstand the purpose/capabilities of the block library. Hoping someone can set me straight, I'm trying to save my own custom block definitions to the library so I can reuse them in channels and scenes. Example: 1) I have a preset with 4 scenes. 2) I want to setup a...

AX8 MIDI Power Spec Question

I want to connect a Midi Solutions Relay to the MIDI out of my AX8. Cliff or AdminM can you answer this for me? Is the AX8 MIDI power old vs new standard or rather +5 or +3.3v? Here is the blurb from Midi Solutions FAQ. MIDI Solutions products draw power from either a MIDI Out or MIDI Thru...

Loud Tap Tempo Button Click

Optimizing FRFR Volume - How?

I am the new owner of two Yamaha DXR10s. Liking them a lot. Before this my AX8 experience was totally in the headphone/IEM world. Not surprisingly, my old presets aren't translating to the DXR10s very well. However, I'm finding that most of the factory presets sound great on the DXR10s with...

Yamaha DXR-10 Line Noise Compared to a K10

Tested a DXR10 today against a QSC K10. I used AX8 OUT 1 TS to DXR10 channel 2 L (mono) input and to the channel A input on the K10. This setup was quiet as a church mouse connected to the K10. No sound until I hit a string. With the exact same setup the DXR10 had a constant line noise buzz. Not...

RCF NX 12-SMA vs ST 12-SMA

I've been looking to buy a couple of FRFR wedges for my AX8. Just got the old 15% off Musician's Friend coupon. They carry RCF but only the ST 12-SMA. Specs show the ST is less power, a couple of pounds heavier and does not have NEODYMIUM drivers. Has anybody tried the ST compared to the NX?

AX8/AxeFX Acoustic DI Tone Quest

I've been a Fractal fanatic from the Axe Standard days through the Axe II and now the AX8. On all of them I've been able to get a passable DI only acoustic guitar tone, but never a great one. I find this baffling considering all the eq, IRs, compression, etc we have at our disposal. I've read...
